Cayin has announced the Cayin ID6, an all-in-one device that combines a streamer, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a headphone amplifier, and a preamplifier. A key feature of the Cayin ID6 is its integration of a modern digital platform with vacuum tube circuitry (utilizing 12AU7 tubes), offering users the ability to tailor the sound to their personal preferences.

Cayin has introduced the HA-1A Mk3 tube headphone amplifier, the third generation of one of the company’s most compact models. The new amplifier operates in Class A, uses an all-tube circuit design, and is intended primarily for desktop audio systems. Its construction incorporates specially designed transformers, while the HA-1A Mk3 itself is the smallest model in Cayin’s HA series.

Cayin has released the Jazz 70 integrated tube amplifier, the smallest and most affordable model in the Jazz family, which also includes the Jazz 80, Jazz 90 and Jazz 100. The amplifier combines traditional tube circuitry with modern connectivity: three RCA inputs are provided for analog sources, while wireless playback is available via Bluetooth.

The Cayin Jazz 100 integrated tube amplifier currently sells for under three thousand euros. Yes, really: for a tenth of what many rivals charge, you get a single-ended design built on 805A directly heated triodes, pure Class A operation and an impressive 2 x 46 W of output power. A bargain this generous naturally invites skepticism - so we spent enough time with the Cayin Jazz 100 to bring you a detailed review of the model. With all its strengths and weaknesses.

Cayin has expanded its range of compact Hi-Fi electronics with the new Cayin BTC-2. The model combines several functions at once: a Bluetooth receiver, digital-to-analog converter, preamplifier and headphone amplifier. This solution is aimed at users who want a quick and convenient way to connect modern digital sources to a classic audio system, active speakers or wired headphones.

Cayin has updated its flagship HA-300 headphone amplifier, introducing the third-generation version – the Cayin HA-300 MK3. The new model retains the core features of the design: single-ended Class A circuitry, 300B tubes in the output stage and an external power supply.

Cayin has released the new Cayin Soul 170C vacuum tube preamplifier, the perfect complement to the recently announced Soul 170P stereo vacuum tube power amplifier.

The Cayin Soul 170P tube amplifier is presented – the model uses four Tung-Sol KT170 in a push-pull configuration and operates in pure class A. The amplification stage is based on a pair of dual JJ 12AU7 triodes for voltage amplification, two JJ 6SN7 tubes in driver stages and a 17AX4GT kenotron for power supply.

Cayin has released an update to its well-known integrated amplifier model – the Cayin MT-35 MK3. In addition to three RCA inputs, the amp received a wireless streaming module Bluetooth (AAC, aptX HD and LDAC) with a fairly powerful built-in digital-to-analog converter based on the ES9018K2M Sabre32 chip.
