    It's very good. Super clean, fast, very resolving, excellent stage. Does a better job of driving more demanding cans than the PCM Cyan's built-in amp, while not actually being rated as more powerful. I'll have a full review up before the end of the week.

    I look forward to it! Your review of the PCM Cyan was extremely accurate. I’m rather enjoying it and it is a wonderful all-in-one.

    Glad you're enjoying it! I try not to talk bollocks when it's other people's money at stake. Are you listening in NOS or OS mode? With or without HQPlayer?

    NOS mode only just using JRMC with red book rips. I have zero DSD content, so I got the PCM-only version.

    You can still play DSD on the PCM version - it'll just automatically convert it on the fly (not that there's a good reason to do so). Are you doing any upsampling in JRMC or just letting it play natively? (Just curious, I liked it best native).

    Native, I’m trying to keep it simple for now. I’m new to NOS and I really like how the Cyan sounds with Jazz and Bluegrass.
