Cayin Audio<\/a>‘s C201 employs a novel parallel differential matrix DAC architecture with its eight Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips for the modular N6III<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a motherboard on\u00a0Headfonia<\/a>‘s Recommended Buys list for “great detail … stereo imaging is excellent”. Headfonics<\/a> concurred.\u00a0Twister6<\/a> praised C201 for its “more resolving tonality and a neutrally revealing signature to extract more micro-details from the sound” \u2013 ichos-reviews<\/a> praising “outstanding technical performance and exceptional sound quality”.<\/p>\n

N6III’s FPGA feeds each of C201’s DAC chips independently with I2S signals, operating them in mono mode before they are grouped into pairs and paralleled to form full-differential output channels.<\/p>\n

To ensure optimal performance, each DAC chip benefits from discrete, symmetric power supply and peripheral circuitry. This design minimises distortion and jitter, resulting in enhanced sound density and overall audio quality. [See Product Desc. For More]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

By precisely aligning the phase of all DACs, Cayin has achieved a significant improvement in the C201’s sonic performance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

This is an analog output performance that matches the precision of its digital decode, with their operation in balanced differential mode counting on common-mode rejection to cancel out distortion and noise.<\/p>\n

The larger PCB size that N6III affords means that C201 is able to count on 30 per cent larger board space to keep overbuilding its circuits. This robust nature is typified by the NJU72315 volume controls \u2013 these analog attenuators are unbuffered in their basic IC form, leaving the choice of subsequent driver stage to Cayin and allowing N6III to be its quiet best, achieving 130dB of signal-to-noise ratio.<\/p>\n
