Hi Andy

Recently my N5 cant start up whenever I press power button i can see the screen flickers but just refused to start up.
Than i inserted a power charging cable in and it can start up, but when i disconnect, the screen disappears.
Is this a dead battery problem and need to replace the battery. Tks.

Any chance the N5ii entered protective mode because of battery drain below safety threshold? If that is that case, keep the N5ii plug in for half and hour, the batter will slowly come back again.

If nothing happen after 30 minutes, then its likely the battery is not holding any charge or there is a component problem in the power management circuit. Sorry, you need to send the player back to your Cayin dealer for repair.

I send my Cayin N5 to Cayin support about 2 wks ago and today received email job is done and ready to ship back once payment made.
If I rely on my local distributor, they told me at least 2months.........
I will update further on the dap once it arrived.

Received the N5 few days ago. Very good condition and player works like when its new.
Thanks to Andy & team for the good job done.

Does Cayin support usb-audio? I plan to use an external dac, something like Topping nx4 dsd or Fiio Q5s as the dac and the N5 as the player...

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to use my N5 as a transport with my Schiit Modi DAC.
This is the cable and the adaptor:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KDY8R6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have tried it in USB mode and in DAC mode and neither leads to playable music. It works fine with coax, but the usb connection would be more comfortable (at the bottom) and would free up the coax input to my DAC. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or if this cannot be done, I would be grateful. Also, if anyone has a link to the manual that would be appreciated as well (I can't find that file on the cayin site).
best wishes & many thanks,
Jonathan

Yeah, this is what I'm asking (post above yours)... ie if usb audio is supported... till now waiting for response

N5 does not support USB audio (and does not support OTG).

1) Coaxial out is the only way to use N5 as a digital transport.
2) It can be used as DAC via line out.
3) USB DAC for computers.
AFAIK that is all available options.

PS
USB mode / DAC mode is for connection to computers only.
USB mode is for charging and files transfer.
DAC mode is for USB DAC function.

Thanks for this information. This is consistent with my experience, it was wishful thinking that it might be otherwise. . .

Does anyone still have the latest firmware update file for this player? Got a NOS one from Ebay (my old one broke years ago) and i would like to install the most current version.
