My Cayin N6 review is up: http://www.head-fi.org/products/cayin-n6-pcm1792a-chip-dsd-lossless-music-player/reviews/12489

I don't have the N6. However, I have paired my X5 with the C5 and enjoy the combination very much.  I too would like to hear the comparison between that pairing and the N6.

The design reminds me off s front loader washing machine.

Will this operate remotely via usb from a touch screen car stereo like ipods do?

I'm not 100% sure, but most probably it won't

Definitely will not.  iPod remote/car interface is like OTG USB (not exactly, but in the same vein).  N6 is just a source that outputs audio, you can't control it remotely.

thanks
 
I would be happy if you could just fire it up in shuffle or by artist album and put it back in the glove box
 
usb out to head unit
 
contemplating Cayin N6 now, FiiO X5 or waiting for FiiO X7
sounds like the X& will have too many extraneous features and not enough usable space
 
how does the usb attached space work on the Cayin?
 
I don't know why manufacturers don't go with 2 terra byte drives
whoever made a good unit that did this would kill it in the high rez DAP department

I just bought a Cayin N6 from ProStudio Sound via Amazon
 
It just arrived quickly and nicely packed to my office
 
Wow, what a beautiful piece
 
I'm a two channel audiophile guy but utilize ipods (own three to be able to carry a bunch of music)
I plan to use it in my car audio (but no touch screen interface) and I have BrainWavz S5 and Sennheiser HD600s to play with
 
I have all my files in iTunes via Apple Lossless
 
I also recently bought a Bluesound Vault
 
 
it rips in lossless flac and mp3
 
It also plays WAV, AIFF, AAC, WMA, MP3, and other standard audio formats with gapless playback.
 
what format are sacd, dvd-a and Blu-ray audio in?  It doesn't look like the Vault will import them
 
My Apple I-Mac has a cd/dvd drive  - I am not sure if I can use that and if I need another file format than ITunes
 
I also have an Audio Research CD9 which has a world class tube dac section and will handle up to 192 from an external source
so having my high res stuff in a managable media library that I can download to various devises would be ideal
 
The Vault stores 1 terabyte and links to hard drives, etc
 
 
I also have an OPPO 105  - can I hook that up to the network and perhaps burn or port across the high rez files that way?
 
sorry for my ignorance
 
is it doable or do I have to buy high rez in digital format?
 
As for the Cayin
 
I'll write a review once I get some music loaded
 
After the Sony $1,000 walkman story, I started shopping a number of DAPs (FiiO, Astell, Etc.) and the positive reviews here led me to Cayin. I would have never discovered them without the great insight here
 
Thank you
 
Tom

I had most daps here beside to ultra expensive ones...but the n6 definitely beats them all IMHO

Why not come here to discuss it, there is more information and updates.

I have the Cayin N5 but the N6 just does not sit right, it has a round panel with a square screen in the middle it seems like wasted space.  If it was a full circle screen that would be awesome but just seems like empty design space. 

 

[peareye]

They both feel just fine to me...It comes down to personal tastes. By the way, they both sound fine also!
