Always a fan of your reviews - I’m new to portable audio and I’m looking for an all-in-one solution for Tidal streaming, offline MQA, passthrough DAC capability and on-board EQ. Compared to the AK offerings, how does Cayin stack up? Is this an all-in-one portable solution?

It's competitive and fairly all in one if you ask me. No native MQA unfolding as mentioned in my main review, rather it's software level rendering.

Any disadvantages to this? I’m under the impression it will still unpack, but possibly not to 192/24 - is that correct? My apologies I didn’t see your first review on this, but I’ll go watch now

Should go to 88.2 or 96k, depends on what TIDAL offers.

Nice sound , very detailed , wide soundstage. Weird looking dap.

It does look weird. Looks like a prop out of a science fiction film!

So SP1000m or N6ii + Modules?

So SP1000m or N6ii + Modules?

SPKM is boring. So get N6ii with switchable modules you can listen to different sounds IMO.

N6ii the winner in amplification & black background?

So SP1000m or N6ii + Modules?

I have compared sp1000m and N6ii side by side. The first one is not bad in terms of SQ, but for me N6ii sounds more emotional and exciting.
