Product Description
The sequel to the Yulong Canary DAC/amp, the Canary II sees several improved features and a few returning favorites. The biggest change is in the chips, where the Canary II showcases an upgraded XU208 chipset with support for Native DSD512 and PCM 768KHz decoding, as well as ESS's well-regarded 9038Q2M DAC chip for improved digital-to-audio conversion Read More

This DAC/AMP gets my highest recommendation. I have the first version and it sounds exceptional for the price. The aluminum enclosure is very carefully CMC'd, volume knob feels high quality and there is barely any tracking problems at low volume. I heard this updated model not long ago at a friend's house. Playing the same song, the updated model is clearly more dynamic and lively than the first gen. It murders the Modi 3 Magni 3 combo, and is clearly a step up from Geshelli dac+amp combo. It doesn't deliver as much power as those, but the sound is much more fluid/organic. That plus the sleek design makes it a winner in my book.
If I have to nitpick I'd say the top panel isn't as attractive as the first gen just because the first gen has that elegant curve, but for the manufacturer it probably helps simplify things.

I have the first version of this DAC/Amp. It sounded quite good and was super versatile as a desktop unit. Unfortunately it developed a hum on the power supply side of the system and I didn't have the perseverance to send it back to China for repair even though the company offered to have it repaired for me. I sort of want to give it another shot. Every codec, optical input, super musical, and a splash of warmth from the Class A circuit, it was a winner.

doesn't make any sense that you wouldn't upload pictures of the back of the unit

Life is too short to live with unattractive components--on second thought, unattractive anything!

postwarscarsWell...maybe; but I have to warn you--I have some socialization/anxiety/phobia issues.
Nothing serious, you understand--and I am in therapy!
