Is there a coaxial input on this or is it USB only? I'm still looking for a coax DAC as there seem to be very few on the market :/

To utilize its DAC section, i believe its only via USB.

iBassp offers some nice amps with coaxial input since tiehr pwn portable DAP all have coax out

Ok, thanks for your help
I know iFi also produce some but they get very expensive...

Yes, C5DAC DAC function is USB only. C5DAC has Coax, but it's only for output.

Hi all.  Just finished my review of the C5 DAC: LINK.

EDIT: Just wanted to make sure I mentioned in this thread that while I think the C5DAC is a good piece of kit what holds it back from being great in my opinion is that it gets much too loud much too quickly on low gain. I think Cayin should think seriously about making low gain much less powerful!

Please Cayin,Thomas Cayin.

Thanks for the information @nmatheis

 
I have just measured the back of my phone and can say that C5DAC is match made in heaven for LG G3 

  Size fits perfectly! 
 
Can't wait to review this fella 

I have a lg g3 too but I'm concern the curved back won't accommodate the flat surface of the c5dac very well.

Cayin C5DAC stacks nicely with LG G3.
 
LG G4 back is curved not for only sides, also top and bottom so that may be slightly problematic...
 
I am now testing the C5DAC! So far liked its sound!

Same with the G4, they stack up very nicely. Actually the alignment is excellent. Because the top plastic part is thinner than the rest of the unit, it doesn't scratch against the camera lens.

Images of the G3 and C5 Dac are on Page 4 of this thread.

Can anyone check if the C5DAC works with Galaxy S6?
 
Probably not since they blocked usb audio out for many usb dac's, but I know a few still work.
 
Thanks!
