Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP

[Deferenz]

I have done a factory reset on the N6ii w/E02.

No change. The skipping remains.

But now I have a new issue. When I press play there is a little click on the left side just before the song starts. Then when the song ends there is the same click again. It’s almost as though something is being switched on and off with each track.

I experience the clicking as well right after I updated but I restarted and it went away.

Ok, I’ll do a restart. Fingers crossed

Edit: A restart didn’t work. The click is still there. I’m going to switch it off for a bit.

So sorry to hear that. Are you both using the E02 module? Do you have other module(s) available?

What you have put in your three bullet points is exactly what I have been describing (or trying to).

I updated this morning to v2.2en. The first track I went to after the update was ‘Here’s The Tender Coming‘ by The UnThanks. I use this track to test female vocals. It is also good for this purpose we are discussing though as the singing starts immediately so you can definitely tell what has been skipped. The title of the song also happens to be the first line sung. After the upgrade I pressed play on this and it went; ‘....he tender coming’, completely skipping the ‘Here’s’ and the first part of ‘the’. This was streaming straight from Tidal. I did try a few other track I use for this issue, just hitting play that is, and so far they seem fine. I’m worried that it still happened after the update with the first song I played though.

I am going to test offline download and songs on my SD card next.

I updated to v2.2EN today and I can also confirm that playing in Tidal, I get the infamous skip.

• With master files in Tidal, skip happens when you switch tracks or jump to a different time
• Note the rate and time stamp below (88.2k@0.02 vs 352.8k@0.04). The unfolding is happening mid-song. In fact, it's not the absolute time. It's when the delayed unfold happens, you get a second of silence.
• This was confirmed with my A01/T01/E01/E02
• I haven't been able to replicate it in Cayin player
• Tidal version is 2.30.2.1009.2

I am happy to report that filter resetting issue is resolved. The E02 does seem to have a noticeable click when the amp goes into mute. But I didn't specifically note this before the update so I cannot say if it has gone worse or not. Maybe there was an amp bias change?

I'm currently using E01. I don't have the clicking anymore, but yeah MQA tracks skips in the beginning of the track.

Sorry to hear that. I don’t have the same issues with Tidal on E02. Maybe there‘s some sort of buffering problem related to this. I hope Cayin can fix this with future FW updates.

Interesting... Are you on v2.2EN or Chinese firmware by any chance? How about the Tidal version?

My guess is you need to update the N6ii firmware. With E02, it should have class AB icon on top.
