Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP

Dec 3, 2019 at 9:15 PM Post #2,866 of 8,308
I meant a module E02 for example ... same specs as E01 just with 4.4 instead of 3.5 :D

There might be a E02 down the road, we adopted this numbering system to enable unlimited possibilities, but it won't be Pure Class A and 4.4m , Please read my explanation, I tried my best to tell you why we can't do that in that post.

Really pleased with what Cayin is doing so far, I may have to revisit the N6ii and try the T01 and eventually E01 as I found the A01 to be a bit too warm for my tastes.

I think you should start planning your CanJam NYC visit :D

Waa great a new e01 pretty awsome !

I have to admit I really love T01 in fact I can confirm that this amp way superior over A01. It also narrowed the sq gap to my wm1z sooo close that some may not even hear the difference .

But me I am a professional audiophile I can hear it hahaHa )


I am worried about the E01 power output its only 105 mw. Ummm maybe for iems is not a problem but what about headphones?
Even my phantoms or my trio at 5.5 ohm will get penalized and probably get only 30mw? At 5.5 ohms.
Please need some clarification here thanks.

Pure Class A amplification is fairly uncommon in Personal Audio, we don't have a lot of reference or reviews that cover this topic very well, but in speaker application, 10W Pure Class A is very different from 10W Class AB. So let's wait for the impression from users and Reviewers, I am sure someone will compare the T01 and E01 side by side with demanding headphones.

I also feel some discomfort about Eq, I know the cayin music app has one buuttt. It does not work with spotify and thats a big down side.
See in sony dap you got a global eq that affects all across the system.
Its very simple not complex and thats handy.
Can Cayin do the same ? Implement an eq into the settings menu like you did when you press the parameters of sound. Its embedded into the system.
I would love to see cayins eq implementation in that way please.


I also would love to see more amps in future! And a 4.4 and tubes dedicated spiralized amps would be amazing.

Suggestion you can make amps slightly longer, even if they extend a little by 1cm its all good for me

With our current product roadmap, we don't have any plan to make "longer" Audio Motherboard, there are enough options on our waiting list to keep us busy for quite a while already, and these are all within the current physical dimension of Audio Motherboard chassis.

A 50W Pure Class A amplifier will easily outperformed a 100W Class AB amplifier when come to driving capability. So let's wait for the impression from users and Reviewers, I am sure someone will compare the T01 and E01 side by side with demainding headphones.

Oh I have no doubt about E01 SQ I am sure it will bring a lot of good emotional feelings.
Lets wait patiently and hope @twister6 get hes module as quickly possible for a review. )



I do wish cayin would add the global eq function for all system wide.
Please )

So, class A is really about being able to drive harder to power headphones? From my limited research, it seems class A has lower distortion due to how it operates, but I guess my question is for IEMs, especially ones that are more sensitive, ones that I already run at maybe 20 volume on low gain, is this just something thats going to have way more power than I could ever need? Do I still not have a good grasp here of the benefits of class A? Or is it just something that may be overkill for my needs? I also realize that a different dac here will likely have its own characteristics, so there is that as well.

Regardless, I am very interested to see some reviews and impressions. And on a related question, should I be interested in picking one up, which distributor in the US will these be going to first?

Version 1.18EN

the strange thing is , that it didn’t boot for 5 mins ( around ) like if the battery is empty


Hard to say , might be the battery chip bug.
It have miss read then after reset it self
It came back to normal?

Id say continue using it as it is in hope that it was just a one time thing.
If persist then try to see with cayin what's wrong.

Goodluck
