There's a slight delay when using the Cayin N3 as a USB DAC.
Is this fixable?

I am also curious about this. When I use this as a USB DAC and play games, the latency is very noticeable. (I have the Cayin driver set to minimum latency and have tried 64 samples and auto)

Does anyone have a solution?

Not true about no Apple fans in the thread.
And you have to remember that Jobs made portable MP3 players mainstream. Before then, Creative and Cowon tried but never reached the masses. Creative was great though, wish they had stuck around in the portable player market.

However, it is true that unless you really really like hard drive players, there's no market for them anymore.

Which of Steve's abandoned babies would you trade your N3 for?

Hi, this is a inevitable result.My colleague Andykong has made specific explanation before: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cay...oax-out-for-150.833932/page-109#post-13464002

Hello @Andykong , there is small bump behind my N3, I notice today, I use silicone case from day 1 (29 Sept)..
Im worried its not only the pleather, but inside N3, because I can push the plastic frame.
I give u picture to show bump position, and upload a video, put N3 on flat surface, is this normal?

I use cayin original cable for charging, (phone charger)

Back to taking the back off an N3. Rather than Andy Kong going to the trouble of asking perhaps other people who have done it (e.g. nmathais) could maybe tell us?

Thanks for any help everyone.

Hi， it seems that the pleather haven't placed properly and it slides to the right side. You can try to push the pleather to left side by your finger slightly, then press the right side pleather into N3's frame. Any problems, please feel free to let me know again.

The pleather is perfectly align, but I notice very small gap from plastic frame near microSD card, and I can push it, but it will back bump again.

Sorry for the inconvenient caused. I am quite sure the problem is the handling of pleather, I'll inform our QA to step up their process on this area.

If you trim the pleather slightly, will it fit into the space perfectly? maybe you need to apply some glue to the pleather before you push it in.

Thank you @CayinSupport and @Andykong , for fast response, N3 work perfectly fine, battery is good, hope its just the pleather, maybe I can trim it, but the gap exist,..
Sorry for nitpicking, just want to give small feedback.

That looks great and I assume it sounds great as well. What is that on the left side of the photo? I can't quite make it out.
