Holo Audio Cyan 2.

what "reasonable" means to you?

Sorry, wrong question, wrong grammar.. How long did it take to stabilize?

Jo from Wildism recommended 400hs of burn in that's around 17 days. How long did your Cyan 2 had been stabilizing ?

I use Daphile which is Linux-based. It runs native DSD with no problem. DoP refers to Linux absolutely stock form. Any audio-optimized Linux operating unit will run DSD natively.

In my unit it's not working like that. If I2S is used, turning on USB doesn't switch it to USB until I2S is off. No debate is necessary as it's easy just to try. I got Ricable Dedalus 0,5m. At this point I can't say which input may be best for me: I2S from Gustard U18 or USB directly from...

del.

Order from Wildism audio.

I got it from amazon.com. It was shipped to Poland in one week, try there maybe.

I got Blue Jeans Cable. Many people recommended it as reasonably priced solution. It somehow sounds better then HDMI 8k certified Direkt Kabel.

Should I try premium USB cable instead of generic one to properly compare I2S thru DDC vs USB?

At this point, my short experience that I2S from DDC is superior to USB in every way except bass speed. There my be something more cause Coax has galvanic isolation too. There's Pulse transformer to do the job.

Yes it does. In my setup music seams faster than was on Pegasus. That increases foot tumping factor.

Yes it is.

Just turned on my Cyan 2 for the first time and wow, this is not just minor upgrade from Pegasus.

It's faster then I expected so my excitement level is high but I'm still in patient mode.

Just received news from Schiit-EU that my unit will be shipped in first week of May.

That's interesting. I have SF-E tracking only.

Did they send it to you by SF-Express? In my case it's been 10 days since pickup and it's still in transit :/

Has Schiit sent you amp eventually ?

In fact there are to opamps more: OPA1612. These are located on the bottom of the picture you shared. OPA1612 is top of the line, modern opamp designed specifically for audio purposes. This is very interesting topology. I wish I could take a look on schematics of this output stage.

Yeap, that's it.

This is not right. 5534 are single opamps means that they have one output. From the picture you can see there are 2 opamps per channel that would suggest both are used constantly for plus and negative symmetrical (balanced) signal. Pl us and negative signals go for XLR output, plus signal only...

This is good point but on the other hand if it's not dead on arrival there is nothing to break for years. I got a lot of gear from hifigo and never had any issues.

Actually no, price is better in HKD even with all taxes included. I live in Poland, I guess they could ship anywhere in EU.
