N3 Ultra
Military Grade NOS Vacuum Tube
Proprietary Gen3 Tube Circuit
Triple Timbre Digital Audio Player
The Beauty of Simplicity Vintage Tubes, Cutting-edge Sound
The N3 Ultra uses a fully-customized operating system that streamlining to focus solely on audio application.
Creating a device that provides an authentic and minimalist experience, allowing users to enjoy the new auditory pleasure brought by the vintage JAN6418 vacuum tubes.
Military-grade NOS Tubes Applicable to All Analog Outputs
Equipped with two Raytheon JAN6418 military-grade miniature direct-heated pentode NOS vacuum tubes.
The N3 Ultra offers both single-ended 3.5mm and balanced 4.4mm Headphone and Line level analog outputs, each capable of producing both vacuum tube and solid-state timbre.
Shock Absorber and Suspension In-house developed mechanical and circuitry upgrades minimize microphonic effects
Custom-molded shock absorption Silicon housing to hold and shield the JAN6418 vacuum tube.
Designed pairs of suspension pins into the CNC aluminum frame of N3Ultra, the JAN6418 is hanged vertically with suspension effect.
Integrated the miniature vacuum tube with the body frame, achieving multi-directional stress relief for the tube’s filament.
Enhance stability by Introduce an appropriate amount of inter-stage loop NFB to inhibit the closed-loop gain
Employ FET to control the power supply of the vacuum tube and stabilize the working current of the tube filament
Classic Modern | Solid-State Up to Three Timbres in All Analog Outputs
Instead of using the miniature pentode tube as an audio buffer, N3Ultra adopts Cayin’s Gen3 vacuum tube technology and employed a two stage timbre circuit for JAN6418:
First Stage: connect the JAN6418 as a low gain voltage amplifier
Second Stage: a FET buffer is added to improve the driving capability of the timbre circuit
By varying the connection method of the screen grid of the pentode tube, the JAN6418 incorporates local NFB through the screen grid, resulting in two distinct styles of circuit response, distortion, and output impedance.
Fun and Versatile Portable Source
Dual Line Out
On top of a dedicated 3.5mm single-ended line out, the 4.4mm balanced output can be configured into Phone out or Line out.
Maximum compatibility with configurable output levels
• 3.5mm: 2.1V (High), 1.6V (Mid), 1.0V (Low)
• 4.4mm: 4.2V (High), 3.2V (Mid), 2.0V (Low)
Enable user to connect the N3Ultra to a variety of portable, desktop and home audio devices
Clean and Unamplified
Line Out is fixed voltage line level output bypassing volume control and headphone amplification.
Serve as high quality source for headphone amplifier (portable or desktop) and integrated amplifier in home audio systems
