What processor does this device use? Still a rockchip derivative?

 

[Mimouille]

Well around 20k and 20k is not a large difference...so I imagine it should be around Lotoo Touch pricing. Eager to listen to both side by side.

Not sure if this is real

Beautiful but not ergonomic, it's waaay too wide.

Another "hint" just before I get onboard my flight to Munich

...

1. Dual AK4497
2. choice of Direct Heated Triode vacuum tube and full balanced solid state
   
3. I2S Digital output (via micro HDMI)
4. full balanced line out
5. 3D toughened Gorilla glass (rear panel)

Did anyone get all 5 points correct? or 4 points out of 5? Please show your hands if you have four out of five correct?

What does "Wipe?" refer to? I haven't spotted a miniature windshield wiper blade attached to the display glass. Or is that an add-on accessory?

I saw the Chinese version of the picture before. This is not even a direct translation. The chinese version appears to be a poem.

 

[chambek]

Yes the original a poem
‘Just a snap of the fingers, breeze of air wiping through...’ too difficult to translate.

I have put the N8 @ High End 2018 Press Release to First post of page 1, hopefully that will provide a clear picture of what Cayin N8 is going to be.

Regarding the game to speculate the key selling points of N8, these are the keywords in my Press Release:

1. Dual AK4497
2. choice of Direct Heated Triode vacuum tube and full balanced solid state
   
3. I2S Digital output (via micro HDMI)
4. full balanced line out
5. 3D toughened Gorilla glass (rear panel)

With the right dose of LSD, and enough focus and concentration, I think we can bend reality so that Pinky got all five pints correct.

I think you will be getting a review unit from Cayin regardless lol

Also..."pints?"

i was addressing to different characteristics of the screen, and wipe refer to a touch screen action, e.g.: you can wipe from top to bottom when you want to go through a long list quickly. I am hinting that N8 uses a touch screen. The two scroll wheel on the side are the main control of N8, but without a touch screen, this design won't work very well because going through a list of 300 hundred songs will be painful, but with touch screen, the design make more sense.

You "swipe" from top to bottom, not wipe.

Doesn't translate well I guess :/

Sorry for criticizing like that, but these volume knob and round switch seems out of proportion for the body size. Or is it only just me?

I like the knobs except for its chrome finish. I'd take matte gold like on huawei phones over chrome gold any day. The gold of the WM1Z will also do nicely.

Chrome is no longer fitting in this day and age.
