I bought this C9ii amp to pair with my Cayin N7+ and 64 Audio A18t CIEMs, specifically because the N7+ balanced output impedance is 1.2 Ohms, the C9ii is only .2 Ohms and 64 Audio recommends .5 Ohms output impedance or less else the bass starts to degrade. There are dozens of sound-shaping button options and this amp gives me bigger, yet still technical sound and really makes all my songs and genres extremely enjoyable... basically perfect. The Tubes are awesome. I bought the cover as well and highly recommend it. The only negative is that removing the battery cartridge has been impossible without the help of a second person. Luckily, I don't plan open replacing batteries any time soon. With both my N7+ and C9ii set to AB amp (which is my preference), both boxes get only slightly warm after an hour of listening. Set this way, they both will have well over 10 hours battery life. I also prefer the Modern tube timbre.
Love this cayin c9ii, it gives my hiby r8 ii a different presentation of sound and also warms it up, also increases soundstage and makes vocals so sweet and emotional! Definitely recommend!
Sounds great on iems and headphones. I find this pairs well with extremely low impedance iems, especially for bassheads.
Wow! This Dap is top of food chain. So many settings and adjustments available. Great soundstage and detail. Will be hanging on to this one for a long while.
Thanks MT!
These are nice replacement pads For my peacock
I've had my Mentors now for 2 years and still ABSOLUTELY ADORE THEM and have no compulsion whatsoever to try and top them. The level of detail, timbre, resolution, staging, imaging, fat yet controlled bass, sparkle, refinement and every other term , I could go on and on... I Love these these IEMs. The only thing I dont like about them is the relatively shallow / flat socket placement. The sockets have gotten loose and the cables now pul loose when putting them on or taking them off. On the upside, UM is doing the maintenance for me complimentary, I just need to take care of round trip shipping and they'll be out of my possession for approximately 3 months. But that's Okay and speaks volumes of UMs after sales service.
It's really a sensational set of IEMS.
This is perhaps the best sounding bit of amplification I’ve personally heard or owned. It’s as if you’re hearing a new, higher resolution. Everything, note weight, instrument layering, imaging, clarity, bass, it makes my IEMs sound like new and more resolving sets. It even runs Joal to this outlandishly timbre centric our sonic Utopia. I cannot get over it or enough of it. I’m descending on a plane as I type and it still sounds like a different beast entirely.
I’m going to see what fireworks pop off tonight when I run it like out into Sigma Pro.
It ain’t just another dongle ladies and gentlemen. Just buy it.
Make the 10th anniversary version of PAW Gold more valuable.
