A reinvention of a classic arrives in the form of Cayin's N6II, a distinctly modular music player that sports interchangeable amplifier and DAC motherboards.

This unparalleled versatility allows Cayin to tune this Android O, Spotify and Tidal-playing platform to cater to nearly every pair of audiophile ears and preferences, doing so with aplomb each time.
