Just some quick comments on 5.7 adding DAC Correction to the matrix corrections I use with my Cyan 2. Originally, tried Cyan 2 at 512 and 256 with EC Super/Gauss Long on desktop and didn't find a big difference so I stuck with 256 for an easier load. Just loaded 5.7 and added DAC Correction and now hear a much bigger improvement at 512. Everything sounds better and that's where I'll stay for now. Anyone have similar results? Thanks, Jussi. CJH

Still trying to solve my Qobuz problem. Just updated to 5.4.2 and as expected when I tried Qobuz in Client it asked me to sign-in so once I'm in and try to play all I get is their album cover. Am I missing something simple. Do I need to download their Qobuz App for Windows or their Qobuz Downloader for windows? Would really like to get this working or I guess cancel my subscription. CJH

Here's my early feedback on the Cyan 2. Current DACs on hand are a Topping D90 (AKM) and a Holo Cyan (DSD only version) for the past 2-3 years. Both of these DACs sound best with DSD512 at 44.1k, so this is the majority of my listening. The Cyan basically retired my D90 to storage. I received my new Cyan 2 yesterday and gave it a quick listen for about 3 hours of DSD 512 ASDM7EC-Super512fs+ at 48k with Sinc-Gauss hires. Yes, the Cyan 2 retains the relaxed analog sound of the original model with improved extended high frequencies. It also has a deeper soundstage with better layering of instruments. For this alone, the new Cyan 2 is a winner and worth the price of admission. But of course, it does even more. On day 2, I tried PCM 1411/1512 with Sinc L filter and the sound was quite good (with an easy load on my server--5%). It had very good detail, tonal balance and mid-bass punch. It still lacked the soundstage depth and layering of good DSD. I also heard a slight lack of naturalness, ease or finesse. It was just more in-you-face than the DSD. I then tried DSD upsampled to 1024 at 44.1 or 48k. Filter was Sinc-Gauss hires with AHM7EC5L modulator. This was excellent with the best sonic qualities so far. FYI: All of these were done using a PC with 10850K and no GPU with no dropouts. I have lots of experimenting to do while the unit breaks-in, but so far, I am quite pleased with my purchase. CJH

I currently use the Cyan (DSD version), so am looking forward to any/many improvements. CJH

Anxious for your feedback. Mine purchased Dec. 2--still waiting. CJH

Try downsampling with trial version of HQPlayer. CJH

Yes, empty playlist with a large picture of the album cover over most of the page. CJH

Miska: Yes, I got the album covers but when I click on them--no songs, just the cover? CJH

Have used Qobuz off and on in the past on HQPlayer desktop (Win 11 Pro). Tried it the other day and it comes up in Client but, if I search say Beatles, I get a very limited selection (2 or 3) and when clicked on they don't actually come up for play, like it's just an album cover picture. Tried a few others like Eagles, Joni Mitchell, etc... and get the same problem. Account is active and plays from Qobuz app, but that's not what we want. Any help? CJH

Why no standard output of 2V & 4V balanced? CJH
