Holo Audio has introduced its new Cyan 2 DAC:
“Introducing Cyan2, the pinnacle of audio precision and clarity. Immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled sound quality with this high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A little giant. Utilizing cutting-edge R2R discrete ladder DAC technology, Cyan2 delivers an authentic and true-to-source audio experience. Say goodbye to oversampling artifacts and embrace the purest form of sound reproduction.
Designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts, Cyan2 supports non-oversampling, providing a pristine audio signal that stays true to the original recording. Elevate your listening experience to new heights with DSD 1024x support, ensuring every nuance and detail of your favorite tracks is faithfully preserved.
Upgrade your audio setup with Cyan2 and rediscover the art of sound. Immaculate craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art technology, making Cyan2 the go-to choice for those who demand audio excellence.”
The newest HoloAudio offering is the Cyan 2 DAC. We are quite proud of the Cyan 2 and confident in saying we think you will find it most impressive as well. It’s a true balanced discrete resistor ladder DAC with both PCM and DSD support packed into a smaller footprint of desktop space. The Cyan 2 has several “trickle down” technologies from it’s bigger brothers and we are excited to introduce this product at a more affordable price.
Overview
Cyan 2 “青2”, A new generation DAC of fully discrete resistor network (commonly known as R2R). Relative to its predecessor the Cyan “青”, the Cyan 2 “青2” has the following improvements:
• Equipped with R2R network and vector step resistor network at the same time. The R2R network is used for primary digital-to-analog conversion of the PCM stream, and the vector step resistor network is used for primary digital-to-analog conversion of the DSD stream.
• The new generation of de-glitch technology can provide full-amplitude de-glitch without increasing the noise floor and other adverse effects.
• Based on this new generation of technology, Cyan 2 “青2” Can provide >106db SINAD and >127db dynamic range.
• USB supports sampling rates up to DSD1024 and PCM 1.536M.
• The USB interface uses proprietary firmware with ultra-low latency, a highly reliable data transmission, ideal USB eye pattern measurements that contributes to 2-4 times higher performance than official firmware.
Other Notes:
• Functions include: Auto Input Selection – LED indicator lights for each sample rate type as well as for input selection.
• Cyan 2 does not have buttons or remote control.
