We have translated the article below, it should provide a better reading experience than Google Translate

After N6ii’s second audio motherboard T01 was on sale (actually even before it), many fans were already asking us about the configuration and release date of the next audio motherboard. Because of the obstacles during the development, confidentiality (the product hadn’t been finalized yet), but also there is the itch in my heart to share with you all. I was suffering unspeakably.
Now it is certain that the next audio motherboard has been fully designed, developed and through various tests, the model is called E01. But one thing to point out that, this audio motherboard is not suitable for all users. Comparing with T01, it generates more heat and has less battery life (continuous usage without charge). Furthermore, it only has a single-ended phone output connector. No balanced, no balanced, no balanced!
Nonetheless, the listening performance of E01 is beyond comparison. We once again achieved new breakthroughs. If we explain that, parts of N8’s technology has been delegated to A01, T01 stands for the technical representation of parts of N6 (the first generation) and its official modified version, then the E01 is a completely new hardware design and application.
The national day holiday is right away, according to the stock process of our production materials, the trial production of E01 is estimated to be in late October, then the quantity production would start at mid-to-late November. The ideal on-sale date would be on early-to-mid December. This is also the last product of Cayin’s portable product line in 2019.
This is not a “headline feature article” before it launches, please stay tuned for more detailed information. After all, the design has just been finalized. From now to the official launch, Cayin’s official Weibo (and Facebook) will be publishing information of E01 Audio Motherboard.
A few more words, E01 is suitable for those audiophiles who pursue the purest sound performance. If you are the ones who can adapt the heat and shorter battery life it has (actually these aren’t as worse as you might be thinking, comparing to T01, the thermal and battery differences are mild. They are more distinct when comparing to A01). (If you could adopt it,) then E01 has a warm yet transparent timbre, it is smooth and clearly linear. Please stay tuned.
So that’s about it, no matter what, we’ll see when it goes on sale!
