Many reviews for headphones, amp, dacs, etc. It's easier to just check my profile as I've linked most of them there. http://www.head-fi.org/u/136355/armaegis
 
-Whether you would like to help organize a Local Cayin product review tour or not
Sure thing. I am already the local meet organizer and have helped coordinate larger tour programs as well.

Who're you calling addicted!

If there's some way in a blue moon I can keep the C5DAC (wishful thinking, I know) then I would make a giveaway on head-fi for both my E12 and Cowon J3 for those who need it. If I am addicted, at least I'll be helping new head-fi'ers out. I don't believe in hoarding when others who need it could use it.

I'll bite. I like Cayin's 2 channel products like the A-55TP and really think your SP-10A is one of the most handsome looking integrated amps of the last decade... If it had a headphone jack on it I think it would've given Leben CS300 and Luxman's SQ-38u a run for their money and least with my wallets consideration. 
 
That said here is my response for the RFQ: 
 
Location - USA, Long Beach, California 90806
 
Headphones: Sennheiser HD800, Audeze LCD2, Hifiman HE400 and Philips X2
 
Music Players: iPod Video x 2, iPod Nano X 2, Samsung Galaxy 5.0 player, Fiio X1 and HP Envy 15 With JRiver 
 
Cayin Products you own - None

Re: Coordinating a product review tour. I would be open to coordinating a local product tour with interested people here in Southern California assuming the amount of time and resources necessary to do so is reasonable. 
 
Your consideration for the opportunity would be greatly appreciated.

None, but I'd love to give Cayin products a try considering how highly regarded they are on Head-Fi! I've also considered the C5 among others as a possible portable amp for the portable setup that I am trying to put together.

I'm currently in the process of writing my FiiO X3 2nd gen review - I'll edit this post to add that review once I'm finished with it.
