About this deal

The new Andro features Knowles' new dual diaphragm BA drivers and employs a more comfortable shell design.

This safeguards the audio signal integrity and ensures the noise from the reference clock and DSP do not bleed into the amplification circuit. The oversampling mode adds extra texture and smoothness, putting together a retro, analog tuning with enhanced transients and a stronger outline. With the RU6 her amazing voice perfectly blended together with the distorted guitar in the most charming way and I literally forgot how many times I listened to the track named "Cum Dederit". Hardware volume buttons for convenient control, doubled as menu selection when entering Mode settings. The R-2R DAC circuit in the RU6 is quite demanding on incoming data integrity and the digital volume control on mobile phones will inhibit the overall sound quality.This is a tiny USB-C dongle that contains a totally discrete R-2R DAC circuit and is powered by the USB source in a rectangular box shaped device that'll fit easily in any pocket. The RU6 with its full 4V swing and 213mW/32Ω of power output, is powerful and can drive a wide range of headphones with good grip and plenty of headroom.

To achieve 24 bit decoding, RU6 equips 48 units of resistors (23 x R and 25 x 2R), and that’s for one channel. A longer USB cable may be a fast rescue or you may try to stick some copper foil at the back of the RU6 inside the casing.On the high sensitivity speakers I far prefer the Cayin RU6 + Jitterbug combination to other DACs I have such as a Bifrost Multibit, Modi Multibit, Topping E30, and Dragonfly Red. The CNC-machined aluminum black housing of RU6 is offset with a glossy front panel using a 1-inch OLED screen displaying the sampling rate, over-sampling status, and volume. My two top pairs - IER-Z1R and UM Mest - so perfect: well controlled bass, improved vocals , enlarged sound stage and 3D.

Cayin's RU6 is a safe bet for a high-end DAC/Amp dongle with all the flexibility DAC/Amp dongles bring, an excellent foray into R-2R technology as well as into genuinely portable Hi-Fi — without breaking the bank. Cayin therefore recommends a music player app for the smart device that supports Bit Perfect USB and thus bypasses the level control of the source device.The RU-6 also pairs very well with the Burson Soloist 3X and the TEAC HA-501 enhancing the natural replay of the first and the musicality of the second and paired with these two gives me same but also a bit different enjoyment vs the Mytek Liberty DAC. low TCR (25ppm/℃ temperature coefficient of resistance) resistors for two channel 24bit R-2R decoding, you can’t expect the smallest frame, though they did come close to competition with its CNC aluminum chassis being 65mm x 25. The RU6 has physical volume buttons for conventient control that also double as menu selection when entering mode settings.
