Sorry I don't have the N6II .. I intend to buy the N6II+E02 and I am wondering if the A02 is still necessary ?
I could see Whitgir is even thinking that N6II+A02+C9 has still some little advantages compared to the M30. But does E02 have the same real line out as A02 ?

E02 does have the true LO. A02 has better LO quality but E02 is also OK.

Seems like a good time to announce I have a Cayin N6ii and A02 coming my way

 

[Whitigir]

N6 and A02 is damn clean

 

[greenmac]

Better than LPGT ?

Better than LPGT ?

dunno, I have listened to a lot of DSD files on LPGT-Ti into C9 and I would not call the A02 better than that, but close fer sure.

Nice additions to the joy that is C9, stand and Oracle

File under "unusual pairings." The C9 with the Sony WM-D6C. This is one of the few high-end Sony Walkmans of the classic era with a true line-out (and line-in), so it's perfect for external amps. Sounds surprisingly good - warm and smooth, but with a good sense of dynamics.

Have to say, listening to the ZMF VC on my old AC/DC, Maiden, Metallica tapes from adolescence is a bit of a thrill. The C9 and D6C are also big beasts, and their dimensions suit each other nicely.

Wow, thanks for sharing. So classic and beautiful. Mind if I share them with Liang from Cayin?

So So Cool.
Does it sound real analog?
Extra warm and fuzzy?

Of course!

Absolutely. No two ways about it, there's an intimacy and warmth with tapes you can't get anywhere else. The internal amp of the Sony is also surprisingly powerful, but the line out is so clean it just works super well with the C9. Dang, if only the Sony build quality remained on this level. This thing is a tank.

I haven't gone round to it yet, but thanks for sharing this, great to see others that know where truth lies
