Holo Audio Cyan 2

Yes, in order to get the best sound out of it, it needs to be left on 24/7.

 

Anyone tried running dsd out of a SACD player into the Cyan 2?

 

It was recommended by the distributor whom I bought it from to keep it on 24/7. And I have been doing just that until in recent weeks, i bought a new preamp and had to be turning the cyan 2 on and off pretty often, to incorporate the subs and connecting other components to the preamp…

it really doesn’t make that much of a difference vs 24/7 on…

having said that I still keep it 24/7 now that I am done with the preamp setup

 

My only concern is longevity. Will the DAC "ware out" faster if I leave it on vice only turn it on when I want to use it.

 

So, I returned the Yggdrasil and have a Cyan2 on order. It sounds like they take a bit of time to make/ship them. So, for now, I will be using my Bifrost 2 with NOS.

 

That’s a good old argument whether turning it on/off will yield longer life span vs leaving it consistently on.

Only god knows the answer to this one

I know I will be selling mine in a few months so I won’t be able to witness that
