La dernière offre HoloAudio est le Cyan 2 DAC. Nous sommes très fiers du Cyan 2 et confiants de dire que nous pensons que vous le trouverez également très impressionnant. Il s’agit d’un véritable DAC à échelle de résistances discrètes équilibrée avec prise en charge PCM et DSD dans un espace de bureau réduit. Le Cyan 2 dispose de plusieurs technologies de « ruissellement » de ses grands frères et nous sommes ravis de présenter ce produit à un prix plus abordable.
Cyan 2 « 青2 », Un DAC de nouvelle génération de réseau de résistances entièrement discret (communément appelé R2R). Par rapport à son prédécesseur le Cyan « 青 », le Cyan 2 « 青2 » présente les améliorations suivantes :
• Equipé d’un réseau R2R et d’un réseau de résistances vectorielles pas en même temps. Le réseau R2R est utilisé pour la conversion numérique-analogique primaire du flux PCM, et le réseau de résistances à pas vectoriel est utilisé pour la conversion numérique-analogique primaire du flux DSD.
• La nouvelle génération de technologie de déglitch peut fournir un déglitch de pleine amplitude sans augmenter le bruit de fond et d’autres effets indésirables.
• Basé sur cette nouvelle génération de technologie, Cyan 2 « 青2 » peut fournir >une plage dynamique de 106 db SINAD et >127 db.
• L’USB prend en charge des taux d’échantillonnage allant jusqu’à DSD1024 et PCM 1,536 M.
• L’interface USB utilise un micrologiciel propriétaire avec une latence ultra-faible, une transmission de données très fiable, des mesures idéales du modèle oculaire USB qui contribuent à des performances 2 à 4 fois supérieures à celles du micrologiciel officiel.

ENTRÉE HDMI I2S
Remarque : i2s n’est PAS la même chose que HDMI Audio/Video. Ne branchez JAMAIS d’appareils HDMI sur les produits i2s tels que HoloAudio Cyan2. Assurez-vous qu’il est compatible i2s ou IIS avec une configuration de brochage compatible.
Remarque : le brochage de l’i2s est une spécification HoloAudio. Similaire à PSaudio, cependant, les canaux gauche et droit sont échangés pour le contenu DSD.
Remarque : l’i2S n’est pas remplaçable à chaud, il ne faut donc jamais brancher ou débrancher les câbles i2S lorsque les appareils sont sous tension. Éteignez toujours les deux appareils avant de brancher/débrancher le câble. Et la longueur idéale pour le câble HDMI i2s est d’environ 0,3 à 0,6 m ou la taille commune est de 0,5 m. D’une manière générale, les câbles de type à fil plat sont plus idéaux que les câbles à fil rond pour les applications de protocole i2s.
DSD pris en charge nativement
HoloAudio is the world’s first to support DSD natively on Resistor Ladder DAC, so far the only one. This is not the DSD converted to PCM before digital-analog converter, but directly by the discrete components of the DSD digital to analog converter. Supported currently on MAC (DOP)and Linux (DOP), and Windows/PC (Direct Native and DOP). Please note, the word ‘R2R’ is the name of a kind of architecture of resistor ladders. This architecture requires less resistors yet still is capable to deliver more than acceptable performance. Most DACs in the industry use this architecture. The DSD module of Spring3 does not use R2R architecture for the DSD, more specifically it uses a very specific architecture which is optimized to perform DSD to analog. So to be entirely accurate the DSD part of Spring is using resistor ladders, not R2R..

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!

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

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 »!

Exceptionally balanced and steadfast across all frequencies; impeccable discernment among diverse sounds and musical styles; I adore the effortless switching capability, facilitated by USB streaming and TV via Toslink connection. Magna Hifi delivers top-notch service!

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

I have the Cyan 2 for several weeks – it’s nice sounding dac I’m enjoying it.

High resolving DAC for the fraction of the price! This DAC preforms almost like an true endgame DAC. The body of the sound this dac makes is verry rich in detail and accurate. Spacial presentation is really good and if you use DSD the soundstage becomes even bigger and you get even more detail retrieval! You won’t be needing any replacement for the coming years if you buy this DAC. Oversampling is really good on this DAC.
Its also compatible with ASIO driver from holoaudio. Im verry impressed with th sound of the DAC.
