Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube
Feb 17, 2022 at 5:15 PM Post #261 of 5,547
I'm interested in what body part I'll have to sell to afford one. I'm hoping only an arm or a leg and not a kidney or something.
As long as you don't sell both your ears, you'll definitely need those or it'll defeat the purpose of getting one. 😃

Yes, we are kind of busy right now. :beerchug:

We need to sort the Nutubes by hand, rigorously tested and matched before installation. When we use only 1 piece of Nutube in N8, the screening process is a lot more straightforward.

So stay tuned, we'll surprise you very soon. :wink:

The original N8 only have one Nutube, so Dual Timber only works with 3.5mm phone out.

There is only one NuTube by Korg, model 6P1, available now. So, any DAP/amp with NuTube will be using the same module. Some use a single one, as it was mentioned N8 had one, while others use dual for a truly balanced signal path like in C9. From the info revealed by Cayin in the first post of this thread, N8ii will have two.

Good time to release, lucky people get their tax refunds, no recent total DAP releases that are currently available.
