Love me DDHifi! Just ordered this stand. Does the HA-3A fit on top with the Cyan 2 on the bottom? That's my goal haha
Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC

- Start date
Yeah.Are you in the states?
Where did you order from?
How much did it cost?
Size?
Thanks
Aliexpress, message them for black.
$99.99 for the base, $99.99 for the 12cm tall level.
HS300 is 30cm x 28cm.
Cyan 2 DAC is exactly 30cm x 20cm.
HA-3A Amp is 306mm x 260mm.
Ah, thanks.
Yeah, the HS300 is too small for both my Denafrips Pontus DAC and Artemis headphone amp - 320 x 330 x 70 mm = 12.5 x 12.9 x 2.7 inches

Well you're in luck!
They also make the HS400, which is 40cm x 30cm!
It is $129.99 per part, however.
Yeah, I just looked at the HS550 which is more to my needs, but that's 185 per shelf, so needing 3, that's $555 + whatever other charges. Still a heck of a lot cheaper than the Quadraspire SVT Rack I looked at, but still far more than what I was looking to spend.
Anyway, I got this Monolith modular shelf system for $180 from Amazon....
But both those Quadraspire and DDHifi racks are so cool, and why I wouldn't mind having one. The cost, though....

I still haven't seen a lot of impressions on the Cyan 2 and comparison to other units, so I could use your input.
I recently bought a Gustard R26, and have given it maybe 300 hours of burn in. However, I am still not convinced it is right for my tastes. It soundstages tremendously, with good separation and layering - which are all high on my list of priorities. But I find it a bit thin sounding, without a lot of texture. Images simply don't have the weight that I would normally associate with R2R.
For any of you who have heard both, how would the Cyan 2 compare? I am still within my returns period, so I am wondering if the Cyan 2 is more of what I am looking for.
Thank you!

I’m curious, what DAC were you using before the R26? Did it have that body you were expecting?

Musician Draco, and yes, it has starkly defined images and its notes have texture. But its soundstage is relatively small and it is missing some resolution.
You just got one shelf?

No, two. I had the U18 on the bottom and the Cyan2 on top.
The Cyan2 convinced me so much that I returned it and ordered the Spring3 - so I don't need the rack anymore, just put the Cayin on the base,because it looks good.
Yeah, those look really nice, but at near $200 ($185) bucks a shelf (for the bigger size)... I don't know.
Plus, for me, with hot amps, I worry about heat buildup. Another reason I was looking at the Quadraspire SVT Rack, with the slots in it, but that's even more expensive.
And the end of the day, I'll end of with one or the other somewhere down the road, but certainly not in the immediate future.
Peace

As @TheRealDz with Gustard R26, i am also finding the soekris 2541 to sound a little bit thin and i'm considering replacing it with Cyan 2. Any comments on Cyan 2 regarding the thinness/body & texture are very welcome.
