Well said. All the talk about: no Wi-Fi, no BT, no this or that. I'm just looking for the musicality of the dap, and that it functions as intended without too many glitches with the software. My only concern, and albeit minor, is I hope Cayin doesn't quickly abandon the software update process. I feel the N3Pro (that I have and love) update lifespan was cut short. My 2¢... I'm saving for this one...How about moving the phone away, problem solved and just enjoying the music? Cayin already told us no streaming and those who buy it will be exactly who should buy it. Maybe this isn't for you?
I like this idea of a Puritan DAP that you buy and just focus on listening to music. FYI local music on a quality shielded Micro SD Card always sounds a little better than the same Hi-Res streamed file that has to go through all that WIFI or BT noise, and go through onboard Memory which isn't always the highest quality even on $1000 DAPs I've tested (N3 Ultra has 16GB but reserved for system use only)
So again let's appreciate;
1) - Cayin made another small portable Tube DAP.
2) - They removed as much interference as possible to give us the cleanest sound quality they can at a mere $529.
3) - We get the real Cayin Music software as on their more expensive DAPs.
4) - We now get the tube sound via Balance 4.4.
That's enough to make me happy but if it's not for you, wait for something else from someone else or Cayin down the line.
We ask for too much functionality sometimes, then complain when it doesn't work well together.
Cheers
