Holo audio Cyan DAC+Headamp Impressions thread

[Erikdayo]

Has anyone compared the Cyan PCM to the Spring level 1? I've been looking at both lately, and I'm not sure which to go with. I do like the smaller footprint of the Cyan and the lower price, but the lack of linear compensation is concerning. The DSD limitations on the Cyan PCM model don't have any impact on which I try. 

 

There aren't many impressions of the Cyan PCM version available so I assume it's hasn't been very readily available so far.

 

I am currently using a Metrum Onyx and am very happy with it. Curiosity is getting to me.
