Description

Seamless Connectivity

The BTC-2 features the Qualcomm QCC5125 High-Fidelity Bluetooth SoC with Bluetooth 5.1. It supports a variety of high-resolution wireless audio codecs, including aptx HD and LDAC (LDAC transmits up to 96kHz/24Bit high-resolution audio). Enjoy wireless convenience with stable signal transfer and exceptional sound quality for a smart, user-friendly experience.

Using Bluetooth does not mean Cayin compromises on circuit design. The BTC-2 features a dual-chip, 4-channel balanced circuit with positive and negative signal separation, this circuit design maintains balance throughout the decoding and amplification stages. Thanks to the balanced circuit, it significantly reduces noise and distortion, delivering clearer, more accurate sound. Every subtle moment of signal transmission and conversion faithfully preserves the original audio, free from unwanted distortion and interference.
