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

[bigbeans]

He covers the Odin on his C9 review, which you can access from the home page. Doesn't seem like the best pairing, as apparently there is some hissing.

He did note IEMatch address all issues regarding hissing.

Edit: I use DUNU Luna (which hisses on C9) with a IEMatch, and zero issues whatsoever.

Got my C9 pre order in! Hopefully I’ll have it this week if musicteck gets their stock soon.

Welcome to the club! Hope you will get it soon and enjoy it. Have you decided which DAP to use to pair with it?

For now just DX300, I know it doesn’t have the best LO so I’ll be exploring other options too depending on my initial thoughts with the C9.

Looking into the HiBy R8 again though.

Just found out from your signature that the SP2000 is once again (and again) gone.

Went to its new owner this morning

Got heads-up that UK stockists should be getting their C9 loads by the end of this week; meaning us pre-order customers should have it next week.

Congrats! I think the wait is worth it. Make sure to try it with both your headphones and IEMs!

I think I ordered early Feb, so definitely a bit of wait. Anticipation is high.... I've bought a few new headphones since then, including a pair of Fostex TH900, which I'm especially keen to hear with the C9.

I pre-ordered from Audio Concierge a few days ago. They told me the C9s are flying in from Cayin and should be available in a few days. Can’t wait!

Yes!!!!! Just been advised that my C9 has been picked and is being packaged now for despatch. The C9's look to have landed in the UK now so all UK customers on the first pre-order list 'should' see theirs delivered this week. I think US customers will see theirs delivered early next week. A big Hooray for everyone who is on board from this new delivery. I look forward to hearing all of your thoughts.

Just got the same notification myself.

Pairing my new Chord Hugo 2 as designated source of C9, with an aim to create a semi desktop system with portability, streamed from my music server by iMac via Roon.

Thanks @bluestorm1992 for the advice and sharing. The combo works extremely well with Chord signature of airy and musical presentation and Cayin signature of excellent control, dark background and my favorite tube A mode.
