I started to follow reviews about R2R DAC, I knew about this principle from recent years, I knew that the proof and prices are performant, as an aside, DACs with SIGMA-DELTA, have unbeatable and affordable technical characteristics for the consumption of the common man, but in my opinion, here I am subjective, it does not sound as I want, the ROHM MUS-IC BD34301EKV32 Bit Stereo chip in my DAC SMSL D300 really does it, But my ears, my brain wants perfection. I've been watching HOLO Audio May, HOLO Audio Spring 3 for a while, I damn like how they are executed, the Trick principle used to encode and decode, Yes, I would need that, but my financial possibilities are exceeded. I saw in passing Holo Audio Cyan 2, acceptable as price for me, at the moment I went over it quite easily, it seemed too simplistic, I was one click away to order a Gustard R26 from a French site where I have an account. Chance, or curiosity makes me watch on Youtube a video Holo Audio Cyan 2, presented by Mr. Hans Beekhuyzen, a reliable engineer, for whom I have every respect. I saw how it is executed inside, I saw what technical characteristics it presents, I followed with interest the opinion of a specialist and YES! My light bulbs went on, my 6th sense that works for me, gave me the urge to order it, that he is solving my claims with Analog music and I was not wrong, the second choice of DAC, very, very inspired! I let it wear and I can tell you without fail, that it is the perfect choice, I really hear Analog music, UPS! :) . On PCM music files, compared to SMSL D300, it's a bit higher, bass with more depth, just as soft, soft, pleasant. The voice seems a little bit forward, but with a more holographic presence, with more texture. Highs sound beautiful, clear, crystal sound, it was expected, my flair did not deceive me. The big surprise came when listening to DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 files. I used the "Audiophile Hi-RES System Test-DSD128 " album for comparison. A deep, deep, powerful but soft bass at the same time. A perfect spatial separation, you close your eyes and feel the position of the musical instruments. You feel your voice in front of you, you feel every sound, every movement, you feel how space fills up, how music pours throughout the room, giving the feeling of holographic music. Here I can say that it has exceeded very, very much the possibilities of SMSL D300. I pulled myself out, completed the realization of the system as I wanted. Holo Audio Cyan 2 receives signal via USB and I connected it via XLR to SMSL H300 AMP-PRE. The Coaxial input receives signal from GEERFAB D.BOB when listening to SACD CD, or watching a Blue-ray show on Smart TV. Holo Audio Cyan 2 is a success of Holo Audio, an excellent price/quality ratio. It looks good, simple but with some enviable performance. The switch is done automatically when it senses signal on one of the inputs. The priority is the USB input, for those who use multiple inputs, the inputs that are not used at that time must be disabled. Now I want to say a few words about the Magna Hifi team. A team of specialists in the field, with a pleasant practice in communication, honest and with a lot of expertise in this field. I highly recommend purchases from this Magna Hifi online store.

I hesitated for a long time before making a decision. I already had a DMP-A6 and wondered what a Cyan2 could improve upon. Jos advised giving it a try. From the first notes, it's already clear: how much more beautiful can it sound? Much more beautiful! I'm super happy with it. Beautifully minimalist in design, and as Jos said: No unnecessary features, just pure sound quality!

The Holo Red replaces my Auralic streamer. Since I already owned a Holo Spring3 DAC, I've switched to the Red now. What can I say? I'm using DSD512 upsampling, and it works flawlessly and sound is awesome! I'm very pleased with this Red.

Been listening to the Mano Ultra mk3 with Gustard R26 for about 1.5 weeks now. What a huge difference! I really didn't expect such a huge improvement in the sound. It sounds much tighter, more detailed, deeper (3D) and more layered. I'm still surprised about it.

In other words, I'm very happy with it!

Thank you very much! Also for adjusting the I2s setting for the Gustard dac.

I am very happy with the Holo Audio Red, it sounds very good. I use the SP-DIF RCA output to my DAC.
USB cable seems a little loose in Red when the cable is inserted.

I received my Holo Red and it was a pleasant surprise to get a Roon Ready device! I use it with my Holo Cyan2 DAC and can playback DSD512 via I2S. Very good result, did not expected such an improvement over my Denafrips Arce streamer!!

Great machine - great service - I like it and that's what counts to me.
Downside: Output are high and therefore some trouble with attenuation, but manageable LED's a bit too bright for my liking

It is outstanding DAC. Sound quality is amazing. I use R28 NOS as DAC/preamp with Nelson Pass’s amplifier Aleph J connected via XLR output.
I also satisfied with service of Magna Hifi.

The DAC arrived some days ago . First parcel/outside box was a bit banged up but all is hooked up now and runs flawlessly. I must say first impressions trump my expectations/hopes by "quite a margin"!

After getting, and still enjoying, the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE dac a few years ago, I recently bought the Mano Ultra mk3 streamer, and again am very happy with my Magna Hifi purchase. Great sound for the buck and as always super service from Rob. For both purchases went to listen at their studio, for a great afternoon and professional advice. (before I used a Mac Mini M1 with Audirvana)

I am really blown away by the Cyan 2 details and clarity even when I come from the similar priced Soekris 2541 R2R DAC

The connection finally worked and the R1 NOS DAC makes already nice sounding music. It will be interesting to experience how things develop during burn in...

Today we compared this DAC with the Weiss 204 (which has a dedicated DYI power supply) and the Meitner Audio MA-3 and the results Spring Level 2 is a great DAC perfectly balanced between stage width, holography, beautiful natural vocals and holy impressive dynamics!

The Red has landed safe and sound. I've plugged it in via ethernet in/USB out, and have been a bit shocked by the results. I'm running into the May/Bliss KTE combo into Susvaras, Atriums, Verites and Calderas. On each pair I've been blown away with how much of a difference the Red has made. Coming from a Zen Stream powered by a Hypsos with high end power management, I was expecting a relatively minor but noticeable improvement, but... wow! I think it's really the blackness of the background that has changed significantly, everything is instantly more dynamic, vivid and textured.
