Cayin iDAP – 8

Description

Android-based digital music transmitter for desktop use. The iDAP-8 plays music files from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, hard drives, USB and SD cards, and can do more than a normal transmitter. It is not just a music server or transmitter, but also a modern computing solution for your music collection that also sounds great.

This Android 9-based player with integrated Google Play Store features a powerful Snapdragon 660 CPU. Some apps are pre-installed and others can be easily added. The iDAP-8 supports smart UX with an FPGA that generates an immaculate I²S signal, which is routed to the digital outputs via HDMI and AES/EBU.

The iDAP-8 is the perfect match for our iDAC-8 DAC and iHA-8 headphone amplifier. All of the iDAP-8's 128 GB internal music storage, native Android streaming apps for Apple Music and Tidal Hi-Res Lossless, and network-based NAS audio apps can be controlled via HiBy Music's HiByCast and HiByLink.

The iDAP-8 is incredibly easy to use. Streaming music has never been so much fun and has rarely sounded so good. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the iDAP-8 is equipped with very high-quality components. Such as a large 45-watt toroidal transformer, which forms the heart of the carefully selected components and creates the conditions for the best music streaming.

Play your music via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, USB, SD card or the 2.5-inch SATA hard drive slot, designed for an optional 4 TB hard drive. All inputs have been optimally shielded so that the signal path of the iDAP-8 is not disturbed.

The small DAC receives its transmissions, including Apple Music and Tidal streams, which are protected by Direct Transport Audio, avoiding Android resampling. With HiByCast screen mirroring, you can control the inputs and outputs of the iDAP-8 via your Android or iOS device from the comfort of your sofa.

Then, Cayin's FPGA chip processes the data and generates flawless I²S data using two Accusilicon oscillators that provide bit, master and clock references. This is then forwarded via HDMI to the I²S output, which is compatible with the pinout standard of our CS-100DAC, iDAC-6, iDAC-8, Matrix Audio, Denafrips and Wyred 4 Sound, among others. Alternatively, the transmission can take place with the typical reliability of S/PDIF in the form of a 110-ohm AES/EBU output or via a 75-ohm BNC and RCA connection.

Cayin's high-quality hardware combined with the flexibility and simplicity of Android delivers audiophile delight with the iDAP-8, offering the user a complete solution for a variety of digital devices.
