    Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP

    I am trying to run a signal from the R6 Pro Stainless over the supplied coaxial cable to the coaxial input on my Denafrips Aries II dac but no signal is present. I adjusted the settings to “coaxial” in the menu. Nothing. Any suggestions, or is this not possible? I saw mention of “lock” on...

    DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view

    Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread, but has anyone tried inverting the phase? I’m running Over Sampling mode with slow filter, with the phase LED lit, and I like it better. It has a deeper soundstage, and sounds more natural. -XLR out of ARES II into Denefrips Hestia preamp into Crown...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    Thanks for the response Andy. Even when the sample rate is the same between consecutive songs I hear the relay click and the sound drops out for just moment. This happens with IDAP-6 through i2S and optical and usb, and with Cayin i5 DAP. It holds the TV signal through COAXIAL no problem and...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    Actually I just double checked and Spotify through AirPlay from iDAP-6 over i2S to iDAC-6 MK II DOES NOT lose the lock. Strange.

    The iDAP loses lock when I play tracks from Airplay or SD card. Also the same happens when I play through coaxial with the Cayin i5 portable DAP.

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I received the Cayin idac-6 MK2 last Friday and paired it with the iDAP 6 through i2S. Sounds fantastic!! Only problem is every time the iDAP changes tracks, a relay clicks in the idac and the sound drops out for a moment at the beginning of each track. Very annoying, and I can’t imagine it’s...

    Thanks for your response Andy. It definitely looks like the Gustard A 18 is not compatible with the iDAP 6. I’m planning on returning the Gustard, And I’ve already ordered a Cayin iDAC-6 MK II that will be delivered this Friday. I KNOW that will be compatible!!😀

    Cayin iDAC-6 - Review tour (USA only for now), impressions, discussion

    Does anyone here know if the Cayin iDAC MKII is compatible with US current, or do I need a separate transformer? Thanks

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I received the Gustard A 18 DAC to pair with the Cayin iDAP-6 by the I2S connection, but unfortunately all I get is static out of the left channel. I’ve read about this problem with other DAC’s but I thought the 2.0 software update fixed compatibility/pin issues. I hooked up USB and it sounds...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I love the sound and the unit itself, other than the spotty Bluetooth/Airplay connection. Sometimes it loses the connection but it’s easy to reset. I ordered a Gustard A 18 DAC that has i2S connection to pair with iDAP 6. I’ll update when it arrives.

    Gustard A18

    I ordered the A18 to replace a PS Audio Digital Link III. Not sure when it’s going to arrive. (Coming from Mainland China) I’ll update when I have tried it out.

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    Thanks for the reply @Andykong. I am running USB out of iDAP-6 into a PS Audio Digital Link III DAC, but no signal. The DL III powers up when it gets the signal from SPIDIF, and works great. I have also tried running USB directly into my EMOTIVA PT-100 preamp’s DAC but still no signal. I tried...
