cayin iha 8 review ProsCons...

The Cayin iHA-8 Class A headphone amplifier is a great representation of what I consider to be the modern Cayin solid-state 'House sound' and provides a lot more flexibility and dynamism than the older iHA-6 for modern head gear in today's market.

Pros

  • Delivers an effortless natural tonal quality.
  • Excellent dynamism when using Hyper Mode.
  • Can drive just about any headphone out there.

Cons

  • Stepped attenuator dB jumps might be too aggressive for some sensitive IEMs.
  • No power amp mode analog outputs.
