  Yup, I'm waiting eagerly for Cayin to release one so that I can get it ordered. I hate silicone cases; makes everything feel cheap and crappy. Hell, my phones have clear acrylic cases that are made in China for $3. They're nicer than silicone junk.
 
Hint, hint...Andy! I'll be glad to beta a case for ya!


I wonder if they could make a TPU rubber case...it's different than silicone because it's smooth on the outside and doesn't attract lint and slides in your pocket easily. I'm sure you've seen them on smartphones.

This is working nicely


 



 


Nice.
What cable are you using? Have a link?


I got this cable as a gift from Andy, I don't know where he got it.

I would also love a leather case. I either use leather or nothing, as the pic shows.

I will soon post the AP60/N3 comparative review.

Got my 128GB card last night..so now fully operational.   
 
Noting that I come from an iPhone/iPad user interface (or iTunes to stereo system), question:  When in Genres, it looks like I just see songs, not the albums itself (making this feature ineffective).  How to I fix this so I can look at albums by genre?

That's why I prefer folder navigation: it puts the choice of organization in the hands of the user. For example, you could have top-level folders for Genres, then Artists below that, then Albums, and finally songs. I wish Tag navigation worked that way, so choosing a Genre first presented you with all the artists in that genre, etc. But tag organization is a decision of the firmware developers, not the users, so when you choose a genre, they just give you a massive list of songs to sort through.

+1 For folder navigation...works best for me as I prefer to listen to albums anyway.

Great.  More file management.  
 
(Making me really appreciate iTunes...)

Definitely not *any* rubber case. They just suck, pure and simple. Hard acrylic or leather is the only way a case should be!
