Cayin N3Ultra

General Information

The N3Ultra is Cayin's latest Gen 3 Tube DAP, equipped with two JAN6418 vacuum tubes and featuring our latest vacuum tube damping technology.

The significance of N3Ultra lies in being our third-generation tube-based DAP. Starting from N30LE, we have divided the tube timbre into Classic and Modern modes, allowing users to freely choose their preferred sound signature. Now, this feature has been extended to our latest portable player lineup, the N3ultra!

That's bcschmerker4® to you!
Who manufactures the 6418 pentodes for Cayin®? Raytheon® got out of the vacuum tube business to concentrate on other electronics; the NOS 6418 lineup will eventually dry up.

I couldn't get the answer anywhere, but I am afraid that this device is build with some obsolete hardware with an obsolete android version which will make impossible :
-> to use some UAC 2.0 feature (like headset command with the N3 ultra is set as DAC receiver)
-> to use 1.5 Tb sandisk micro SD card
-> to get android battery saving control (to avoid charging over 80% most of the time and 100% only when needed).

Basically I was interested to test some portable vacuum tubes with such device to connect it with my Smartphone (Z Fold5 with 1Tb memory) to get Qobuz streaming features and offline playlists and assuming you get those 3 important features..

I have the N3pro and I don't mind it's basic playback functionality, without all the networking and apps that are on my phone. All that adds money and weight and power.

NuTube seems to work okay with bluetooth and wifi but these NOS Raytheon tubes would pick up the noise and send it to your headphones.

The N3ultra is the perfectly executed product. All the money is in the sound.
