Hi there, loving my player, However I am tired of the random stoppage while playing music. Had it for six weeks and it's starting to get very annoying. 3.1 update software as well, did fix it.

Okay, now that I've downloaded and extracted the new 3.1 version, how do I install this thing? I downloaded from the Cayin site via Firefox on the n5ii. Advice? Thanks

Hi All, Just wanted to chime in to let everyone know that I've now had my n5ii for about a week now. Probably has only about 20 hours on it. I've been using it with the Audeze EL-8 Titanium via 3.5mm connector. It sounds great with Mid gain on the HPA. So, today, got a set of the EL-8...

Thanks for the confirmation of the balanced 2.5mm wiring all!

Thanks Spiro. Now if I can only find fit connectors for the EL-8. I did purchase a pair from Moon Audio, but @$35 it's not cheap!

Andy or Cayin Support, I am making my own balanced 2.5mm cable for my HD800 and EL-8, my question for you is what is the wiring for the Cayin 5nii 2.5 balance output? Is it, starting from the tip of the connect, R-, R+, L+ and L-? Thanks in advance?

autur, I like it! Yes, your points are valid...I guess I've been stuck in the world of "audiophila" where if it is under $1k, it's a "budget" component. I mean look at the other DAPs out there from Astell & Kern, the defuncked Pono, and other DAP > $1k! I would love to have a better...

griff06, No not you specifically. More general to the group. I think it is fair to want more from the DAP, we all do. It's just that we have to just remember what this really was meant to do, right? The blue tint on the screen, well, it's probably not a very expensive screen and when I...

You know, is it just me or are a few of us/you taking the "bells and whistles" on this DAP a bit too far? For me, this is exactly what it is, a DAP, nothing more. A good one so far, I may add. I think all the other peripheries are nice to haves, but a budget DAP, this thing excels at. Of...

I use a 200gb SanDisk and it works well so far.

Hi All, just received my N5ii today and setting it up. Any "Must" have apps to download? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Kubig123! So, you just use one at a time or say a 400gb and a 200gb. No issues?

Hi All, What brand and size of memory card are you all using? 256gb? 200gb? SanDisk? At lease 100mb/ps

Not really a cable thread, but I am looking for Audeze EL-8 headphone connectors. I see the on moonaudio, but is there another place to source? Thanks

So, my N5ii is scheduled to arrive today at work. I will pick up tomorrow. Hopefully I have made a great choice in the DAP, however, as I continue to monitor this thread, it seems I may not have. Let's see what happens! Will keep all updated as to my journey with the N5ii. Please keep the...

Ebay.

Just pulled the trigger and ordered on from MusicTeck! Let's see how it goes. Will be building my own balanced cables for the EL-8 Titanium and Open Back. More to come!

Thanks Pinky. So, was the issues about reading the two SD cards resolved, anyone know? TIA Tuan

Hi All, thanks for all your reviews, feedback, thoughts, frustrations, etc...on the N5ii. I have been looking for a DAP and my first thought was A&K, either the Kann or the AK70mkii, however, both are much more than the N5ii. Having said that, I have the following headphones: EL-8 open back...

Thanks but I really wanted something that was balanced and offered balanced HP Out.  So far I really like the Jotunheim.  Now let's see how it sounds once broken in.  But first impressions with the HD800 are very positive!  

Thanks!  I ended up with the Jotunheim!   So far so goo!

Hi and thank you for the recommendation on the Schitt.  I've had their BiFrost, with the Uber upgrade and though I liked it much, I was not the DAC for me.  I have not tried their headphones though and perhaps should try their balance headphones amps and see how it sounds.  Anyone have...

Hi all,   Looking from some feedback on a Dac/Amp combo for the HD800!     Sold the Oppo HA-1, loved it but wanted something that matched the HD800 better.  Want more body, musicality and tone.   Any recommendations?  Budget to be at $1500 max.   Thanks

Hi there,   I have owned my HA-1 mated with the HD800 and DIY balance cables for over two years now.  I listen off and on, but lately have been getting into DSD files.  I am unsure if I am using the HA-1 correct to playback DSD files.  What I do is this to get the HA-1 to show DSD playback and...
