@bavinck Really?! Can you please share some pics of the N6 in your pocket?
i haven't spent a lot of time listening to the n6 yet, but it's clear the n6 is better than the dx90. comparing the two, the latter has a slightly bloated, loose bass - that's the biggest difference, though in general the n6 has more air - a wider soundstage with more precise imaging. the dx90 is still very good, though.
when the n6 is $500 i would say it is clearly a better value than the dx90 at $400. if the n6 is $620, then the values are more similar, and it would mostly be a matter of budget, though the dx90 has some physical advantages- a better form factor and the ability to swap in s3 batteries. i'm actually waiting for a qp1r [talk about blowing budgets!] and i'm curious how it will compare with the n6.
Eagerly awaiting your comparison between the N6 and QP1R.
So those of us happy with the Cayin N6 should skip the QPR1???
Pinky: Stay away from those shows then....you'll come back a poorer guy...maybe happier but poorer!
Im now a week with N6 after Fiio x5 and i would say that its significant step forward in the sound. Very rich, deep and engaging device.
The only concern is the battery lifetime.. Its 2-3 times less than the x5. Are there any tricks to stretch the battery? Firmware? Any settings?
