Nope, new Amp12 module, non-stock. Has 4.4mm PO and 4.4mm dedicated LO
Thanks. But I will resist. I sold my DX300 a short while after burning it in. It just didn't thrill me. Maybe because I laid my claim to things like LPGT Ti and LP6 and LP6 Ti and now C9 and for the second N6ii/A02. Now I'm just waiting for the N6ii Ti to I hope complete my collecting while I build a new house. My wallet is in total revolt! :jecklinsmile: :ksc75smile:

Sure...

But...

Did you try the DX300 with Amp12?

Nope. Resist, resist, I must resist. I'm fairly certain I would like it but....

Apparently it pairs AMAZINGLY with the C9... that dedicated LO and greater power...

Of interest to some, Van Nuys dedicated case for C9 & DAP: https://www.vannuys.co.jp/official/new_item/ve291/

I, for one, am all over this.
Not bad. Certainly makes it much more usable than the IFI case I use. The only thing I don't like is the rubber bands. I have those for my Mojo and I don't like them. I think a strap with a buckle might be more useable.

edited to note: How do you change tracks? Do you need to take it out of the case? It would argue for pairing the C9 with a W2 so that you can use an Apple watch to control music. Too bad the W2 doesn't sound good with the C9.

I have them myself for the Mojo, though obviously they're optional. Wouldn't use them myself.

All the Van Nuys cases I have are well thought out and very well built, so I think this should be good for C9 users.

On that same site, I found this very nice multiple IEM case. I like this layout better than what I got from Amazon which was designed for watches. This is clearly designed for IEMs so that the pockets are the right size.

About changing tracks, it's a good point - I guess it depends on your usage. I think the Hilby app can be controlled through different sources.

I will say, one of things I *really* miss from the Cayin/Lotoo DAPs is the Sony remote control (RMT-NWS20) one uses for their WM1A/1Z. I found that incredibly helpful when out and about. Maybe there's a 3rd party remote I don't know about that can be used for other DAPs.

I think you can control the Cayin dap from your phone using the app Hiby link.

Edit: found this video from Musicteck.

Can I control my Hiby DAP with Hiby Link? I was probably going to buy this case anyway, but if the answer is yes, then I am definitely buying it.
