Reviewer: The Headphone List
Hello Head-Fi!
@Andykong of Cayin asked your dear old Pinky if I'd like to be a beta tester for their new music player, the N5ii. Naturally, I said yes. I love Cayin products... a lot. So, when I get my hands on the unit, I will share some of that experience with you, here in this thread.
This is also the best place for your general conversations about the N5ii. Impressions and reviews ought to be found here as well... when it hits the market.
In the meanwhile, enjoy some sweet, sweet info:
