Exactly what I did :)

After all reviews written so far I have feel that RU7 is exactly what you say (something in between) but than again until I hear RU7 myself with my gear can’t claim and take it for granted. The biggest problem with hifi/chifi stuff is that there is very a few places in the world where you can...

I don’t know about RU7 (haven’t heard yet) but I have both M15 & RU6. And if I have to keep only one it would be RU6. Consider that I mainly listen Jazz, Blues, instrumental music and in general slow vocal focus songs (Diana Krall, Patrica Barber, Melody Gardot, Sara K. Luka Bloom, Ottmar...

I’m just saying and trying to keep my self spending even more money but eventually I will since curiosity in me never let me alone 😁 About you feeling fatigued, try smell some good coffee (like in parfumerie store) ;)

Considering SQ and power of new generation of DACs, DAPs are pointless and overpriced piece of equipment. Better to spend money on proper desktop setup than DAP in my humble opinion.

Hmmmm covered 🤭 I also have IBasso DC04PRO, dragonfly red, Hiby FC4, Hiby FC1. The point is two main ones (RU6&M15), others for work, sports, travel and vacations. One more point of purchasing the RU7 besides sound signature was its power since sometimes Im lazy to listen HD650 and Neumann NDH20...

I have exactly same gear M15 RU6 IE600 and Iphone 11 pro max, I was wondering should I purchase RU7 despite I already have M15 and RU6. After your opinion (and others for that matter) I realize that I should skip this dac because it seems to me that RU7 is sonically about half way between R2R...

Absolutely agree

I use Cayin usb c to lightning cable (cca 20 usd) work perfectly, but I also use other OTG “audio” (“no name” 10-15 usd) usb c to lightning cables purchased from Aliexpress and they also work well with RU6. As from my experience with all dacs I have non of them working with standard charging...

I appreciate your effort but in my opinion, weird choice of music for testing RU6. I mean, Lucrezjq ORO NERO kind of music is for delta sigma dac testing not for R2R RU6 in my opinion is for vocal centric slow type of music, instrumental music (non electronic) so Jazz, Blues, Soul, Pop...

Did someone check if better quality signal comes from PC USB C or PC USB A port both 3.0 or better?

I said 1000 times, Hiby release half baked products priced like top notch products. All their products should be priced 30% (if that) of their actual price. To make analogy it’s more or less like if some Chinese car manufacturer attach well designed cheap shelf components in form of 5m long...

Look for settings in phone. I play with sound settings on windows PC and realize that it changes by changing in the sound settings properties to 44,48,192… if you set 384 RU6 will play 384. Don’t have android phone but check if there are some software updates you make lately maybe that is the...

As I told you I have (had) same clicking noice on Foobar (left channel) but I solved it. File>Pereferences>playback>DSP Manager than add Resempler (RetroArch) and set 44.1kHz and clicking sound disappears. My library is in wav format if that matters.

About dac/dap topic. Im not quite sure the point of DAP today. DACs are very good and in many cases better performing than most DAPs especially in sub 1000 usd category. Above that price in my opinion is ridiculous to spend money on DAP instead of good amp. Today we have phones, PCs, MACs whose...

From my experience with Hiby all their products are more or less half baked. There is no perfect product but there are few types of companies. Those who done right at first try, those who react fast when realize the problem exist and fix as soon as possible and than there are companies like Hiby...

I didn’t find any genre that not sound great, maybe some extremely busy stuff but even then dac sounds at least decent. This dac shines with vocal centric and instrumental based music, less so for electronic music for that you need good quality delta sigma dac. Questyle M15, L&P W2, Moondrop...

Exactly I use RU6 mainly with ie600 and do not feel that I need bit more extra resolution but those 5-10% I mentioned you can feel with ie100 pro or cheaper (less resolving and/or more bassy) set of IEMs but nothing significant that will turn you off. And you really have to analytically analyze...

Funny, I have those ticking on the left channel on foobar but nothing on windows player, music bee or Tidal, only foobar. And about SQ this dac is for those who like different smooth sound (life like) those who like crystal clear analytical sound could get any delta sigma dac from 50 usd and...

it is normal for r2r dac architecture (there are 10x9=99 volume steps and when switching from one set of resistors to another it is small mute of sound otherwise would be POP noise which is less convenience) What bothers me more is slight static pop noise at start when switching to new song on...

It’s not such a big problem relatively new and inexperienced brand (most of Chinese “hi-fi” brands) to have poor support or/and poor firmware platform/support or even poor quality and performance. The elephant in the room is pricing of such products! 300 usd for half baked product is a crime not...

Andy audio ranked fc6 1st place among 130+ dongles with 1 point difference between 2nd and 3rd place (RU6) otherwise both 5* top tier dongles. But… that’s only his opinion doesn’t mean that it’s true for everyone but obviously they are very close sonically. In everything else RU6 wins (power...
