Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP

[jmills8]

It does to me, I've actualy just fixed it at a 384khz now, i.e. turned off follow source sample freq and turned off upsample.

just going by my hearing , playing the same track on Neutron and Only I music apps. the Only I has a much more open , clear , wider sound. maybe it has to do with Eqing.

An update on my battery drain issue-- last night I left the player out with the wifi and bluetooth off only this time I unplugged my headphones. When I woke up in the morning the battery was on the same percent as it was when I went to bed so I think having my headphones plugged in the night before may have been the problem.

I would try leaving the headphone plugged in but have the headphone rested above , higher than the dap , so all the juice goes down into the dap.

Very funny. In all seriousness though I don't think any current goes in to the DAP but I wonder if having them plugged in activates one of the processes in the DAP which is what was causing the battery drain the other day. If you have an alternate (serious) explanation for what was causing the battery drain the other day please skip the mockery and share it with me.

Good old Uapp sounding pretty good.

It looks like you have a DSD 2.8Mhz file and you are allowing UAPP/Android to re-sample it to 44.1Khz, are you testing us?

I noticed it wasn't sounding as clear. how do I improve the sound , where do I go to fix it ? thxs

I couldn't get UAPP working with the N6ii and the "HiRes" driver, so I'm not sure if the UAPP HiRes driver supports the N6ii yet.

Anyway you need to select the HiRes driver and ensure that bit perfect mode is enabled, that should get you up and running with UAPP playing DSD's without re-sampling.

Or just play your HiRes stuff in the Cayin Music app which does a very good job of playing DSD's even in an ISO format.

I just DL Uapp today and forgot about that setting. this.

Hmm, gotta try this test as well. Maybe there is some relay switch triggered when headphones plugged in.

I'm pressuming you mean Onkyo music app pal. I love onkyo music and its touch eq but it seems to to use androids audio stack for me on N6ii, M11, R6Pro, DX220.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe that first night-- where it dropped 15% in 7 hours overnight in idle-- was a fluke or just a result of some initializing processes of a new DAP. I've had it in idle with my earphones plugged in for the last 3 hours and the battery life has not dropped 1%.
