Cayin N7: A Voyager of Unexplored Frontier

[Joe Bloggs]

Help please. Is there a way to move to the current location of the album you’re listening to? On the fiio m11 there was a icon in the bottom right your could click and it would take me to the albums location in my library.

The library defaults to the start of the lobrary.

Hope this makes sense.

Yes that makes sense and we have similar function in other lists.

Just not this one at the moment

Sorry about that.

Hello dear Cayin N7 owners.
Have someone of you ever experienced the issue with volume knob when it jumps steps or even turns volume the opposite side of rotation?
If yes - how it can be fixed?
Thanks.

Hi there, no Cayin N7 here but a Hiby R8 and I fear that is common issue... Hopefully there's some easy fix, but my guess is that it's just poor know or quality issue...

So i Just received my N7 and i am absolutely enjoying the hell out of it. Running my Project M on it right now and its a pretty amazing combo. So my question is as follows. To get the best sound streaming with tidal I'm using uapp in bit perfect and native DSD. Is this the proper selection to get the best out of streaming? I did some A to be test and this is what sounds the best to my ears. I'm also running 512 dsd, class A mode, and med gain with the project M. Guys and Gals this is the best I have heard in a dap so far. I also have a Fiio M23, IBASSO dx180 and Hiby R4. I prefer the N7 over all of them. I'm treble sensitive so to have details and musicality is very important to me, the N7 does this flawlessly. My IMR Enigma should be here Monday and this is endgame territory. Any pointers I'm missing here? 135 pages is a lot to go through.

You’ll find that running 512 dsd will run the battery down REAL fast. I use it at 256 and barely notice the difference but the rest of my settings are the same as yours.

Ok cool. I set it up the same way with the hiby app. Bit perfect and native DSD selected. Yeah i cant hardly tell the difference between 512 and 256 thanks, for the pointer.

Some say using native DSD files are even better on N7 than the N7 internal PCM-DSD conversion.
Unfortunately I do not know if any DSD streaming exists, but Qobuz has a store where some of the albums are available in DSD format:

Soundliaison.com has a free sampler for download where you can compare the different formats:

So I bought Muddy Waters Folk singer on Qobuz in DSD. Man, Oh, Man! Pretty amazing stuff. I can smell the cigarettes' on his breath. It was 32 dollars well spent and i wanted a smaller room size sound and i got it with this album. It pulls you into the studio with the N7's magic. I almost opted for Billy Squire or some big production rock but I think I made the right choice with Muddy Waters to show all the N7's teeth. It is a bid mid forward an intimate in class A mode and that's what I love about it and with this recording it really shows off its stage and size of the room with its musicality, Vocals to die for. So sweet and detailed I can hear the slightest breaths man! too bad they are so damn expensive!

That sounds good even on the streaming version (converted to192kHz/24 bit from SACD) I am glad that you found something that you like.
Qobuz has a subscription called "Sublime", which entitles the subscriber for quite a discount on HiRes purchases.

Slowly make your way up to high gain Justin. I did, when you get used to it there’s even more amazing things to happen. Just takes some ear burn in to get there and slightly lower volume.

I prefer the 512 and find the battery life isn’t a problem.

Dsd is totally noticeable. I’ll be listening blind on random and can tell the dsd files. But saying that everything else sounds great too.

Have you compared the hiby player vs cayin? I’ve only used the Cayin one so far. It misses some features of the fiio player.

2tb micro sd should be here tomorrow

 

[Sullosax]

Just to confirm the 2tb micro sd came after getting it Black Friday from Amazon.

It works! 2tb micro sd loaded in my N7

£150 black friday
£250 now

Did anyone compare N7 with the Chord Hugo 2?

there is a place here in town I might be able to check out. I’ll look into it for you. They have a mojo 2 there I want to try.

My N7 is not letting me turn on WiFi or Bluetooth everything I try it crashes the settings app I've done a factory reset and tried the power button + Volume buttons restart any other suggestions ?
Its not not essential for me as I'm working from sd card but it would be nice for updates and the like.

I had a similar issue with my RS6, factory reset didn’t help, you should try to clean cache
