You need to unplug the cable so that the other source is selected, just stopping the playback is not enough - I tried with USB and Coax: Coax activated only when I unplugged the USB cable and vice versa - USB activated only when I unplugged the Coax cable. However, I haven't tried the other...

I would add that white LEDs are too bright for me in Cyan2, as I sleep in the room where the DAC sits I had to cover the LEDs with something in the night. But that's a very minor complain with regard to the great sound of the dac.

I switched from Gustard R26 to Cyan 2, it's hard to the tell the difference as the R26 is already sold. But from what I recall the Cyan2 maybe a bit warmer, but I used the R26 mainly in the OS mode and as people mentioned already the audio memory is very short so I wouldn't rely on it.

Yep, it proves the issue seems to be related to other app accessing the ASIO device (Roon in that case).

I had this issue of PCM output instead of DSD occasionally when using HQP from Roon (it got resolved after I closed Roon client, re-started HQP desktop), when using HQP desktop/client to play songs - seems to fine, DSD output all the time.

What settings do you use for "Oversampling 1x", "Oversampling Nx"? Tried those settings with i7 Gen11 CPU with null output (now waiting for the Cyan2 delivery), stresses the CPU up to 60% (have no nVidia GPU), that's fine but the cooler is pretty loud. What if I use DSD128? Is quality drop from...

Does that all mean that a regular PC with HQPlayer is the better source than a 1K Linux streamer without upsampling when used with the NOS dac like this Cyan? Is the upsampling done by e.g. Roon substantially worse than HQPlayer?

There is a used unit on sale I can buy, the owner says it was bought in 2019, seems to be one of the first batches. Can there be any degradation in performance of capacitors, other components in 5 years term that I might be aware of?

After upgrading to v1.43 each time the R26 is turned on its MAC address is randomized so Roon recognizes it as a new device. How to turn this MAC address randomization off? I guess I will need to login via SSH and change some configurations on the unit?

What's still missing in this update - ability to auto-create playlists for mpd for an sd-card (this seems to exist on 2Go), ability to refresh mpd database after new music upload (still need to use external clients), ability to switch WiFi off fully and completely without its restart during next...

As advised I reached out to Chord support, they told me to change the DSD bitperfect switch. I set it off, set digital volume of Poly in the GoFigure app to 100% and the issue is almost gone for me, no irritating background noise. Have a couple of other questions: 1) Is there a way to keep...

For sure, I'm not charging Poly during playback.

I use Poly+Mojo2, when I play FLAC files from a SD card the background is not completely silent, there is light but audible noise like buzz, especially on start/next track When I stream via Roon or via AirPlay on WiFi the background is much darker with the same music. I tried turning on the...
