Cyan 2 is an impressive accomplishment by Jeff Zhu and Tim Conner.

Curious, do you upsample using HQPlayer @MLegend?

@ChaChaRealSmooth Nah, I don't use any upsampling. I'm just referring to how the yggdrasil upsamples internally. I use jriver on pc for local files and to route all of windows audio through it for wasapi functionality.

What's the difference for you?

@roshambo123 To me, upsampled sound gives you more "air" and perceived clarity/treble extension which also gives the perception of a larger soundstage/headstage, but at the expense of treble timbre, smoothness, body, and tactility. NOS just sounds more natural to me, especially when it comes to body and tactility.

@roshambo123 A hyperbolic short summary would be Yggrasil A2 -Listening to a simulated live performance Cyan 2 - Listening to the actual recording. The Yggdrasil is awesome and is a technically better dac, but the Cyan 2 (NOS) is simply closer to my preference.
