Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp
May 7, 2021 at 4:23 PM Post #3,946 of 6,212
I tried several options, but now I think the c9 is best suited for neutral dap / dac with high sound resolution and great detail possibilities. Warm and smooth DAPs / DACs fits poorly, imo. I use P6 pro + C9 with both UM Mest and Empyrean. After a while I finally found the perfect combination for myself.
This is probably why the C9 pairs so well with the Hugo 2.

Gee, follow the instructions? What's the problem?
Not everyone reads the instructions. Products need to be made to be idiot proof. Some products like my Hiby R6 2020 don't even have an owner's manual.

LOL, sounds like every mechanic I ever worked with. I think their problems were related to testosterone poisoning though. It only took me about a year to figure out I was NOT smarter than the shop manual.

Fabulous.

I have a feeling Hugo2/2Go or SP2000 -> C9 with my Utopia, Empyrean, HD800S and Trailli will be a very fine time indeed. I can't wait for it to arrive.
How do you compare Utopia and Empyrean out of C9? If you can keep one only, which one will you keep?

In my opinion It is almost impossible to directly compare utopia vs empyrean, due to the difference in sound signature

I call it magic, because I do not really like the L&P P6 pro or Hugo 2 as a standalone device, but in combination with the C9 it becomes an end game set-up

@RTodd better to echo your C9 comments here instead of in the Traillii thread. Lol

If you use some 3500 mAh batteries, you can theoretically extend the battery life for a solid hour. Vince recommends the following but it is mostly sold out ATM. I will keep an eye on it and report here when they had the stock back.

Like asking for a hit on 14. That would be taking someone’s card.

In too many threads at the same time, and I get confused easily.

Yes, replacing batteries is a good idea, an hour would help a lot in my case.

This is also recommended by @cheznous as an alternative to stock Sony batteries. Added an extra hour and without altering the sound signature.

I just ordered a set myself and will see how they perform.
