The stack is cool, but you realize it’s not really usable unless someone buys a Cayin N6ii? Any chance that is part of your sale @Whitigir ?

I also agree with @jmills8 above

I too have a lot of high end DAPs (Cayin N8, Ibasso 220Max, Hiby R8) which are way better than stock N6ii (that comes with A01) - This is just my perspective and this will not be universally acceptable as everyone's tastes are different. I simply feel C9 is here to give more interesting sound signatures with each of the DAPs based on synergy.

I have seen enough comments here to see "N6ii+A02+C9 is godly" or "DX300+Amp12+C9 is godly" or something else. Does this mean someone need to purchase those 2 DAPs for the sake of pairing with C9 ?

Lets all enjoy the music ! Having a portable amp like C9 with variety of sound signatures it offers gives you option to play DAPs years from now regardless how they are priced. I am happy to see something of this kind exists.

I think the source obviously needs to be a DX300 Max Titanium.

My stack is Cayin C9+ N6ii+A02+T01 modified + Pure gold interconnect + Orbtronic batteries + Pelican carrying case + N6ii Dignis case + I2S cables in this transaction

Should there be something else ? Unless you meant a second N6ii to go with that T01 in order to use both at the same time LOL

anyways, shoot me PM if anyone is seriously interested

You’re right! It actually includes the Cayin N6ii. @Whitigir - ignore. This is an incredible combo

When I listened to it in Vacuum Mode, the warm air fills the space with a slight reverberation. Some amps have a strong tube-like feel, which reduces sound clarity, but the C9's resolution is quite good.

Pretty much agreed

I agree with you.

Just picked up my Van Nuys carrying case. Trying out a pair of the belt hangers. Not bad. It might be a bit much to wear in the office though.

...and in the meanwhile, my (!) C9 with a dead tube is waiting to be shipped to US, and be sent back to me - process that would take 2 to 3 months. Of course, they also have to send it to China. Apparently the original buyer had no problem and it got broken during shipment and a C9 with a dead tube landed on my table - which sucks big time. I learned from the dealer that there was one more person that had a similar issue.

Did you guys experience any repairs from US to China? How long did it take for you?
