Thanks for the offer James but I needed the same model due to the parts I use.
I obtained one close by and all is well and bliss.

Thanks again for the offer James.

Received a generous gift from another, so I can compare the original to my upgraded dac.

cheers

Let us know what you think, Steve. By the way, I really love my Holo Cyan2 dac. What an excellent dac and a great bargain for the money 🎶

I compared the original Modi 2 and my upgraded one and no contest.
Polypropylene capacitors in the analog power supply clearly elevate it to a
top notch position.

Are you thinking upgrade Cyan2 analog stage?

cheers

Glad you were able to confirm that. The Cyan2 is a quality piece, very compact and very heavy and built like a tank. I would not want anyone to mess with it.

With a different piece like the Starkrimson Ultra amp, there's lots of room within the chassis. So having someone mod that would not be a problem for me.
