Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

[IgeNeLL]

Are you referring to the figures under Input Sensitivity section?

Check out our previous discussion on this topic HERE, that should clear some of your doubt about these figures.

Thanks for your advice, this information is useful. In my case, I use SE input and Low gain then the distortion does not occur on both Hugo2(Line Mode) - 3V and SP2000(LineOut) - 3V

Do anyone compared between SE and Bal lineout from a device?

@bluestorm1992 which gain setting did you use.

Finally got this from Japan directly...




Think sooner or later we will see Vannuys case for HA6a soon...

I think I ordered this. Payment went through, now I am just waiting for...something, I guess. LOL

I find the information of the dedicated lineout of Hiby R8, which have the impedance of 10k Ohm, just as I think about the difference between true lineout and phone line out mode.
Do anyone use it and see any different?

 

[No Deal]

VanNuys carrying case for Cayin C9 + DAP is available now in Japan. The price is about US$110.
They don't ship overseas directly, but you can get it via forwarding service such as tenso.com or tensojapan.com.

Is there a step-by-step anywhere to order this case from Japan?

There is, but the steps didn't work for me so I gave up. Another head fier was putting in an order and we combined them. That was a few weeks ago and it still hasn't shipped yet. I ordered the C9 case and an IEM carrying case.

I ordered earlier this week and it is quite the process. Wow. VN ships to address given to you by tenso. Then tenso ships to you. The kicker is setting up the us shipping account with tenso, then sending Japan address to VN. Not an easy process l.

I finally stumbled my way through it. I was a little bit hesitant to send them the ID but... Now I am waiting for the id verification. They say that you can go ahead and order but I would like to be sure that all is well. Ordered the C9 this morning. The Van Nuys case looks like it may be an option for transport to and from work so I am going to try it. I wish that I could have purchased from a US retailer but it is what it is.

Shameless plug here but I'm regrettably selling the C9, wish I had funds to keep it!

they rejected your license!??

Is there a good DAP out there without a final amplifier and decent line out options (SE and balanced)?

Unbelievable!

 

[HiFiHawaii808]

Yes. I literally could not believe it.

 

[feverfive]

Yes. I literally could not believe it.

I believe it because they did the same to me a few months ago. Saved me some coin, they did, hahahaha.
