The plenue L use that chip :) it’s a fabulous dac :) let’s see if it will be the pro version too ..

Agreed, I auditioned the Plenue L and it's very very good... now DAC chip are one thing, implementation is key but I trust Cayin there :)

Wont have tubes , will have best SE amp.

Oh my, so I need to get the N8 brass black :D

You have insider's info ?

Anyway, still interested... my conclusion after the ALO CV5, DX220 + AMP9 experience is that Tubes or NuTubes don't necessarily mean "tubey"...

Someone asked me if Vannuys N8 carrying case will fit N8? I have taken a few photo to illustrate this.



Basically only the Pre Track button is out of reach, otherwise the Vannuys N8 case fit pretty well.

For the record, Dignis is working on a N6ii case, they just showed me the first prototype last week, hopefully we'll see more photo with material that closely assemble the final product in very near future.

Workaround for accessing the next track button

I finally decided to switch modules for the Cayin N6ii. I loved the A01 module and its AK4497EQ DAC so much I kept putting this off. But now I'm spending the evening with the T01 and its Dual PCM1792A chipset.

And to make this a truly splendid experience, my Legend X and Thor II Bespoke must participate. :D

Which pairs better with legend x ?

So how is it, T01 vs A01?
I'm absolutely fine with the A01 and I like how they implemented the AKM chip but...I love burr-brown, in general.

I posted a quick comparison earlier in the thread.

In terms of burr-brown implementation, I still like the iDSD Micro BL a bit more but as it burns in T-01 is getting closer and closer really great. I wouldn’t pair it with brighter or even reference IEMs, but with warmer stuff like my FIBAE7 it’s great!

Thanks. Good to know.
