L’ultima offerta HoloAudio è il DAC Cyan 2. Siamo abbastanza orgogliosi del Cyan 2 e fiduciosi nel dire che pensiamo che lo troverete anche più impressionante. Si tratta di un vero e proprio DAC ladder a resistori discreti bilanciati con supporto PCM e DSD racchiusi in un ingombro ridotto di spazio sulla scrivania. Il Cyan 2 ha diverse tecnologie “a cascata” dai suoi fratelli maggiori e siamo entusiasti di presentare questo prodotto a un prezzo più accessibile.
Cyan 2 “青2”, un DAC di nuova generazione di rete di resistori completamente discreti (comunemente noti come R2R). Rispetto al suo predecessore Ciano “青”, il Ciano 2 “青2” presenta i seguenti miglioramenti:
– Dotato di rete R2R e rete di resistori vettoriali a gradini allo stesso tempo. La rete R2R viene utilizzata per la conversione digitale-analogica primaria del flusso PCM e la rete di resistori a passo vettoriale viene utilizzata per la conversione digitale-analogica primaria del flusso DSD.
– La nuova generazione di tecnologia de-glitch è in grado di fornire un’ampia gamma di de-glitch senza aumentare il rumore di fondo e altri effetti negativi.
• Basato su questa nuova generazione di tecnologia, Cyan 2 “青2” può fornire >106db SINAD e >127db gamma dinamica.
• USB supporta frequenze di campionamento fino a DSD1024 e PCM 1.536M.
• L’interfaccia USB utilizza un firmware proprietario a bassissima latenza, una trasmissione dati altamente affidabile, misurazioni ideali del modello di occhio USB che contribuisce a prestazioni 2-4 volte superiori rispetto al firmware ufficiale.

INGRESSO HDMI I2S
nota: i2s NON è la stessa cosa di HDMI Audio/Video. NON collegare MAI dispositivi HDMI ai prodotti i2s come HoloAudio Cyan2. Assicurarsi che sia compatibile con i2s o IIS con una configurazione pin out compatibile.
nota: il pin out i2s è specifico HoloAudio. Simile a PSaudio, tuttavia, i canali sinistro e destro vengono scambiati per i contenuti DSD.
Nota: i2s non è sostituibile a caldo, quindi non collegare o scollegare mai i cavi i2s quando i dispositivi sono accesi. Spegnere sempre entrambi i dispositivi prima di collegare/scollegare il cavo. E la lunghezza ideale per il cavo HDMI i2s è di circa 0,3-0,6 m o la dimensione comune è di 0,5 m. In generale, i cavi di tipo flatwire sono più ideali dei cavi di tipo round wire per applicazioni con protocollo i2s.
DSD supportato in modo nativo
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. Attualmente supportato su MAC (DOP) e Linux (DOP) e Windows/PC (Direct Native e 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”!
John (proprietario verificato) –
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.
