I was able to grab one from MusicTeck, though it will be a while until I'm able to review it properly as I'm traveling. :darthsmile:

Perfect timing, Andrew just hand delivered this 40lb baby to my door, now that's service! Apparently it was the backup for the Canjam NYC.

Unboxing is up. My first video so be gentle :]



Trying to get my hands on some other headphones and/or equipment to see how it performs with different gear. If you're in the NYC area and want to either loan me or be in the review msg me.

Its EL34 based but you can use KT88 as well.
More detail will be available next week, but if you are attending Canjam Shanghai and want to preview this, the Cayin HA-6A is pairing with Empyrean at Meze booth (B7-B9).

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

I tested it at CanJam in Shanghai with the Meze Empyrean and to me it did sound amazing.
Quite good in micro and macro dynamics, deep bass, a little forward mids (as expected), but I don't know how much the final result had to be given to the cans, which are phenomenal to my ears, and the amp.
For sure that pairing was very very good.
I am just struggling to find an open shop where to go with my music, DAC and cans to test it better and decide whether to start saving money for it or not.....
