The DAC portion, LPF section, amp section, and other discrete circuits have all been included in its design. Cayin's brand-new N7 guarantees superb sound qualities in a portable form factor. The player is compatible with all cutting-edge features, including open Android 12 OS, Class A/AB Amp modes, high-power output (250mW@32 Ohms 3.5mm Single-Ended & 500mW@32 Ohms 4.4mm Balanced), pure 1-Bit DSD DAC, 3.5mm/4.4mm headphone/line out & pre out ports, etc. It's the ideal portable Digital Audio Player, promising an extraordinaire clear audio experience!

Cayin, with their brand-new N7, has broken all barriers when it comes to the design of the Digital Audio Player's internal components. The Cayin N7 is a voyager of an unexplored frontier. It is the first-ever DAP to feature pure Discrete 1-Bit DAC architecture. A team of engineers at Cayin have incorporated a Discrete model even though it is technically more demanding, allowing more room to fine-tune the sound signature and deliver superior audio performance. The Cayin N7 consists of Discrete Resistor networks for DSD format. The Discrete 1-Bit DAC converts digital to analogue signal through a resistor network comprising 128 pcs (4x32) high-precision Thin Film resistors. The FPGA enhances digital audio and outputs digital bitstream for fully balanced decoding. The Discrete 1-Bit DAC can decode PCM 32Bit/768kHz (Pulse Code Modulation) and DSD64 to DSD512 (Direct Stream Digital). The Cayin N7 also employs TWO Femtosecond Crystal Oscillators with low phase noise (-100dBc) to facilitate high precision low jitter playback. Low jitter minimises digital artefact and enhances the musicality and naturalness of digital audio playback. Delve into pure sonic bliss with the voyager of the unexplored frontier - the N7!

The Cayin N7 has 4-channels of 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 voltage amplification and final output stage. This architecture delivers high-power low-noise output with optimization for low-impedance IEM and less power-demanding headphones. The Cayin N7 incorporates dual Amplifier operation allowing you to switch seamlessly between Class A and Class AB amplification modes through a pull-down menu. Class A offers Low distortion and optimum playback conditions with a silky smooth, warm and lush vocal presentation. Class A mode is best suited for sentimental music with loads of details and macro dynamics. It is very responsive to busier tracks like film scores and orchestral music. Class AB mode offers clear, tight, and punchier bass response and open presentation with high dynamic range. Level up your listening experience by entering into the ocean of sonic extravaganza!

How is the DAC architecture like on the Cayin N7?

It is the first-ever DAP to feature pure Discrete 1-Bit DAC architecture. A team of engineers at Cayin have incorporated a Discrete model even though it is technically more demanding, allowing more room to fine-tune the sound signature and deliver superior audio performance.

What are the sampling/decoding rates supported?

It can decode up to PCM 32Bit/768kHz (Pulse Code Modulation) and DSD64 to DSD512 (Direct Stream Digital).

Does it support MQA?

Yep! It does support 16X MQA decoding.

What is MQA and how does it make a difference or how is it different from regular PCM & DSD files?

Our ability to hear well allows us to pinpoint the source of sounds. Our brains create a 3D acoustic image as sounds arrive at us, spaced out by milliseconds. This same capacity enables us to place the various instruments according to their sounds during a live performance. It's also the reason why listening to live music seems so intense and emotional, in contrast to recorded music, which frequently feels flat. The first solution to do so is MQA, which will take you back to the original performance by capturing this important timing information.

How does MQA work?

Transients over time are muddled when an analogue sound is translated into a digital signal, a process known as temporal blurring. As a result, recorded music sounds flat when compared to 'live' music since our ears are unable to distinguish the sources of individual sounds. This distortion can be removed with MQA to produce the most accurate 3D soundstage ever heard.

What is the Bluetooth version?

It supports Bluetooth 5.0.

What are the Bluetooth codecs supported?

It supports Bluetooth codecs, including UAT, LDAC, AAC, and SBC.

Does it have WiFi support?

It has 2.4GHz & 5GHz dual-band WiFi support enabling stronger signals for fast transfer to get your favourite music.

What is the battery life like on Cayin N7?

"The N7’s layout is excellent and it’s impressive to see how many digital and analog in- and outputs Cayin has provided. There’s not only that, there’s also the CLASS A/AB amplification circuit."

"It might actually be my go-to DAP just for the sheer fun and excitement of what it going to do to the next IEM I attach it to. Not to mention that tonally it came across as very balanced and likable in every pairing performance."

"Sonically, the N7 is one of the best performing DAPs we have tested so far with excellent detail retrieval, tonal accuracy, speed, and resolution. The Cayin N7 feels like a smarter purchase."

"The build quality is excellent on the black aluminum body and the gold-colored pieces also feel very sturdy and well-made."

"The N7 has plenty of power for most headphones, portable and full-size. I didn't have any issues with the Meze Liric or the Focal Stellia during my testing, and IEMs will also pair well."

"The discrete DAC can decode DSD512 and PCM 32bit/768kHz natively. The DAP also sports a discrete LPF circuit to tune the output of the DAC to provide a smooth and natural sound."

"So, in the heart of N7 you will find a fully balanced discrete resistor 1-bit direct DSD DAC which processes DSDs directly without conversion."
