it's on the website though isn't it - though not for sale through it.

The Chinese website already shown the amplifier at the time of the CanJam in Shanghai.

I had compared the late prototype of EL34 and KT88 version of HA-6a side by side last month, my general observation is KT88 for full size planar and really low sensitivity cans and EL34 for most dynamics and planar with easier sensitivity. These are "general" observation but this will also affected by music genre and the your personal preference.

But wait, why do you need to "choose" a version? You can buy a HA-6A and swap between EL34 and KT88 anytime you like.

On the surface, this product looks very much to be derived from the Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated amps which I believe are manufactured in the same facility - any thoughts on that Andy? I've got a Dialogue HP and to be honest I've never been particularly impressed by the headphone out despite that being one of the reasons I bought it. The headphone out lacks that last bit of transparency and liquidity one would hope for - by comparison I thought the HA-300 sounded glorious.

Looks great indeed, for me it resembles Air Tight amp, I wonder when it will be avaliable in Europe.

 

[OctavianH]

Any review, impressions, unboxing? Has anyone tried it yet?

 

[moosemp]

I checked price inGermany- about 3500Euro...... In Poland they do not know neither when it will be avaliabe, nor the price.
Maybe I will buy HA 300 first...

Munich High-end is our major event, we plan to attend the show. In fact we had a very attractive booth in 2019:

We hope the recent coronavirus outbreak will be contained by that and we can demonstrate the HA-6A in Munich as planned.

Cayin will demonstrate our HA-6A in CanJam New York.



If you were attending the CanJam event tomorrow, make sure you drop by our booth (Managed by MusicTeck) and check out HA-6A.

Our original plan is to deliver the HA-6A to our Europe and US dealers by April 2020, we are trying our best to keep that plan but we can't be 100% certain until we can resume full manufacturing operation in Zhuhai.

In case you want to check whether your desk has enough space for the HA-6A, this is a quite quite for you.

If you have a highly revealing headphone and enjoy tube rolling, check out the options with HA-6A, I am sure you'll have a lot of fun.

 

[OctavianH]

You should make also a black version.

Kicking myself I didn't hear this at Canjam today.

I saw HA-6A photo in CanJam NYC impression thread but no impression so far, maybe you have better luck if you raise this question there.

Does the Cayin HA-6A have faster transient response with less softening of the sound than the HA-300?

I guess the biggest competitor to this amp at this price range is the Woo WA22 but the Cayin appears to have more versatility.
