A good DAP, although $200 is a little higher(10%-25%) than its original price in China. It is pretty competitive on the price range. It has balanced output which is pretty rare for a $200 DAP. The operating system is simple and kind of like sony zx100. The sound is at about $400 with the balanced output in my mind. There are still some flaws though. Since it uses portable device chip ESS9018k2m, the details of the sound is worse than DAPs with desktop chip like ESS9018s. This disadvantage is more obvious when you use the line out to connect an amp. So if you are looking for a small, easy to use DAP with a good battery life to drive IEMs(both single end and balanced) only, it is a good option and pretty competitive. And if you want to use an amp, it is not that competitive. Also this DAP doesn't have functions like coax out, optical out and bluetooth. So considering all these factors, I think M1S is a good DAP really focusing on the portable use with IEM.

ikudoI didn't try Cayin N3 before. From reviews I think M1s will have advantage for the sound. But N3 has full functions like a flagship DAP. It supports two way bluetooth input and output(supports Aptx), two way USB input and output, USB OTG, SPDIF output with DOP, and line out. M1s only supports line out. So I think it depends on how you are going to use the DAP.
