Is everything ok? I did post recently asking about using a USB C cable as I've just upgraded my laptop to a new Dell XPS 17 which has 4 x Thunderbolt 3 ports. Here is what seems to be a good quality Thunderbolt 3 cable

Do you think I can use this for data transfer and charging with my Dell XPS 17?

Yes , but last month Cayin put out a third N8 upgrade. Think limited to 100 or so units.

When I tried to transfer an album recently my N8 BB wouldn't become visible to my laptop, I'm hoping this new Audio Driver will resolve this problem, will find out very soon.Cayin has announced a new USB Audio driver V4.86.0. This should resolve the recent Win10 incompatible problem. If you are using the previous version USB Audio Driver without any problem, you don't have to upgrade the USB Audio Driver, they are functionally identical.

I feel that the Hugo 2 is a bit leaner than the N8 which might explain why we both prefer the N8? Having said that I'm listening to the new Alanis Morisette album 'Such Pretty Forks in the Road' as I type this via Spotify Free (to decide whether I wish to buy the album) and the Hugo 2 + Utopia + OIDIO cable combo sounds fantasticI took delivery of a Hugo 2 the other day, bought it out of curiosity to compare with N8 a

I see you mentioned the Utopia. How does it sound with the N8 and can you please compare it to some IEM’s or other HP’s if you have them. I have been thinking about getting a headphone. Tks. I also have the Hugo 2 as well. Tks.I feel that the Hugo 2 is a bit leaner than the N8 which might explain why we both prefer the N8?

What we all like about a particular brand/model of headphone is often a contentious business lol. I love the sound of the Utopias having owned the AKG K812's previously, I think the slightly warmer style of the N8 matches perfectly with the detailed Utopias and they have plenty enough bass (for me). I use the N8 in Balanced and got OIDIO Cables to make me a balanced Mongrel series cable having previously used Moon Audio Black Dragon.I see you mentioned the Utopia.
