Cayin N30LE
As the 30th Anniversary Model, N30LE has a lot of design elements and innovation. Below we will try to explain the design in three segments: Sole Features of N30LE, Core design and Hardware configuration, as well as the Structure, Heat Dissipation and Battery Duration. Get this amazing DAP now from the official dealer of Cayin in Bangladesh, Gears for Ears today with an official 1 year warranty.
A Masterpiece of Industrial Design
The N30LE is crafted from a Grade 5 Titanium alloy chassis, chosen for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio and superior thermal conductivity. The DAP features a stunning 6-inch FHD screen and a distinctive "porthole" on the side that glows with the warm amber light of its internal vacuum tubes, signaling the high-end craftsmanship within.
Dual Nutube 6P1 Vacuum Tube Architecture
At the heart of the N30LE is a fully balanced vacuum tube circuit utilizing two KORG Nutube 6P1 tubes. Unlike traditional DAPs that offer a simple "tube" or "solid-state" toggle, the N30LE allows users to choose between Classic and Modern tube timbres. This provides a level of analog texture and harmonic richness rarely found in a portable device.
Dual Flagship AK4499EQ DAC Configuration
To ensure every detail of the music is preserved, Cayin utilized two AKM AK4499EQ DAC chips operating in mono mode. This "Current Mode" DAC setup provides an exceptionally low noise floor and massive dynamic range. It supports high-resolution playback up to DSD512 and 32-bit/768kHz PCM, delivering a transparent and lifelike soundstage.
Unprecedented Amplification Versatility
The N30LE is designed to drive everything from sensitive IEMs to demanding planar magnetic headphones. It features a unique Hyper Mode that pushes the power envelope for maximum performance. Additionally, users can toggle between Class A and Class AB amplification modes on the fly, allowing for total control over the energy and "flavor" of the output.
Dual Output Modes: P and P+
Innovation continues with the power supply management. The DAP features Dual Output Modes (P and P+), which adjust the internal operating voltage of the headphone amplification circuit. P+ provides a higher voltage and more authoritative grip on difficult loads, ensuring that your high-impedance headphones never feel underpowered.
