I have the RU6 and I have never heard the RU7. Can you or anyone describe the differences in sound?

Please have a look here.

Nice review agree that RU6 is very tube sounding without being a tube amp.

If you set the RU6 to high gain with a volume of 76 you should get good results.

Thanks for sharing these settings.
I had a listening session yesterday and this is a very good pseudo line out solution for the RU6.
The background was completely dark, timbre was amazing but I still prefer RU7 more detailed sound signature.

Sold the RU6 after I purchased the RU7 and compared them side by side. When I have heard the clarity of the RU7 I did not wanted to go back to the RU6, even I liked the euphonic sound signature of the RU6 a lot. So it is really about what one is prioritising and not about good vs bad.

Whats the gain/volume level sweet spot to connect RU6 to an amp with 4.4 balanced? I am aware that in SE it is 76

If you are referring to double amping RU6 with an external amplifier, I don't think 76 for single-ended is the definite answer. I believe the number derived from my previous explanation on this subject, and 76 happens to be the sweet spot of a particular pairing.

Thanks for this. There is no definite sweet spot and it depends on the pairing. Unfortunately, my amp takes in balanced only, so I will carefully experiment and figure it out.

Question to those using the RU6 as a DAC to an external amp - do you set the RU6 to low gain or high gain?

I assume max volume too?

RU6 does not have a line-out feature. IF you want to connect RU6 as a DAC to an external amplifier, you'll be running your system with double amping because the headphone amplifier of RU6 is not bypassed.

Thank you very much for this.

My intention is to do double amp so I can use the RU6 with a topping NX7 and power a ZMF Atrium, for when feel like moving away from the desktop setup. I would go RU6 single ended out to NX7 single ended in.

Is there a chart similar to this one for the Mojo2, which shows the Vrms output at each different volume level. It would be good to know the output power levels at each of the volume steps on the RU6 single ended.

Thanks for all the info you've provided already. Very helpful.

This is voltage out put from Ru6 at max volume (100) then each step reduction of 5 level to volume70.
Unit milivolt
SE and Bal measurement.

SE 1082 - 800 - 600 - 451 - 334 - 240 -180.

BAL 2160 -1612 -1206 - 900 - 675 - 479 - 360

Hi I've read all your posts. Very helpful.

Still wondering whether you recommend using the RU6 with low gain or high gaming at your recommended volume setting (3.5mm within volume range 70 to 85)?

I didn't see it mentioned in your posts. Sorry if I missed it.
