There could be a few minor cosmetic tweaks, but according to Cayin - this is as official as it gets

Hmm, it has been so quiet in this thread.... 

Perhaps this will WAKE everybody UP!!!!   Only 111 x 64 x 16.4 (mm) in Gold or Gray

Looking good!

Eager to give a listen

Looking good! Can't wait to hear more specifics, especially a tentative release date and expected price.

Yes, I received the same photos from Cayin direct. Product info updated in post #2 of the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/771208/cayin-n5-dap-rumours-and-discussion-thread#post_11680622

Is it just me or does the N5 look like the Hidizs AP100?
 
Mmm... personally not the biggest fan of the looks but we'll see how it sounds!

Looks like some of the Hifiman players to me (HM-802, HM-901), minus their volume adjuster at the top.

that was the other thing I was thinking of. With a very AK-esque back side.

that's what i felt as well.
i don't like how it looks, N6 looked way cool.

Haha... Yes

Not too fussy about looks. Just worried that the ridges near the screen might collect dust. While I like smooth backs, I won't complain if the design allows for a bigger battery! 
 
A friend remarked that the N6 put him off since it looked like a "front loading washing machine". I quite liked it though! If the balanced output can help retain the N6's sense of space I'd be thrilled!

Sexy back.
Not so sexy front.
 
Three outputs? LO, 3.5mm HO and 2.5mm HO?
Any word on the volume control?

N5 111 x 64 x 16.4 (mm)
DX90 100 x 64 x 17 (mm)
Fiio X3ii 97 x 58 × 16 (mm)

way smaller than N6.
