Gents, about this whole "popping" issue that seems to exist, has anyone done the following comparison and listened carefully for the popping? There are FLACs that is a single file of the entire CD and there are ones where each song on the CD is an individual FLAC Have you guys tried to listed...

Thats weird. I wonder if providing the Cayin Engineers with a copy of the CD youre listening to (or the ripping details) might help them narrow down the issue I´m guessing that theyre working on resolving the issue no...? Based on what you say, if the popping is not that distracting, I think...

Thanks for trying that out - so this popping noise is something you´d have to live with? People kept mentioning that its a driver issue so I thought it only appeared when connecting via a computer (windows driver...) but I guess this is something internal Is there hope that this might get...

Can someone please chime in on this? I´m thinking of getting the N3 to use for streaming music from external HDD to my home Hifi (as DAC, no PC) - This popping issue that everyones on about, would this still affect me?

So in my case since I'm planning to use the N3 at home to stream directly from an external HDD (control via the Android app no computer in play) does that mean that the popping issue won't affect me...?

I'm trying to figure out if this popping issue that everyone seems to be talking about applies to my usecase or not When you say "driver" issue are you talking about Windows or OS drivers? Or something internal to the N3? In my case I plan to use it as my main DAC, however not connected to a...

I'm thinking of getting the N3 to serve a dual purpose 1- As a Portable player with a limited subset of music on the road and 2- Connected to an external HDD and my home HiFi as a streamer/DAC while at home Just wondering what the comments here are referring to "occasional popping with some...

Awesome, thanks for the feedback I hear your point about the mastering quality, I´ve read this multiple times on forums About the 320kbps comparison though, I didnt know that spotify streaming was at that quality level - I´m just talking about the normal spotify streaming quality comparison -...

Hi Andy I´m very intrigued by the N3 in this capability to read from external HDDs. Can you confirm that this method works with all HDDs? Theres no limitation on HDD manufacturers or certain controllers? Whats the most N3 friendly format (read speed etc)? FAT/FAT32/exFAT/NTFS - Asking because...

Thanks for the response By this Do you mean acoustic "live" performances, (like unplugged)? Or even acoustic studio numbers? If live, does that extend beyond acoustic numbers to concerts as well....? Honestly I´m not an audiophile, always loved music though. I havent ever tested my capacity to...

Hi all I´m hoping the people that have been listening to Hi-Res Audio for a while might be able to post their suggestions for the definitive songs that clearly illustrate the superiority of Hi-Res Audio (to be clear I dont want to start a fight about if anything above 16/44.1 is even worth it...
