I’ve had the N8ii running since 10am, plugged in about an hour and 1/2 ago at 74% holding at 74% but not increasing charge. Maybe the N8ii uses a similar amount of power as it’s able charge?

Yes, that's how the numbers added up. Try to reboot the N8ii to confirm the battery reading, If the battery remain 74% after reboot, that mean you have no problme to charge and play at the same time.

Strange, mine is at 100% it charged while using while playing and downloading with Qobuz... I started at 69%

I’m downloading tidal playlists, so using WiFi, in P+ mode tube AB might be the why mines happily just holding steady.

Non qc (think mine is 10w?) seems to hold % stable during play whilst qc can play and add %.

Yeah, we're trying to determine what's going on with that. I need more charge cycles to get behavior understood.

On a side note as I've been messing with sound settings I am finding the DAC filters to follow the amp class more than the Tube/SS timbre options.
Class A = Fast Roll Off
Class AB = Slow

Best Fourte so far for pop stuff:
High Gain, P, Tube, Class AB, Slow Roll Off

Oh yeah, best the Noir has ever sounded. Luxurious. And even feels like its almost new again. Extreme makeover, IEM edition.

Who's having charging oddities that is also using UAPP? Too limited to call this an experiment, but at 94% I switched to the Cayin app and it was done charging in ~ 30 mins. Might be a thing until full UAPP support? idk, ymmv

Wow just wow. 30 seconds in and damn

iPad 20W charger is charging fast and working well... but I set it on the FiiO DK3 with fan as well...

 

[Auricon]

N8ii gently sits on FiiO DK3 stand (it's rubber padded in case you wonder otherwise I would have kept the case)

I have grown so used on having this when I listen at my desk, so nice to have the DAP standing up and fan can cool it down a bit too

I have to try it w/o the case. In the case, I needed make sure one end doesn't end up in the stand opening.

Thank you for your positive and helpful reply, although you misinterpreted the jist of my post, I didn't say that a charger is a deal breaker for me - far from it, this would be a silly reaction, I was just expressing my opinion that it's wrong not to include one because of the frustrations and difficulties some customers may come up against.

I just want to say Huge thanks to Cayin for not raising the price on the N8ii considering the amount of improvements and changes made to get a better sound even if they got rid of a few accessories that came with the N8.
I have my N8ii already and so far it seems to be charging with my old Nokia charger from my old Windows phone.
On a lighter note I won't mind a charger from Cayin though if Andy would be so kind.

 

[ECKHUAAA]

Yeah, it can fairly shift some air!

And let me add N8ii also can drive, in Tube mode, P, AB, Hdb I had to keep volume at 60+- not to be too loud but will go to 70 when taking a walk outside.
But OMG, N8ii has away of making my Hifiman HE1000SE 96db/watt disappear on my head with its very real solid natural images ....amazing feat

I'll check how well it can drive the Stealth, M17 on DC is just enough so I don't expect miracles but we'll see...
