Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP
Aug 31, 2019 at 6:17 AM Post #1,741 of 8,194
I cant decide on the wm1a or n6ii :frowning2: wm1a can function as a dac amp through ur phone which eliminates the purpose of needing a dap with Google play etc. But cayin is future proof has more power and has everything you need except a mobile connection.

Wm1a has bigger soundstage (bal) but it sound thin compared to n6ii, pick your own posion bud.

Or buy both and really let your ears know.

I really wanted to pull the trigger on this bad boy, but no MQA licensing is what's holding me back. 95% of my listening at the moment is via offline/Tidal Masters and no full MQA support is a bummer :slight_frown::disappointed:. Well I guess I can pickup another IEM and stick to HIBY R6 Pro for now until M11 pro is released.
N6ii supports MQA by Tidal app and UAPP in software manner, Tidal even offline. I don’t see any problem for MQA - N6ii allows listening Masters albums offline.

Also maybe there will
Be more support since the latest n8 software gave full mqa support, hopefully it will extend to the n6

Thank you! So what am I really losing by not having full hardware unfold/render followed by upsampling? So am I losing anything via software unfold and upsampling to 24/96? Any downside? Thanks in advance.

You still get 88.2 or 96 for the masters, just not the final unfold to 176.4 or 192:
