did you find anything? I'm looking for a good cable for my S8 / Illumination. Any suggestions in mind?

Interested in buying one but aftaid that SQ would be a downgrade from Illumination. I love my Illumination btw. Really underappreciated IEM. Tuned very well to the point that it can be boring to some folks but has actually insane resolution and stage if you just actually listen to them more...

RU6/7 are niche products. They're not designed to be "feature rich". If the breakthroughs Cayin were able to achieve in these dongles does not appeal to you then why bother? The fact that these R2R and 1-bit DAC dongles exist right now and that they sound great is more than what I would have...

What headphone or IEM do you consider are great with vocals and cymbals? I like my vocals free from coloration and I think the 560S does a great job in reproducing vocals without any coloration at all. Almost sounding like Etymotic ER2SE / ER4SR. Some people are so used to colored mids and I can...

@FiiO - a feature request.. - Add a switch for the user to be able to select which output ports to use if multiple output ports are connected to a plug. Right now the only way I can switch from say coax to Bal. LO is to unplug the coax so the software will auto switch to balanced port...

Thank you so much for the very quick response and for providing the older FW. I am still observing the issue, right now it seems to behave normally. It's possible that it has got to do with the power bank I used last time to charge it rapidly. I will try the factory reset first if the issue...

@FiiO - this update has made my M11+ ESS run hot and noticeably consume more battery even when using just Coax Out. I did not install any new apps so I couldn't blame anything rather than this update. Any way that I can rollback to 1.0.2?

Most likely electrical noise from the laptop. I'm using SE in that scenario and not sure if using balanced will lessen the issue. And it might be that particular USB C port that's very noisy as I haven't tried the other USB A ports. That ifi is not a dongle nor an amp. It's a USB purifier...

Thanks for sharing your insights as well! Another thing I've experienced that I wanted to share is that my RU6 performs noticeably worse from a PC source (Dell Inspiron laptop running win10) compared to my android sources (Galaxy S10 / FiiO DAP). The sound is underwhelmingly soft and seems to...

To be able to match the same volume of my Topping E30 (2.1Vrms) line level with my RU6, I had to use the max volume (100) of HIGH gain. To be honest I couldn't hear any clipping at all but I feel there's quite some distortion but I'm not 100% sure and it could be my mind playing with me. For...

Mine arrived yesterday and just a few minutes of listening and boy was it a bliss to listen with. This is my first experience with an R2R DAC but I have a pretty good idea of highly resolving sources as I've tried various gears that are plain underwhelming to my ears regardless of price which I...

Thank you so much for a lot of very informative stuff! Can't wait for my RU6 to arrive:)

I can quite tell bit perfect and resampled stuff especially non-multiples (i.e. 44.1kHz -> 48kHz which is most common in my case). The pause and sometimes losing focus happens to me in Neutron. nit with RU6 (mine's still in transit) but with my external DAC Topping E30. My solution for it is to...

That's very helpful, thanks a lot!

Thanks. Yes, I want to use it with my THX 789 so power won't be an issue with a more power demanding HPs or even HPs that perform better with extra power available on tap. It is obvious to me that there is no dedicated line-out port in the device even in the settings. But it got me curious...
