My Cayin amp started to cut the sound whenever the volume button is touched. Sometimes it cuts out on its own and wont turn back on until i move the knob again. Support from Cayin pretty much doesn't exist and I only had it for about a month. Buy with caution as I don't think these come with a valid warranty.
PeicilleJust confirmed with Massdrop support that this amp does not come with a warranty. So if warranty is important to you, might want to look elsewhere. I'm sure there are Cayin C5's out there that work perfectly fine, but I was not so lucky. Amp itself (not the amp/dac combo) works very well, it's just unfortunate that it failed so early.
PeicilleLast update, my return was sent out (haven't received my refund from Massdrop yet) but I wanted to provide an update on the product before being sent out. I mentioned in my initial post that the sound started cutting out randomly. Well a week or so after my post, the amp just stopped working all together. Did not even turn on, I want to assume due to how cheaply made this is.
PeicilleGreat...I used my c5 for a few hours (5 tops) and today it started cutting out sound, it's sort of like a micro-stutter in the sound.... I thought it might be driver related but when I read your comment..... I guess I need to contact Massdrop about this, or how did you go about it? This is just brilliant, paid $157.49 as well as customs fees of more than 50 dollars ... I guess those 50 dollars are completely burnt but yeah... Great buy.
