I just ordered an RU6. I am hoping the lightning cable holds up.

Personally, did not work well with iPhones. iPad, it worked better.

ive been using my RU6 with my iphone with the included usbc to usbc cable and TC28i adapter and it has worked fine.

I really love the sound of the RU2. So much so that I purchased an RS6. However, I find that I don't use at all these days. I need to be able to control the volume from the source. That doesn't mean it's a bad product by any stretch; just not suitable for my specific use case.

I'm going to sell it with an unused blue case for 220USD (including shipping to cont. US). It is in excellent condition. Unfortunately I'm not able to find the original USB C>A adapter so I'm including the one from my LP W2.

If you're interested in a much loved, but little used RU2, shoot me a pm.

I'm the opposite. Now I have RU6, I'm planning on selling my RS6. My only complaint with RU2 is that it drains phone battery very fast.

@kadinh thanks for pointing out my error. I've corrected my post.

The dreaded EMI noise problem is still not solved even with my new FiiO shielded cable. It is less prominent though. But when carrying the RU6 and my phone in the same pocket, it will inevitably happen.

The RU6 shielding if it exists at all is really really bad.

This is still one of the best sounding dongle DACs in the World but if I had to review it now, I would give it 4 stars out of 5, because it cannot be used as intended with a phone on the go.

I will still try to get the leather case and DIY a shielding layer with aluminum foil inside of it, but there is no guarantee it will work

I use the RU6 with my iPhone when I’m commuting.. no EMI detected so far..

Another possible reason could be your headphone cables.. if they are properly built and shielded?

Received today from fiio.de From dimensions seems similar to cayin cable. I will try soon
Edit: with ibasso dongles and samw phone never heard interference

Money on garbage

Received my RU6 today. I have only been able to use it a short while. Initial impressions: this is one fantastic sounding dongle! I don't think the question or debate is to whether buy the RU6 or the W1/W2. The debate should be which one to buy first...

No EMI so far for me. I am using the Cayin lightning cable.

@MusicTeck had the unit to my door remarkably fast. Thanks, Andy!

Which phone or iem?

Which phone or iem?

iPhone 13 Pro and SeeAudio Bravery. I will test other IEMs later. I am initially finding that I prefer the OS mode for the RU6. Sweet but detailed. The NOS mode sounds rather jagged, at least initially, to my ears.

What is recommended burn-in period for the RU6?

After a few hours: the RU6 pairs sublimely with the Bravery. Wonderful synergy with the two. Single ended stock cable.

Power consumption from my iPhone is fairly significant. Anecdotally, more than L&P W1, certainly more than Paw S1.
