looks like a player only/non-streaming DAP to me.

Black or yellow leather N7 cases looks very beautiful

“Never be the same again”

Yellow leather case? Interesting....

No wifi/BT icons on screen.
1 micro sd on screen, so maybe dual slot.
Only mongo OS and a battery life of 30h/40h… ?
Native R2R ?

I will need more to be impressed…

You may be right as Cayin’s Android DAPs bear a ii in their name (N6ii, N8ii).

C9 but N is for Network… so it’s a Bluetooth/portable DAC

A dedicated Linux, perhaps windows based dap. Linux would make more sens and run better, my guess. Perhaps spdif input, not just output. Adjustable gain in fine increments like volume control on most daps. Perhaps m.2 SSD. Dual micro SD slot. Upsampling chip for everything to dsd 512. Analog eq. perhaps e ink display for back.

A SIM slot for mobile broadband? 5G streaming?

Linux + upsampling (just like neutron) would be a nice surprise.

Hiby already did that with the R8 Stainless Steel version.

Windows DAP already there- Zishan did it years ago.
Linux DAP was also my bet, one can only hope
