Oh thanks I will definitely check with them
I had few more questions if I use spotify and n8 only have aptx bluetooth is that enouf to transfer spotify premium quality to the maximum possible way?
Can we charge the N8 while in usb audio in mode ( from iphone or android to N8 )
What is the life span of the tubes?
I am also woried about floor noise. I have very sensitive iems empire ears phantom. They can pick noise very easily if the source has bad isolation or any other type of noise introductions. How well is N8 in that regard?
Example ibasso dx200 has noises with my iems.
The current BT implementation in N8 is mainly for HiByLink requirements. With aptX available for transmit only, it is not an ideal setup for wireless DAC for streaming from mobile phone to N8. We'll come back to optimize the BT receive feature later but this is not a priority feature right now, so we don't have a delivery date on this requirement.
You can charge the N8 while you use it as USB DAC to a computer. Not sure when you connect to a dedicated USB Transport as that will depends on the implementation of the USB Source.
Nutube 6P1 is rated at 30,000 hours operations. That is 5,000 working days if you use the N8 6 hours per day, or 13.7 years if you use N8 365 days per year.
The feedback on N8 is generally a quiet DAP, but we better wait for a month or two when we have more feedback form first-hand owner, especially when you are related the DAP to a particular brand of IEMs
Oh what is nos or oversamplings I mean the N8 is bit perfect no? I never heard of these features yet. And chord has there own fpga to. This means the fpga of cayin is there own coding and engineering like chord?
Sorry but this segment of information is completly unknown for me a new territory of physics...
In short, an oversampling DAC will use a digital filter to either interpolate between samples to achieve a higher sampling rate, or to trans-code the original music document from PCM to DSD, or vice versa.
N8 use AKM AK4497EQ without oversampling enabled, but we won't claim it as bit-perfect DAC because AKM involves one non-defeatable user-selected digital filter, although this filter has nothing to do with over-sampling, it will inevitably alter the bit-level data. You can roll back a few page to the original discussion of NOS approach in this thread (here) or refer to other related discussion in HeadFi forum.
