FULL SPECIFICATION HERE : Cayin N8iii Flagship Reference Digital Audio Player N8iii Portable Player

Meet the all-new Cayin N8iii — our new Flagship Reference Digital Audio Player, created for listeners who want portable audio without compromise.

Powered by a 6th Generation Nutube 6P1 vacuum tube circuit, a flagship AKM DAC architecture, Triple Timbre tuning, and Hyper Mode for ultimate performance, the N8iii brings together technical innovation, refined craftsmanship, and the unmistakable musicality of Cayin.

Key Product Features

Triple Timbre with Nutube Technology 

The Cayin N8iii puts incredible flexibility in the hands of the user with its Triple Timbre system.

The device utilises a 6th Generation Nutube 6P1 vacuum tube circuit. The tubes are carefully selected and precision-matched by hand, supported by a customised power supply design. You can choose between two tube signatures (Tube Classic, Tube Modern) or opt for the ultimate transparency of the Solid-State mode.

The delicate tube circuits are safeguarded by an in-house anti-vibration structure and wave-absorbing materials, providing multi-dimensional shock absorption and shielding protection for a flawlessly clean audio signal.

New Flagship AKM DAC Architecture 

The heart of the digital-to-analogue section is a massive, uncompromising processing engine.

It features a fully balanced parallel differential current output architecture, powered by a total of six flagship chips: 2 × AK4191EQ paired with 4 × AK4499EXEQ. This setup guarantees reference-level resolution, outstanding dynamics, and a highly natural sound stage.

Unmatched Amplification and Control 

The player features Triple Amplifier Modes (Class A+, Class A, and Class AB), allowing you to perfectly tailor the current delivery to your headphones' specific requirements.

Additionally, the device offers Dual Output Modes (P and P+). When the ultimate "Hyper Mode" is engaged, the N8iii unleashes its peak performance, delivering an impressive 900mW through the single-ended output and up to 1285mW via the balanced output.

Precise volume adjustments are handled by a hi-end grade dual MUSES72320V electronic volume control.

Massive Power and Thermal Management 

To meet the rigorous power demands of its flagship components, the Cayin N8iii is equipped with an independent, multi-cell high-performance power management system featuring a massive 13500 mAh battery.

It supports PD 2.0 fast charging and provides up to 12 hours of Phone Out (PO) playback. All of this is housed in a premium 6063 aluminium alloy chassis, which integrates a dedicated heat dissipation system to keep the device running optimally.

"Interface Madness" and Modern Multimedia 

The Cayin N8iii is not just about sound; it's about a seamless user experience unlocking all sorts of Hi-Fi possibilities. The player is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, backed by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

It runs on a customized Android system (with Google Play support) featuring Direct Transport Audio (DTA) for SRC bypass, allowing for bit-perfect, Hi-Res streaming. Navigating your library is a joy on the crisp 6.0-inch TFT display.
