Cayin N6ii, Unlimited Possibilities: a fully modularized smart DAP
Oct 9, 2021 at 1:18 AM Post #7,321 of 8,192
Sorry, but is there a manual on how to access the mainboard of the device? The touch screen doesn't work and after several resets I believe it's the ribbon cable loose or something. It's a real bummer, I'm stuck at the language select screen now. I suppose you will need something like the cpb heating pad to remove the glass bottom? Hope it's a simple fix.
I've never seen a manual, this video was posted earlier in the thread though.

Thank you man. I actually saw a video on how he opened up a Kann Cube, this guy is a profession. Now I hope it's not a broken cable. Sucks that I bought it from another member so probably got no consumer protection, all I could do now is to exercise my California's right to repair. But also, what a shame on a $1000 product.

Andy,
great news. Two editions would be cool, one with headphone output, one with line-out only :smile_phones:
Just dreaming ...

Yes, we can do that if we go for regular delta sigma design, we can aim at a much larger user base and variation become feasible.

I'm using a Devialet Expert amp and I am running out of amp input ports. I connected my Oppo BD105D thru digital coax cable, that work out fine, so I have one rca that I can define as digital input too... Will a 4.4mm to digital coax cable to connect my N6ii from my E02 amp card to the Devialet amp work?

N6ii can output SPDIF coaxial bitstream from its USB-C port. This is a proprietary implementation by embedding the SPDIF signal in an unoccupied pin. You need a special USB-C to RCA cable for that application:

Does it sound differently if I use it for N6ii-ti, Usb-c to Spdif vs SE to 3.5? Sorry if it sound layman. Setup mainly for car audio.
Good question... I would like to know too if what would be the bitrate coming out of usbc to coax. I think the N6ii-Ti R2R dac will be bypassed.. I'm thinking whether to get a dac dongle (usbc =>4.4mm female) instead and customize a pentaconn interface for my Bluetooth dac (rca=>4.4mm female).. So either can be serviced by one cable going to Devialet amp (4.4mm male =>rca).
