Personal listening view

When describing subjective feelings such as sounds, those who do not speak their own views of listening are sly.

 

High frequency: long, timeless, reverberant, reverberating, and reverberating.

IF: Condensation but not loose, clear location, dense dense, moderate amount of ear.

Low frequency: Quick Q bomb, timely response, slightly wider range, accurate and powerful.

Sound field: Slightly larger than the real, slightly stained, not puffed caves, do not even the paper.

 

In terms of acoustic curves: I like V- shaped, two full and powerful, middle features.

In terms of product characteristics: I like A loose sweet, smooth, direct thrust, full of power; hate the quality of dry cold thorns disguised; hate to do too much buffer to balance the limit.

In terms of product objects: I like the balance of the silver line, the low-frequency atmosphere of the HD650 , the high-frequency atmosphere of the STAX static series, and the ignorant IE800 's fake large-space sound field, dislikes the digital polish of the Sony player.

 

Special case: I admire Apple's retouching skills after 5 generations. To make things detrimental, we have obtained a nearly continuous and smooth fluency. It can be understood that the devices after Apple 5 , especially 5S and mini4 , have an algorithm similar to dynamic equalization when playing back, keeping the songs of all sources in a general orientation range. Biased low, high frequency enough. Based on the widespread popularity of Apple devices, Chuchu can use it as a benchmark player.

 

Product selling point

 

The Cayin i5 portable lossless player is the first marriage product between Cayin and Haibei, which takes a lot of hard work. 482 days of research and development, compared to Cayin's previous works N5 , N6 , i5 from the appearance to the performance, sound quality has greatly improved and worth the wait.

 

1.    Cayin i5 shell is made of aerospace aluminum alloy CNC finishing, carbon fiber material on the back, weighs only 196g , equipped with a touch screen and physical buttons, using Seashell Music deep customization Android 4.4 system, can be connected through the Type-C interface, WiFi , Bluetooth, etc. Play music to the network and external devices. I5 supports DSD source decoding and supports multiple lossless format decoding and playback.

2.    Cayin i5 is the first vertical player with built-in content, including 500,000 lossless tracks provided by Haibei Music and HiFi Music ( Guangzhou DingVen Digital Technology Co., Ltd. ) (an increase of 1 million during the year). In addition, Cayin i5 users can experience three months of free VIP access, including 16bit lossless music online listening and 200 lossless song downloads per month. More diversified, more personalized to meet the needs of users.

Product testing

 

Functionality:

 

1.    Android is easy to operate and CPU response is sufficient.

 

2.    The button layout is conventional and provides several hardware buttons such as digital potentiometer, up and down track, and playback pause. Missing hardware lock button, similar to the red button of Apple's mobile phone. During the actual use, although the global lock can be adjusted in the settings, the switch is always inconvenient, making the i5 always open and standby, it is easy to touch the play button inadvertently. However, after accompanied by a leather holster, you can completely eliminate false touches.

 

3.    Player file management follows folder-based management and is intuitive and transparent. However, there is no direct play function for all songs in the folder. You can only click on a song to start playing or play in bulk by adding to the play list. This is a departure from the normal playback logic. It is recommended to set the folder to play. Multi-level folders automatically generate playlists. For example, there are 2 folders, folder 1>> album 1 , album 2 , album 3>> 100 songs per album, then folder 1 total 300 songs. The demand can be directly selected to play the folder in the folder 1 layer, a total of 300 . Reference: IPC , Sony A15 Folder Playback Logic.

 

4.    The third-party APP can be easily installed, and the tracks can be downloaded normally during use, for example, using the Himalayan app to play high definition Guo Degang. The inadequacies are that the third-party app does not have permission management and can not close the advertisements in the startup and notification bar. In the networking state, such apps continuously push notification bar advertisements, resulting in increased power consumption.

 

5.    On the play interface, the progress of the song is controlled by a circle of yellow light spots outside the play / pause button to compare individual characters. With its own electronic coulomb counter, the professional atmosphere is strong.

 

6.    The Type-C interface used by I5 can measure continuous transmission up to 32 MB/s , and the transmission process is very stable. Compared to the currently popular USB2.0 , USB 3.0 interface in-memory player, I5 can be said to be the fastest player in the product currently sold (possibly violating the advertising law).

 

7.    Online music library and Baidu cloud disk direct reading: Online music library currently implements a new registration for 3 months free of charge, due to the use of Google's own Chinese input method, registration is slightly inconvenient. Music library is currently a very common fever disc, online direct reading process is smooth, no obvious Caton. Baidu cloud disk directly after the input account, only give a seashell music folder address, no further operation tips, hope to improve or provide intuitive operating instructions. PS : In fact, the third-party APP ES file browser that comes with it can realize all direct dial +NAS direct-reading gameplay, and especially the Baidu network disk custom ES , can achieve a more direct browsing experience. The author's own home has been using the ES file browser to share small movies among various devices. The detailed operation is self-owned by Baidu, and is not described here separately.

 

8.    Measured wav battery life is 8-10 hours, and the heating during continuous playback is acceptable for metal machines.

 

9.    The bottom of the machine is spliced ​​with engineering plastics. WIFI , Bluetooth and other antenna parts are all here. The measured signal is stable and there is no interference in the machine. However, it should be noted that when holding with one hand, holding this area slightly affects the signal, similar to holding an iPhone.

 

Highlights: hardware playback control buttons, no card Andrews system, extremely fast transfer speed, third-party app interface, online music library smooth, good life

 

Sound performance:

1.    I5 is a machine with a strong A style, with a warm, mellow sound and a charming atmosphere.

2.    The overall style is AK380+AMP balance, gold chrysanthemum, 901 and other first tier players.

3.    High-frequency exploration + analysis + permeability on the AK series, but also calmer than chrysanthemum, less aggressive. It can be said to be just right.

4.    The rich mid-range is not as thick as the AK system and delicate than the daisy system.

5.    Low-frequency atmosphere is enough, less than the amount of AK / chrysanthemum, quality Q bomb meat, feedback speed and comfort.

6.    Sound field, due to the relatively small amount of low-frequency power supply + dark background is not enough, the sound field will seem no similar players so much, but bring ear close-licking superior ability; although the positional relationship in the depth of a bit flat, but the separation is about On the horizontal plane, there is too much excellence and it is easy to have a "wet" feeling. This is a machine belonging to Tong Li. This is a machine belonging to solo instruments such as guqin, erhu, gong and folk music. Listening to these near-field songs is easy to tears.

7.    In fact, it's a bit like a machine that hasn't been seen for a long time: The sound after claxy M+im04 combination is more transparent than cm , and other aspects are very similar.

8.    I5 is the first part of the portable amp that I think, after adding a little sound field, the other three frequencies are not as good as the machine, which includes: aune B1 2016 , Kaiyin C5 , Taobao DIY , Sen Yun PX-m1 . This means that the I5 's amp has reached a considerable level. Although the output metric will be improved when the LO goes out to the general portable amp, the taste of the music is not as sweet as the direct PO .

 

Highlights: A-style sound, three-frequency energy distribution, comfortable taste, ear

 

One sentence summary

 

After I5 to 2999 yuan price, providing an extremely attractive premium sound at the end, also provides genuine lossless music content, diverse gameplay and Android app similar products beyond endurance, simple and efficient, suitable as a home to purchase portable entertainment terminal.
