Was great BUT!!!
Well built and works great. Out of the 4 DAPs I have (two FiiOs, one HiFiman and the Cayin) this is the best value and combination of features. I love that it has both tube and balanced outputs. I use the tube output in linear mode for my IEMs and the balanced mode for my large cans. It has plenty of power and drives them all very well. So far battery life has been good. We'll see how it holds up over time. My older ibasso unit battery died in about a year and half while both FiiO units and the HiFiman are still going strong after 2 and 3 years. The sound is musical, crisp, clean with both punch and clarity without getting harsh. Once again it scores a high value in sound alone. The interface and controls all work well but it would be nice if the screen was full length like the FiiO units. The screen IS bright and clear. It does NOT get hot running in the tube mode, only mildly warm after a couple of hours but not any warmer than my other DAPs. About the only questionable aspect is the green and gold leather case but that is growing on me. This DAP is definitely Value Town, strongly recommended... I purchased this unit June of 2021 and now in August of 2022 (just out of the 1 year warranty) the battery is exploding. The unit is still working but the battery has swollen up and broken out of the case both front and back. Both the front and rear panels are now pushed out about 1/4 inch and still swelling. This unit has never been exposed to heat or been in a hot car, only used in my home. This is VERY disappointing and tells me the quality of Cayin products is subpar.
