I have heard both, though for limited amounts of time. I was not very impressed by the Cayin for the price. It is a fine amp, but it doesn't seem like $900 worth of amp to me. In fact it sounds very similar to many tube amps that go for only 5-600, such as the woo 6, some of the little dot series, etc.
On the other hand, the zana is incredible. It drove every can that I heard it with to a level above what I had heard before. Simply great and one of the best amps that I have heard, but you should listen to uncle erik and head down to LAX.
