    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    My experience with my RME mimics this as well. I will also say that I continue to play with HQPlayer on my Cyan 2 and it is creating a very wide soundstage and creating an INSANE amount of separation between instruments. Especially on my Arya Stealth's, it is expanding soundstage and creating...

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    So I've spent the past several days trying out HQPlayer with the Cyan 2. Granted, it's the first time I've every played with it and I'm not 100% sure that I've got all the settings fully locked in for the BEST presentation (I appreciate @GoldenSound sending his settings here as I'm going to try...

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    I am really interested in doing some upsampling and seeing how that sounds compared to the straight non-oversampling. I even downloaded the trial of HQPlayer last night, which I've never used in my life, to utilize it through Roon, but then I think I may have discovered that I can't do that...

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    Hey all, So I've had a little bit more of a chance to take in the Cyan 2 over the past few days and think I can offer a little more of my impressions overall. Personally, I'm a big fan of comparisons specifically because just describing subjective sound, while useful to some degree, often makes...

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    So I must be doing something wrong because that's what I was doing and it shows up as being viewable in the post in the preview, until I hit post and then it attaches it. EDIT: Apologies, I just discovered that it seems it needs to be a PNG.

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    Ok, being that I have terrible ADHD, this thing was just wimpering on my table and I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to plug it in and just hear it quick. Pulled out the RME and plugged this guy in and gave it a quick 10-minute listen to scratch the itch. Immediate impressions: DAMN!! Again...

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    Hi all, So out of nowhere I received a notification from DHL yesterday that I would be receiving a package from a source I did not recognize. I have no international deliveries that I could think of so I wondered if this could by the Cyan 2, but received no notification ahead of time from...

    No movement on mine. Still says “processing.” Checking daily even though I know I need to be patient. Hopefully there’s at least some review units going out soon.

    Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

    Just placed my order today, but no idea when it's expected to come in yet. Hopefully soon. Unfortunately, I've never really heard any other R2R dacs to compare so I won't be able to do that, but I've had an RME ADI-2 for the past few years so this should be an interesting change for me and I'll...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    Ok, that was my suspicion. I appreciate it. Is the commonly accepted fix just to turn it off and back on again like I've been doing?

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    Hey all, brand new owner of a set of Dune Focal Bathys as of yesterday and I wanted to ask a couple quick questions. First off, the headphones are wonderful. I have a pair of Focal Clear OG's which were my first foray into high-end headphones and I loved them for years before moving to Arya's. I...

    Any love for the Activo CT10?

    My CT10 is at work, so I'll need to wait to remind myself of the steps, but I can post them once I do.
