The Qualcomm SDM660 eight-core processor delivers blazing-fast data read/write speeds, ensuring high performance and a low-latency memory pool for seamless operation. Effortlessly handle smooth multitasking while managing internal storage, SD cards, USB devices, and hard disk files simultaneously with precision and efficiency.

Precision Engineered Power Supply Transformer

Cayin meticulously designs and manufactures its transformers, recognizing their crucial role in delivering superior audio performance. The iDAP-8 features a 45W toroidal transformer, crafted with high-purity copper enameled wire and encased in specialized shielding for optimal performance. Enhanced with advanced circuit protection measures, this design minimizes magnetic interference and effectively shields the circuitry from noise, ensuring pristine audio quality.

All-New UI Design

Featuring a vibrant 5” FHD TFT multi-touch screen, the iDAP-8 delivers sharp and clear visuals, including text, graphics, and high-resolution album art. Its intuitive interface ensures all information is thoughtfully organized and easy to navigate. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the 59-degree tilted screen offers effortless viewing and seamless control for a superior user experience.

Compact and Versatile

The iDAP-8 joins the Cayin i-series lineup, sharing a cohesive design language with the iDAC-8 and the iHA-8 headphone amplifier. Each product functions seamlessly on its own or can be combined to create a unified audio system.

Compact and thoughtfully designed, the iDAP-8 fits effortlessly into any home audio or desktop setup. Its L-shaped aluminum cover plate is crafted with precision mold extrusion, CNC machining, fine sandblasting, and an anodized finish, offering a sleek and uniform texture that is both stylish and durable.

The ridged heat sink panels on the sides not only enhance the streamers’s aesthetic appeal but also improve heat dissipation by increasing surface area for better airflow. This optimized thermal performance ensures the iDAP-8 operates at peak efficiency for the best possible audio output.
