Is there any info on what the included accessories will be?

Cayin is very good at tube amplifiers. Their sound sig is such a warm and smooth, tube like. Cayin N5 for example.

Unfortunately that is not the case for the N6 hahaha!

I know, lol. Can't get used to that one

Yeah I'm considering to pair my N6 with the Nuansa A1 just to add some warmth

N6 was always intended as their reference audiophile flagship.  Probably due for refresh soon...

Yes, I was wondering how it might compare to the Fiio X1ii also...It seems to offer a lot for the price.

If someone could compare the Cayin C3 to the Fiio X1ii and the Shanling M1, that'd be great.

You are better off with the M1 or N3. Those two have a better CP rate (Cost to Performance).

Very interested in this! Nice specs, hope it sounds great. I love this dac in my XDUOO XD-05, so an even more portable implementation would be great.

When I get one, I'll be able to compare to Shanling M1 but I don't have the FiiO DAP...

So this has thrown a spanner in the works, i was all set to get the Shanling M1 to pair with the Mojo but after owning the N5 which was great but died and couldnt get replaced i upgraded to the N6 which was superb but too big and heavy.  I dont really want an android or touch screen and the thought of a baby N5 with UBS out seems perfect.
 
Any news on a UK or Europe release?

N3 is on the way, guys. Should have it mid-week

Great! Looking forward to hearing your impressions.

Yes, it should be burned in a bit from CanJam NY, too :thumbsup_tone2:

Guys just bought Colorfly C200 (ES9018 dac chip inside) but very curious to hear any sound impressions about how AKM4490 chip sounds in N3
Given the low cost and the nice design i am looking forward to get N3 too...
