try fad iem super sensitive
My Cayin i5 with headphones Dunu 2000j (8 Om) and Focal Spirit Professional (32 Om) is playing great, the noise is within tolerance.
Sorry for the quality of photo, they are snap shot from mobile phone at factory floor.
The replacement work is fairly simple, but be reminded that you need to buy the battery and the carbon fiber back plate when you change the battery, the back plate is glued to the player, so there is 90% chance that you will break it while open up the player.
From the obvious shortcomings noticed:
- Search (magnifying glass) is only possible for the title song. Search by album or artist does not occur.
- When listening through a DLNA server (J.River 22 version, 24-bit DAC PCM) is not working option "download" folder in CayinDownload
- Many small defects Localization into Russian. (I am from Moscow)
- Several owners, and including myself, have noticed not entirely smooth ride volume wheel, every 15-20 divisions, it tends to slow down (become heavier) or to accelerate. Maybe he has an easy "eight".

I partly overcome the DSD file crashing and I found the cause to be cover art.
Now the DSD files do not have any picture in them at all and plays as normal.
I found the following will cause DSD file playback to crash on the player for my case.
1. Embedded cover art or if album folder contains a picture file folder.jpg (These pictures are not big and I tried 200x200 pixel size and still cause crash)
2. Whenever I switch to VU meter viewing. Previously I already observed that VU meter does not move at all for DSD files. It showed normal for FLAC.

On a different subject dignis decided not to reply on my enquiry whether they intend to make a case for the i5.
I am still awaiting my OEM leather case although it had been posted from Hongkong already 6 days ago.
Hopefully will receive it by tomorrow. Seems 2016 postal services have switchd back to delivery by donkey carts...
There is no plausible reason why an item from HKG is not delivered in Singapore within 3 days.
yes, have seen that other case. Nice that it can be customized. Not too sure about the quality, looking forward to your impressions.
Flipcase covering the screen might not be the worst thing to have for the i5.
(1) the interesting part, I have DSD64 and SACD-ISO in my collections, and I used 1000 x 1000 album art, named as Folder.jpg as well, but they works fine in my i5, I can display the album art, and i5 can play them alright. So it is very strange that the album art will cause the player to crash in your case. Nevertheless this is very helpful information, and it might provide some insight to the software debugging process. We shall explore the system from this perspective, please keep me informed if there is any change.
I appeal to the representatives of the Cayin.
Make please in the next firmware is the ability for the long tap on the folder to select "play folder". I highly recommend. For example I have a root "Music" folder, in it two folders "FLAC" and "MP3" (Yes, not all songs can be found in lossless format). Each of them have folders with albums and tracks. If I want at the moment that the player lost all the songs in the folder "FLAC" , now I have no choice. I have to go inside this folder and choose a specific album or files.
