Question; with so incredibly many options for the sound - do you tend to land on one setting for all? One for each IEM/headphone? Type of music?
I like watching live concert videos - is it possible get video on lage TV panel via N8ii's USB C output (somthing like USB C to HDMI converter) ?

Hi @Andykong, asking for a little bit of housekeeping: I (and I guess we all) would be very grateful if you could edit your post number 2 here. Please add links to your posts like
Thanks a lot in advance.

- USB 3.0 input working as of firmware 1.6 (but keep the link to the USB 2.0 explanation as well)
- Announcements and explanations of all firmware updates

Hi, what is this support and this cooling system? or can we buy it?
Cayin is a god!!
The only downside is heat.
But that too was solved.

Folks, in case someone - like me - happens to be interested in R2R DACs/DAPs because of their much-touted sonic qualities, here is a little heads-up notice. Most of the folks here will know about R2R and DSD story; I just learned about this during the past days.
R2R DACs struggle a lot with the DSD format, since their conversion-to-analog principle and the 1-bit DSD format are contradictory to each other.
If you happen to like DSD albums, and happen to be interested in HiBy‘s latest R2R flagship DAP RS8, then you might want to take a good look at the RS8 thread here, starting from HERE and extending currently to HERE. It is observed - at least by some - that the RS8 seems to continue a somewhat flawed DSD playback as the RS6 did.
I just thought some of you might find this hint useful.
That is utterly fantastic! I whish it was available for sale!

A great comment on the N8ii, RS8 and DX320. I can fully subscribe to what you say about the N8ii, very similar experience to mine. Enjoy!Interesting thanks for info. I myself am torn between the n8ii, (which has the slight increase in vividness over the RS8, and reference tunning I Iike), and the RS8 (which has the sublime naturalness of sound). Getting one over the other produces anxiety in the brain(!), lol.
Coming from the dx320, I find the n8ii to truly be on another level above, and while the amount of difference is subjective to the observer, I find the N8ii sound the most balanced and reference tunning when using maximum power output and tubes engaged. It has a bit more bass dynamic punch and trebles air, plus that slight familiarity in ROHM performance that the dx320 has.
It is a hard decision to make that can only be decided thru personal taste.
Also I didn't feel the n8ii unit to get hot, only nice and warm.
I don't see any DAPs reaching the level of the n8ii & RS8.
From my observations, I don't believe any AKM DAP can reach the level of the ROHM chips, and view older R2R DAPs as not being as involving as the D/S dacs. For instance the n8ii has a great ability to be reference and relaxed and large soundstage while at same time being exciting and involving. Vivid detailing, almost glowing. It may be many attributes combined with also the tubes, but I believe much of the liveliness comes from them ROHM chips (coming from the dx320).
excellent travail, avez-vous les fichiers dxf, solidworks... qui me permettront de les faire à mon travail

Faites-le librement et utilisez-le !!
ça me rassure aussi, j'ai le dx320 avec amp13 et je viens de commander le cayin n8ii. J'ai aussi hésité avec le rs8 mais il est difficile de se le procurer en europe. j'espère que le cayin fonctionnera bientôt avec roonUn excellent commentaire sur les N8ii, RS8 et DX320. Je peux entièrement souscrire à ce que vous dites sur le N8ii, expérience très similaire à la mienne. Apprécier!
Je comprends les maux de cerveau et de cœur à propos de N8ii par rapport à RS8…
BTW, je vous vois jouer Time Out de Brubecks… de bon goût !
Side note, do i spy the Odyssey? Would love to hear any quick thoughts you may have on how they pair with the N8ii?
