Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP

The long-awaited N6iii is coming, if you'll attend the CanJam Socal 2024, make sure you drop by the MusicTeck booth to check out the engineering sample of N6ii with C201 Audio Motherboard.

The design of the Cayin N6ii was something nice and unique. It looks like a symbiosis of iBasso and Shanling and button from Astell&Kern :triportsad:

Thanks mate. Well that is a pity. I'm sure they could have made it compatible it if they wanted. It feels like a strange decision at a time when the market for high end DAPs seems to have levelled out these days.
no problem mate. maybe they decide to go with a new design or a new market for selling more new products, i think ibasso daps able to changes amp cards from their 1st dx150 until dx240 if i am not mistaken? that quite a lifespan. yes probably the company bussines aim changes so they go with a hole new products. but with the fast technology development in just 3-5 years a flagship could turns to midrange levels when compared with new flagship, not long ago i've demo hiby r8ii and the quality make my N6ii seems like an entry level dap 😂

We mentioned one new feature in our product announcement specifically: the new Audio Motherboards are secured to the main chassis through a pair of toolless quick-release latches, we have received a lot of requests to simplify the Audio Motherboard installation process so that users can swap their Audio Motherboards swiftly. We heard the request and we put that as a high-priority requirement when we start N6iii development.

Once we changed the structural design of the Audio Motherboard, it became impossible to make the N6iii compatible with the N6ii Audio motherboards. This is an engineering-driven solution, not a marketing or revenue-generating plot.

Yes- us folks of more modest income have found ourselves in an odd place getting into this hobby. I bought the Susvaras a couple of years ago via a very good deal and love their sound a lot but have struggled to build a chain worthy of them. N6mkii with the R01 module has a really smooth sound but cannot drive them. All my IEMS are more than fine AND I recently found by pairing it (or my other DAP Hiby R8) with the Cayin C9 the pairing can drive my Hifiman Arya V2 VERY well- in fact I have never heard that set sound so good as that way. Excellent stage tonality across the spectrum That after carefully scrimping and saving to buy a high quality desktop chain. Finding the right synergy for the SQ you are looking for seems to be really key.

Hi welcome to the Forum!
Do check out the Posting Guidelines here. If followed this will help you have a long and happy association with the Forum. It’s a great community, but there can be strong opinions at times!

I had a very similar problem about a year ago, my N6MK2 was behaving similarly, in my case, it would boot up partially and then reboot again over and over, in a never-ending cycle until the battery exhausted itself again.

Anyway, in your situation, it is a lot more clear, and that is good. Unfortunately, the battery in this unit is not user exchangeable, you will need to send it back to the manufacturer in China. I did this, the battery exchange cost is about US $25, and the round-trip takes about 4 weeks. This is well worth doing, this is a great little player. Don’t be discouraged,Cayin’s customer service is legendary!

Copying in @Andykong, he can help you get started.
