Wow that is very... green

Any comparison vs Fiio M11 Pro and Sony ZX507 - on 4.4mm? Is the N3 Pro's 4.4mm warmer/smoother?

The case is very nice quality and fits perfect. It helps that dark green is one of my favorite colours.

Beginning to really appreciate this dap, particularly its flexibility, ie three sound profiles—able to pair signature with best match for various albums.
I’d like to revise my comparison to Hiby R5 also. N3pro appears to have more balanced, coherent sound across the spectrum with fewer harsh high frequency peaks.

N3p also has a more holographic sound in UL mode.

lol, this place does my head in, you know any sd card is basically a ssd.

"Basically" it is right. Looking only at memory cells, it is right. But memory controller and interface are big difference
between microSD and SSD. So the performances are different.
MicroSDs sound the same as SSDs? I hope it so much. Sometimes try microSDs and dissatisfied with sound quality
and instability. And return to SSDs.
By the way, about optane memory, the memory cell itself is different from normal nand memory. It's 3D XPoint.
No microSDs are made of 3D XPoint.

If it's not a high pitched noise, it's not microphonic noise.
I got the same problem with my N3Pro. When I turned the volume to zero, I heard some hum noise come and go. Andy suggested to get the service with the seller. Andrew @ MusicTeck quickly replaced my unit. Top notch service.

Thanks Giraku

cayin n3 pro vs hiby 6 pro, which one produces much-balanced output?

N3p also has a more holographic sound in UL mode.

Can one of you compare UL vs triode mode?

 

[ionier]

Thank you very much

So as promised, i compared them n8ss in tube mode high gain p+, n3pro high gain ultralinear. Used Anole Vx (all switches off)which will do justice to the daps because of its high resolution less coloration(for my ears).
Songs all flac: Abba Gimme Gimme, Alphaville Big in Japan, Eagles Hotel California, John Williams Revenge of The Sith, Megadeth Tornado of Souls, Metallica Master of Puppets.

I can say that N8 has better soundstage, more airy with better separation and resolution but if you ask me there is no 6x price difference, n3pro is almost there , considering the other totl daps n8 price must be correct but there is something wrong with n3pro pricing
If you have the cash to burn and then some, n8 is the clear choice, if spending that 3299$ will give you nightmares n3pro will not upset you.

The technology you refer to does not appear to ensure greater, long-term stability of stored data but only how rapidly and reliably most commonly used data is accessed. I’d like to know if I’m missing something here

Maybe the Romi mod can help.

Sorry I didn’t get you, Romi mod will help with what? For me shipment will cost more than the mods

The thing I'm interested in is if reading speed of data affect the sound quality. Not theoretically but if human sense can differ it.
And stability I said is not about data itself, but the stability of data flow from memory(microSD) to dac and amp. I don't know where is the problem.
Contact stability? The speed of interface? I tried to improve it by applying some contact treatment. But I still feel some problems listening to music with microSD.
Maybe it is a prejudice, but I've always felt it.
