Hmmm. Bright + bright = super bright? I haven’t heard the Rn6 but I think I read that the treble is quite elevated. N8ii certainly is bright sounding, too much for my taste and the main reason I sold it.
I found RN6 with the Shanling m9 (warm) and Cayin C9 (warm) quite bright leaning, at least with red modules. I’ve heard n8ii is quite neutral so id imagine some would find it too bright. Try to demo if you can.Hmmm. Bright + bright = super bright? I haven’t heard the Rn6 but I think I read that the treble is quite elevated.

320 Max - very high fidelity and amazing technicals, different level of performance compared to any other “daps” available right now. Screen isn’t that good, it looks cheap, has sensitivity issues, and the bezels are ugly. Also the volume control won’t be for everyone and isn’t ideal for very sensitive IEMs
M9+ - one of the most refined warm sources available, excellent amp section and hardware, android 10 feels aged but it’s very smooth and works well, the dap gets warm with use
HiBy R6 Pro 2 - best bang for buck, lovely use case, battery life isn’t its strong point but it’s good enough, drives IEMs just fine despite its weaker power output
Hiby RS8 - r2r and android, my fav dap to use probably. Great hardware and UI, battery life is incredible. Treble lacks refinement which makes me hear it as “a little digital” for an r2r source
SP3000 - awesome tonality and pitch black background but the amp lacks driving power/dynamics, I also dislike you can’t scale the display size for sideloaded android apps
N7 - lovely smooth and organic sound, addicting/immersive staging and imaging. Amp section is poor with power hungry IEMs and not quiet enough for sensitive gear, which is it’s main letdown
N8ii - slightly bright leaning/revealing sound, Swiss Army knife of daps but overall tone stays the same, gets very warm during usage and battery takes a while to charge
M2 - some of the nicest mids I’ve heard from a source, very well layered with a hint of warmth. Good resolution and very natural bass decay, treble is meh and throws it off with some IEMs synergy, OS is slow
Not a DAP but honorable mention to the Tsuranagi + Yatono ultimate mini IC combo, one of the nicest tonalities I've heard from any amp. Slight warm neutral tint with excellent textures and full bodied image. Stage organization is top class as well as imaging, not as dynamic or spacious as the 320 Max but this has much better volume control that you can really tweak down to finest levels. Unfortunately the price is just way too high for me, if I could sell my 320 Max and buy this and have about $1000 left over in my pocket I would, but as of now I would have to invest even more money so the value proposition just isn't there given this doesn't outperform 320 Max by itself across the board.
If you had to roll with one dap based just on sound what would you choose?
The n8ii with the Rn6 red module is really good. I wouldn't say that either are bright. I found the sp3k to be bright. The rn6 and n8ii are both warm to my ears. Ymmv.Hmmm.

In no particular oder: HiBy RS8, Cayin N8ii, Cayin N7, and for a budget pick, the HiBy R6Pii - though it has some issues.Hi Folks, I hope everyone is doing well.

Can I ask then for a recommendation because this will be a blind buy , thanks if you can reply .Hmmm. Bright + bright = super bright? I haven’t heard the Rn6 but I think I read that the treble is quite elevated. N8ii certainly is bright sounding, too much for my taste and the main reason I sold it.
