Cayin C6 Portable DAC/Amp

While you probably have the ideal headphone amplifier and DAC set-up at home, chances are you’re still relying on your iPhone’s internal chip when you’re on the run. Instead of compromising on sound quality or using an unwieldy device meant for a different use case, grab a DAC/amplifier combo that is optimized for operation with all of your iDevices: the Cayin C6 Portable DAC/Amp.

Using one of the highest quality DAC chips on the market- the Wolfson WM8741- the C6 is capable of sampling at up to 16 bits or 44.1/48 kHz. While you can plug any device through the front 1/8” jack and use the C6 as only an amplifier, it is meant mostly for iDevices, namely any iPhone after the 3GS, all iPads, and the iPod Touch. Most DACs require a separate camera accessory kit to link up to your iPhone, but the C6 connects simply through the included Lightning and 30-pin cables.

Designed to eliminate any and all ambient noise, you can turn the volume all the way down with low impedance earphones and enjoy the sweet sounds of silence. With the integrated 2500 mAh Lithium battery, you can reach full charge in under four hours and stream music for up to eight hours. Easy to take on the road, simple to plug into your iDevice, and available in an array of distinct shades, the Cayin C6 Portable DAC/Amp gives you the highest quality sound in the hardest to reach places.
