Wonderful sounding DAC

Wonderful sounding DAC,great timbre. Huge soundstage and perfect imaging.
If you want to take this a level further, send it PGGB DSD files or Hqplayer for realtime upsampling.

Kicks way above its price bracket

Very pleased with my purchase of the Holo Audio Cyan 2

Very pleased with my purchase of the Holo Audio Cyan 2 it is a NOS only DAC. I use it in my desk top system consisting of Roon + HQ Player using the sinc-l filter and ASDM7EC-super modulator upscaling to DSD256. This equates to a Filter Tap of 2.576 Million and it certainly sounds amazing and better than my previous Holo Audio Spring 1 Level 2 DAC from 2017.
