Yes it works . I did Ota too

 

[jerick70]

Any fix for noise from the wireless in this update?

 

[davidmolliere]

Yes, Iove it...

Great!

Oh you got a nice blue for the screwdriver

Give it time to burn in and you'll love it even more

@Andykong write a more information about E01, very please. I have a little information from Yolanda, but not about section DAC and AMP.

Well E01 is supposed to start production in December give or take, not sure when it will be available, maybe January?
@Andykong ?

Cayin will debut E01 at Guangzhou High End Audio Visual show on 6-8 December 2019, so please stay tune for that. E01 will be available to market sooner after that, most likely within December 2019. With a bit of luck, some N6ii users might be able to open box E01 before Christmas.

Oh my sweet music to my ears!

 

[cr3ativ3]

which pcm filter are you guys using ? do you notice differences ?

Very thanks for answer, a little time and we have more information, sweet to my ears too.

Which module would be the best pairing for Anole VX – A01 or T01?

Main concern is the highs and resolution. As far I as learnt, T01 is not recommended for bright IEMs. I wonder, if that’s the case.

I have heard Anole Vx with N8 in several occasion but never tried it with N6ii, I am not 100% sure if T01 is a better match then A01 with Vx, but I am quite sure T01 won't sound too bright with Vx even on the standard (all-off) tuning.

For those who are unfamiliar with Anole VX comes with 3 switches that allows you to tweak the tuning of the high, mid and low frequency of the in-ear monitor.

 

[Andykong]

I don’t agree with that popular wisdom. For me, it’s not as simple as “A01 is warm, T01 is bright.” I find each module has its strengths, and has a particular sound signature, but they each play with headphones differently and matchups you think would be great sometimes don’t work. In fact, I like T01 specifically with some headphones that are themselves quite bright.

I honestly couldn’t predict what a headphone would sound like on A01/T01 without trying it.

Very well said, this is spot on.

 

[Andykong]

Have you tried T5p or owned one before?
How is the DAC part of A01? Still warm and musical?

@Andykong somewhere mentioned before that 3.5mm line out is better for desktop amplification, though I'm not going for high amplification and power as such.

Theoretically this might vary among different Audio Motherboards because the line out design rest within each module, but since the line out design of A01 and T01 are basically the same, so this suggestion is applicable to the N6ii in general for the moment.

Take a look at the Functional diagram of A01 Audio Motherboard (available HERE)

The 3.5mm line out is a dedicated circuit from LPF (it is NOT a direct output from DAC) while the 4.4mm line out is a shared output that go through the headphone amplifier circuit.

You can also check out the line out specification of A01 Audio Motherboard:

The 3.5mm LO is rated at 10 kOhm while the 4.4mm line out is only rated at 600 ohm. If you were connected the N6ii to a desktop amplifier, the input impedance will most likely be 10 kOhm or above, that's why we described the 3.5mm LO of N6ii as desktop grade line out but we didn't mention that with the 4.4mm LO.

Give it 50 hrs of burn in.

I came up with the name Loplop in the early 1980s, pre modem era, and it became my alter ego. I was floored when I discovered Ernst in college!

I need a tubed headphone amp. I’ve been using tubes in my hifi for decades, but never head-fi (although I did have a hybrid ALO for a hot second).

When you said you need a tube headphone amp, do you mean something like this?
