Introducing Cayin’s latest music player, the N7. The N7 DAP features a fully discrete 1-bit DAC, fully-balanced design, LPF, and headphone amplifier. The N7 is the latest in high-resolution portable sound from one of the leading audio manufacturers of premium digital music players. The Cayin flagship N8ii remains ones of the most popular DAPs on the market today, but the N7 takes a completely different approach to hi-res sound. The N7 developed the first miniature pure 1-bit DAC circuit with four rails of resistor network, resulting in astounding accuracy and likely one of the closest experiences of analog in a portable (DAP) application.
The discrete 1-bit DAC can native decode up to DSD512 and accept PCM up to 32 Bit/768kHz. Cayin also developed a discrete LPF (low pass filters) circuit to tune the output stage of their 1-bit DAC to closely resemble a smooth and natural sound signature. The headphone amplification of the N7 is nothing short of spectacular; it is fully-discrete, fully-balanced design with Cayin’s renowned Dual Amplifier Operation (DAO, choice of Class A or Class AB) feature. The N7 is Android 12 based with Google play preinstalled so it is streaming ready.
Engineering a discrete design is much more demanding, but it allows more room to fine tune the sound signature, tonal control, and deliver superior performance over an op-amp based design. Regular stereo circuits are composed of a left (L) and right (R) channel whereas a balanced circuit involves differential inputs and outputs, and hence require a L+, L-, R+, and R-. This is Cayin’s first attempt to use a discrete circuit for the DAC, LPF, and the headphone amplifier in a DAP. The N7 adopts a symmetrical double-sided PCB layout which minimizes interference and maintains the layout and length of the signal path as uniform as possible.
The N7 uses discrete resistor networks for DSD format. The micro-miniaturized 1-bit DAC circuit uses fully-discrete components.
The N7 uses a discrete-components design for closed-loop gain, negative feedback and circuit architecture of the LPF. After numerous attempts, Cayin developed a symmetric Class A push-pull amplification circuit based on dual NPN+PNP Bipolar Transistors, delivering high-performance in reduced board space and low power consumption/heat dissipation.
The N7 uses a 4-channel discrete components-based circuit with low-noise audio grade JFET (Junction gate Field-Effect Transistor) as the differential input stage and BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) as the voltage amplification and final output stage. The N7 delivers high-power low-noise output with special optimization for low impedance IEM and portable friendly headphones.
Cayin was founded in 1993. While our products carry a distinctive cultural connotation and span over a very wide price range, we are devoted to developing the best sounding audio equipment at competitive prices. We have developed over 400 products to date, ranging from CD players to speakers, all of which provide the same high-quality benchmark and attractive price to performance capabilities. Our tube amplifiers have been particularly well-received within the audio community because of this commitment. With a spectacular track record of over 70 local and international awards, Cayin has grown into one of the largest audio tube amplifier development and manufacturing facilities in the world. Cayin pays attention to detail because we believe this is what it takes to reproduce music naturally. We might have a different agenda or employ different technologies for different products, but ultimately, we serve only one purpose: to move our audience with hi-fidelity. We deliver music diligently, and we are prepared to go a long way for that. With Cayin, your music will never be the same again.
