    Includes GST of ₹ 36,609 Info

    Get 18% GST input

    One of the reasons headphones and earphones in India are more expensive than overseas is because of the Goods & Services Tax in India. Don't let the GST input go to waste especially if you can avail an offset. All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST. Simply enter your GST number at the time of checkout.
    EMI Starting from ₹ 21,435.

    Buy Headphones on EMI

    Go for an easy EMI scheme which allows you to pay for your orders over a convenient period. A minimum purchase value of Rs. 500 is required to avail the EMI facility and the facility can be availed for tenures of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

    After checking out, Select the "Credit Card / Debit Card / Net Banking / EMI" option, which will then direct you to the CashFree Payment gateway. Select your card and check the installment value and the overall interest charged on the transaction. 

    The interest rate charged varies from bank to bank. Here is a summary of the interest rates:

    Bank 3 Months 6 Months 9 Months 12 Months 18 Months 24 Months
    AXIS 12% 12% 14% 14% 15% 15%
    STANDARD CHARTERED 13% 13% 14% 14% - -
    ICICI 13% 13% 13% 13% 15% 15%
    YES BANK 12% 12% 13% 13% 14% 15%
    HDFC 15% 15% 15% 15%

    These are annualized interest rates charged on a monthly reducing balance, which means that the principal amount is reduced with every EMI and the interest is calculated on the outstanding balance.

    No processing or convenience fees are charged on any EMI transactions.

    PLEASE NOTE:

    1. Minimum Order value for EMI eligibility varies from Bank to bank. 
    2. EMI purchases need to be made on a single credit card and cannot be split across multiple cards.
    3. EMI monthly schedules begin from the next card billing statement post the transaction date as determined by your bank.

    DESCRIPTION

    Tube-Tech at its Finest

    The Cayin N8 offers three kinds of amplification (4.4mm Bal, 3.5mm SE-SS, 3.5mm SE-Tube), letting you choose from a vacuum tube or solid-state output. This vacuum tube amplification circuit has been designed based on the KORG Nutube 6P1, a dual-channel Triode vacuum tube from Japan. A PGA2311UA chip has been used to suppress background noise and facilitate gain compensation with the Solid State circuit while a Spring-loaded Suspension System eliminates microphonic effect for better portability.

    Decodes the Toughest Files

    Experience only the best in sound. The N8 has a 32-bit AK4497EQ Dual DAC and PCB Board that can decode up to 32Bit/384kHz, DSD up to DSD256 and handle SACD-ISO seamlessly.

    Amp it Up

    Connect just about any headphone with your N8 thanks to the multiple choices of outputs. You can use between a 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm single-ended, S/PDIF, USB Audio and I2S digital output.

    Connect One, Connect All

    Connect just about any headphone with your N8 thanks to the multiple choices of outputs. You can use between a 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm single-ended, S/PDIF, USB Audio and I2S digital output.

     

    Go Wireless Easily

    The N8 uses the latest Bluetooth v4.2. This lets you stream music wirelessly via aptX or SBC. You can even turn this device into a wireless DAC by streaming audio from another player via SBC. The best part? You can control the N8 from your phone with the HiBy Music Player app.

    Listen for Long

    The N8 has a battery life that ranges from 7.5 hours to 9.5 hours depending on the power supply mode used as well as the output. The QC2.0 cable from Qualcomm and Pump Express from Media Tek quickly charges the 7000mAh battery. Smart LEDs inform you of the sampling rate, charging, etc.

    Leave No Song Behind

    Carry your favourite tracks everywhere. The Cayin N8 has a massive internal memory of 128GB which can be further expanded via a 512GB TF card. And, even if that’s not enough, plug-in your OTG as well!

    Stylish Yet, Durable

    The N8 does not only look great but also sounds great as well. A PVD coated, stainless steel chassis and 24K gold-plated solid brass control dials make this DAP super-durable to carry around. A Corning Gorilla 3 (AF and DLC coated) curved glass back panel fits perfectly while the 3.2-inch multi-touch IPS screen and physical buttons make usage easy.

    Expert Verdict "Tube output has always been a dream of mine in a DAP and for some time I thought this might happen in the amp cards from FiiO or iBasso but it never materialized."
    Headfonics     		"The Astell&Kern SP2000 is very precise and detailed, it also delivers music with a fast pace. The Bass is tight, fast and detailed with good layering."
    Heafonia     		"The A01 motherboard taps into Cayin’s house sound or preference for something slightly richer, sweeter and an all-round performance that will appeal to a very wide audience indeed."
    Headfonics     		"The Astell & Kern A&ultima SP1000M is pretty much faultless when it comes to sound quality. When it comes to the business of playing music, it’s impossible to find holes in the performance."

    "Has Cayin achieved their goal? Oh yes, the N8 is a high end DAP, there’s no doubt about it. Does it beat the Sony or AK? No but it doesn’t have to either."
