Cayin has announced that this will take quite a while tho.
I think right now is a good time to buy any Cayin DAP without fear of tomorrow having a successor announced.
Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

Your question was very clear, and Yasick didn't answer it.
I do not have answer to give you, but I've often been looking for the answer to your question, for a long time, so I'll be following this thread.

I think it's different. You need to see N7 and N8 as specific signature. N8 having many mode and little more refined than N7.
C9 will works with both of them adding the warm of the tubes of the original device signature.
Hummmm…
I don’t get you…
You can add versality in N7 signature with C9. Class A/AB, transistor vs tubes…
N8II is an all in one, instead of having 2 devices.
The main difference for me, is Dac part and architecture. Rohm vs 1 bit.
And maybe power, I think C9 is more powerful than N8II.
The question is which one (N7 + C9 vs N8II) has the best treble extension, and the most transparent mis-highs ?

Uhmmm…
Non ti capisco...
Puoi aggiungere versatilità nella firma N7 con C9. Classe A/AB, transistor contro valvole...
N8II è un tutto in uno, invece di avere 2 dispositivi.
La differenza principale per me è la parte Dac e l'architettura. Rohm contro 1 bit.
E forse la potenza, penso che C9 sia più potente di N8II.
La domanda è: quale (N7 + C9 vs N8II) ha la migliore estensione degli alti e i misalti più trasparenti?

From what I have been able to understand, the C9 adds little to the n8ii compared to the n7, which is why I am curious about the comparison, it also seems that the latter has better staging and a slightly more analogue/thicker sound with less detail..Hummmm…

N8 + C9 is very different from N8II tubes. I love the N8II tubes but C9 is more perceptible.
Since it is the last stage it's has more influence on the result but now you manage 2 bricks.
Also yes Rohm has smth very atypical

What do you mean with that?Also yes Rohm has smth very atypical

Something similar to 'velvet' in AKM449x or typical noise in camera sensor.

That sounds appealing, maybe I should get a 2nd hand N8ii at some point...

Hello folks. Any recommendations for cable to connect n8ii with desktop dac through i2s. The inputs has different sizes. I ordered cayin i2s cable ,but it doesn't fit. Thank you
Search for "mini hdmi to hdmi" text, and take what price range you prefer.
One example:
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-Mini-HDMI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B014I8UEGY
Does this have mini-hdmi on one side? Normal hdmi plug does not fit into N8ii.

You're totally right! I found this cable while on linsoul by did not check. Thanks for the correction.
