Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150

Ok just one question, if I get a mojo, is it going to come with the cable I need to connect with n3? If not where can I buy a decent cable without breaking the bank?

This will be my end game! My next purchase after the mojo will be meze 99 classics. I hope the mojo will be a noticeable improvement. Obviously it's not like the n3 sound is lacking, just the mojo has such a good rep.

Thanks, Scott.

i was wondering why the Cayin Aliexpress store does not ship to India. Would anyone know what options are available in India to get the N3? @Andykong

Ended up cancelling the order as they needed tons of extra information because it's an international order (UK to The Netherlands). Even though i provided all information correct when ordering and even had to input an secure code of my cc

I think i'll try Audiogarden instead.

The store is not up and working as of now AFAIK. Andy will update once it is so. Right now it probably does not ship anywhere.

Got mine from Audiogarden @ 149 euros, also to the Netherlands. No extra information needed, payment through Paypal.

Cheers mate, i've already contacted you before by PM

 I should not have waited for Advancedmp3players to get stock again. I've mailed Audiogarden just to be sure they really have it in stock. If they have i'll be ordering from them.

Right, that was you..sorry about that. Too much partying in the nineties I guess

. On a positive note: very glad I went for the N3. Does everything I need on the go with my IEM's and at home with the headphones. Versatile and capable little player this is. Only little niggle I have is the flashing screen when switching tracks, but that is only minor really..

That unfortunate....mine is on the way already, probably I will get it on Monday according to FedEx tracking information. I have paid it through PayPal and had no problem but I live in London, no idea how they deal with international orders.

It's normal for them to do these security checks. Says so in the FAQs for international orders, in attempts to prevent fraud.
I didn't mind, I pre ordered and had to wait for the stock anyway :blush:

  I am still waiting on an answer to this as well...
 
The coax output is digital, the question is just whether or not the audio is processed first on the N3 before being sent as digital out (probably as pcm?) via coax... or also via usb. When I use the usb-coax cable, I can still control volume on the n3, still change the gain and hear a difference, still adjust the equalizer and hear a difference, so I would image its not bit perfect. With usb to the mojo, I cannot change the volume or gain on the n3 (well I can, it just doesnt affect the volume on the mojo), but it seems as though I can still adjust the equalizer and hear a difference. So I am not sure what exactly is going on exactly. It still sends the audio with the proper sample rate for both though as the sample rate ball on the mojo changes colors properly.

Well I haven't got a answer on this yet either was hoping Andykong would comment. I have one coming from music teck i guess if it doesn't work out i can always sell it. Maybe the soon to be out Shanling M2s will fill the bill.

I fully understand their fraud concerns but the problem for me is that i have a cc that is not tied to my bank or address. The account only shows my custombernumber and my spending limit. Even in a seperate section my personal information is partially scrambled due to privacy and security reasons. So i cannot screenshot the infomation (proof of address and last 4 digits of cc number) the shop needs. They do not accept a photo of the physical card which some shops do require.

It's the first time i have ordered online in which a shop needed this specific kind of check. Some shops do require you to input the mastercard secure code and this case i also had to but it was still not enough.

The usb-c to coaxial cable, purchased from musiteck via Amazon.com to connect the n3 to my mojo is defective.  The signal is suddenly interrupted producing loud cracks that I’m afraid might damage my meze 99 drivers and my own hearing. I’m looking forward to seeing another short cable offer from cayin or another producer.
