Can somebody please confirm the output voltage of the cayin c5 dac. 
I'm hoping it will be higher than 2.1v.

is it true the c5 dac output power is only 300mW + 300mW (32ohm load) compared to 800mW + 800mW (32ohm load) for the c5 stand alone amp?

so it's true the output power of the c5 dac is significantly lower than the c5?

If so I can believe it 

. I am going to cancel my order on the c5 dac I just bought today then straight away.

Yes, absolutely. It's more aimed at IEMs and medium hard too drive headphones. Also it's battery life is more than double the one of the C5.

What's the difference between the original c5 and rev 2?

In Rev 2 we have added one cloth bag in order to offer conveience when you are using the amplifier...

So isn't the unit suppose to be fully charged after 4 hours?
I'm currently charger it for the first time right out of the box and after 4.5 hours the light indicator is switching between blinking on low power to all 3 dots.
Surely it shouldn't take this long to charger a measly 1000mah battery when my lg g3 is 3000mah and takes only 3 hours tops using the same charger.

The capacity of the lithium battery in C5 is 1000mAh / 11.1V, this is actually THREE 1000mAH/3.7V battery connected in series, so in reality, the capacity of the C5 battery is the same as your LG G3 rated at 3000 mAH/3.7V.

Taking FOUR hours to fully charge a C5 is actually quite normal, this is actually our proposed figure in C5 specification.

It depends on the intensity delivered by the charger. It takes 4 hours on a 2A charge. It takes way more on a computer USB.

Damn I guess this makes me the 4th unlucky one to have a dead battery.http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Q9FZ2YZYUSUD/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00OAPDHDI&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=172282&store=electronics#wasThisHelpful

Quite shocking really for cayin to despatch units before checking thoroughly. And to think I was lucky to receive it in the post just in time for the weekend. Now I'm not sure whether to request for another unit or a refund or buy another amp. Maybe I will take the ibasso p4 cos the long reliability of the c5 is questionable.

OK!! battery is showing signs of life!
Having plugged into a 2a charger for a further two hours, the low and medium led is now flashing. If I unplug the unit, the led indicators medium charge while is a improvement from not even turning on!
