I heard it with an Focal Elex directly from the dac/amp, it was really sweet and focals aren't known for being sweet.can anyone confirm that the Holo Cyan tonality is sweet?

I can only think of Holo spring* with dedicated amp as linear upgrade, but can't beat the Cyan in convenience since it has a pretty damn good amp embedded.I've been enjoying my Cyan for the past several months and don't see myself selling it anytime soon because it's versatility as a standalone DAC and a combo DAC/amp unit. But I am curious to know if there are any other DAC/amp combos that are in the same tier or higher than the Cyan. Would prefer a NOS R2R DAC with a decently powerful SS amp, but I know my options are probably better if I include other DAC designs in my search.
OS is more precise. NOS is more laid-back/rolled-off.How does OS mode compare to NOS?
I'm looking for a DAC/phone amp to use with the PC. I will use it to listen to music but also for movies and gaming, in witch case a neutral sound signature might be better.
Is this what we get in OS mode?

Yes, absolutely.Agreed. Although it's not a significant roll-off. NOS just sounds a little more lush, while OS is slightly more sterile. You can definitely tell the difference when immediately switching between them, but both modes would sound great if you listened to them blind.
Yes, absolutely.
Btw, Cyan>LP. Nice combo man!
