It's called solipsism.You have not seen the vast majority of the world or the universe and have not touched it, yet it exists. That is a failed and narrow-minded logic.

The item exists in reality to the people at Cayin with whom I was addressing with my question. Certainly a parts list for the DAC also exists, in reality. And I believe the iDAC-8 existed for the people who've seen it at trade shows. Did you come here to scold me for asking a question? I swear, it's like people want to get blocked.

Attention:
“…continues to exist “,in other words you sensed it before. Otherwise it’s rather belief.
Thanks to all, it was funny!
Good night.

Thank you so much, glad you have pointed it out promptly, I have replaced the corrected version immediately.Wait, the outputs on the iDAC-8 should be RCA and XLR, not 3.5mm and 4.4mm, right?…
I use the Line Out and Pre Out table of the N7 DAP to compile the iDAC-8 output specification. Obviously, I wasn't thinking carefully when I did that. I received the 888 suit and N3Ultra measurements at the same time, so I was a bit rushed when I was doing that.
The digital bitstream in USB Audio of iDAC-8 is transferred in Asynchronous USB Audio mode, we have added a buffer before feeding the bitstream to DAC ship, this will lower the jitter of playback and enhance the data integrity. The down side is latency issue that will create lip-sync problem for home theater application.
Can we use it for home theater? I wouldn't recommend that unless your video display or Home Theater AV Center has a lip sync or audio delay adjustment. This is a very common feature in AV Receiver, and there are special footage and procedures to adjust the lipsync setting (HERE).
I'll complete the iDAP-8 and iDAC-8 web page next week, and will come back with a formal announcement
These days anyone can’t be sure because of AI and deep fakes
We have demoed the 888 i-series at CanJam New York, this is the announcement at the show impression thread, and someone did mention briefly that they auditioned the stack in the show.
It was said not about iDAC-8 but in context of further joking discussion. It’s all because there’s no other source but your posts in regard of this new series. I personally have no doubt that we’ll see this series in real life soon because there’s nothing unique or revolutionary in its design.

Cayin has uploaded a video to explain the 2024 i-Series three-piece suit today, and we have also posted a detailed iDAP-8 product page and iDAC-8 product page on our website.
The iDAP-8 will retail at US$1,399 and the iDAC-8 at US$1,199 respectively. We shall ship out the 2024 i-Series three-piece suit to our dealers this week. US, Germany, Singapore, and Indonesia dealers will receive their orders very soon, and we shall fulfill more orders when we complete our next production batch by mid-April 2024.
Please check with your Cayin for the local price and date of availability.

The iDRAC-8 seems perfect. Will be on my shortlist
@Andykong Any chance of a CD with the same footprint or would that be the Cayin Mini-CD MK2?

Unfortunately, the dimension of mini-CD MK2 is 240mm x 213 mm x 58mm, so it won't match with the iDAC-8 because we make the mini_CD MK2 according to the footprint of iDAC-6 MK2 and iHS-6.
Submitted request, that's all I can tell, the rest are sealed by NDA.
