Cayin BTC-2: Compact Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier

Cayin BTC-2 is a compact Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier designed for those who value high-quality sound on the go. It is equipped with the ES9018K2M digital-to-analog converter, which provides accurate audio reproduction, and also supports a wide range of Bluetooth codecs, including aptX HD and LDAC, which allows you to transmit high-resolution audio wirelessly.

The device is based on the Qualcomm QCC5125 chip and supports Bluetooth version 5.1, providing reliable communication and stable signal transmission. Even when using a wireless connection, the sound quality does not suffer, thanks to a balanced circuit with signal separation, which reduces the level of noise and distortion. This allows you to preserve all the subtleties of the original sound.

BTC-2 is equipped with a durable metal case that effectively protects the internal components from electromagnetic interference. This approach improves the purity of the signal, eliminating possible external interference.

One of the main advantages of the device is its versatility: it can work both with Bluetooth and via digital S/PDIF or line input. This allows you to use the BTC-2 in various configurations, whether connecting to a TV, smartphone or other sources.

Additional features include high-quality components such as Japanese Nichicon capacitors and a precision ALPS volume control, which help minimize distortion and ensure accurate sound settings. The device also supports changing digital filters for more flexible adjustment to user preferences.

You can control the Cayin BTC-2 both directly via the buttons on the device and using the included remote control. An informative OLED display makes it easy to monitor current settings and playback status.
