Another gorgeous, hand-crafted tube piece from Cayin, this one designed to deliver the sound from your PC or USB device.  The Cayin iDAC-1 is made in the same chassis as the Cayin Headphone Amplifier.

The Cayin iDAC-1 was hand built with extreme attention to detail, including point-to-point wiring. Point-to-point was the way that amps used to be wired back in the 1950s and '60s when cost was not the primary objective. The bottom line is that point-to-point wiring sounds better.

 There is a full-function remote control included at no extra charge. The picture unfortunately does not do the Cayin iDAC-1 justice.  When running, you can peer into the window and see the warm amber light of the tubes, flooded by the blue LEDs.  Absolutely gorgeous!

 Also on the front panel are the Power switch, USB Input and a headphone jack.  The rear panel houses 2 pair of RCA analog outputs, a RCA Coax Output and a TOSLINK Optical Output.
