Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)
Mar 28, 2024 at 7:05 AM Post #2,883 of 2,935
Hi guys.
I’m thinking about downgrading a little bit and letting my N30 AP go.
If anyone might be interested, please send me a PM.
Didn't you own it once before? Or was it a N30LE non-AP?

I went to the European Watercooler meet up in Amsterdam last weekend, people absolutely loved the N30.

I am thinking of getting myself an iBasso PB5 for a bit of extra juice when called for but the DAP is spectacular. Anyone with a PB5 with feedback to share?

Only thing I find lacking is proper Roon compatibility.

I believe what you want is proper roon support on d16 as the pb5 is only an amp.

My bad, I misread your post and thought you wanted roon support on the PB5.

Yes. Me.
The PB5 extends the treble and bass nicely. Just a kind of different sound. Adds a little bit more warmth.

Main priority (and reason to even be looking at a PB5) is driving power :)

Why not stick with Cayin and try the C9?

My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I am not very familiar with the open Android operating system and Cayin DAPs. I have had AK DAPs in the past. I have been using the basic features, but have not been able to find an equalizer. Does Cayin not have one?
