That's very unfortunate - have you had the option to test other inputs to at least use it to some degree it.

No, unfortunately USB is my only option right now.

But what actually prompted you to know something is wrong?

Obviously 'low volume' issue but is it REALLY obvious, like abnormally low volume?

Like hardly any volume?

Would be nice if you can share so others can listen if similar for them

Basically I installed the newest (correct) firmware without realising it was already installed. After this double installation the Cyan 2 is not receiving signal, although it 'appears' perfectly both on my computer and streamer. I haven't had any low volume issues or anything like that.

I managed to get an optical cable and in a couple of days I will get a coax cable as well. The Cyan 2 works as it should through optical, so I presume coax will be fine too. Something just got cocked up with the USB module/firmware, which is strange as all I did was reinstalling the latest fw.

I wonder if Magna screwed up here by putting a firmware online for Cyan 2, when in fact it is a firmware for Spring possibly

Since there isn't one on Kitsune (Cyan2 is a new product, so makes sense there should not be a firmware available for download)

Generally you only put a firmware up when there is a new update

No idea. The file name and fw number seemed correct, but of course the content could have been different. I will update the thread once we know more in a week or two.

Yes file name might be correct but only Magna offer this download

Looks like an error on their part to put this online

If not an error, would be on Kitsune website too

Anyway keep us posted

I changed the cable to a better one and it is plugged to a normal power socket. Do you recommend a better solution?

There's a linear power supply upgrade for the DMP-A6, you can look it up and apparently it improves the sonic qualities of this streamer, slightly, it's not a night and day difference, but it's something.

I know, but I don't want to lose my warranty for a very small improvement

Ok so after using Cyan2 for 2 months, here are my quick thoughts:
- sounds good
- looks good
- lack of a power button is a mistake
- lack of a input selector is a mistake
- bright leds on a front are a mistake

Hope it will help someone in decision

I plan to keep it hidden in a drawer, powered on, and out of sight at all times, so it might be perfect for me lol

Not a Cyan but my Gustard just came in. Woohoo

Manufacturer recommend leaving it on 24/7. Only intend to use it 100% of the time connected by usb

Nothing that a good old rag over the led lights can't solve.

 

[alxw0w]

Yes yes I know, leds could be solved by just a black tape, powering on/off it's not a big problem you could just leave it always on, same with source just unplug cable that you are not using....
It's a crappy design choice that's all.

Yep, it's a pretty Spartan design but it works for me, I always leave my DAC and Amp on, don't want to power cycle them to much.

Any recommendations of video reviews of this amp? I think I watched them all at this point.
