Glad to hear this. I've got both ER4SR and ER2SE and my RU6 should be delivered in a couple days.

Do let us know how you find the pairing.

I'm experiencing the kind of static and hissing at the end of and in between tracks that other users have reported, using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and the stock cable (I believe the unit is fine, because I don't hear this when it's plugged into a PC; airplane mode, wi-fi / cellular off, bluetooth disabled...none of it has any effect). I noticed that if I turn my iPhone volume down from 100%, the sound actually gets louder through the RU6 (volume control on the PC has no effect).

When I decrease the volume on the RU6 to compensate, the static and hissing disappears. This doesn't seem to be the recommended configuration (documentation says run source at 100%), but other than eliminating the static I can't hear any other audible differences, certainly nothing negative.

Has anyone else experienced this? How does turning down the iPhone as a source make the signal from the RU6 louder?

I haven't experimented to see where the cutoff is, but the noise is definitely audible when the RU6 is >60 on volume, below 40 I can't really hear it.

EDIT: I discovered that this "backwards" volume control was the result of me selecting "headphones" when first plugging in the RU6. After clearing the settings for USB devices, I selected "other device" when connecting, and now the volume control has no effect (as expected). The static I was experiencing in between and at the end of tracks is also gone. Hope this helps someone else in the future! I am now absolutely enamored with this dongle (except I fear for the longevity of the USB cable, so a third-party OTG cable is on the way).

This doesn't work for my S23. The toggle is gray, it can't be enabled.

What Samsung do you have?

Did you have ru6 connected when trying?
Mine Note20Ultra

Yes, I had it connected. Maybe this works on models that still have a 3.5 jack.

The Cayin RU6 with step-down switching power supply (hub) and adequate amplification (RA2BFE) reaches very high levels. Once its limits (supply-amplification) are removed it becomes pure poetry...

Do let us know how you find the pairing.

Update: still haven't used the 4SR since I got the 2SE , but the 2SE with the Cayin RU6 sounds really good. The timbre has improved some, note decay is a little longer and they're a little more dynamic and enjoyable compared to the apple dongle. Sound is also more enveloping and less of a "2D soundstage ". Very happy so far. I've also been using it to drive my HD600s and they sound amazing. Bottlehead crack /speedball on the way however, to drive the senns. But the RU6 with the Etys is definitely my default portable pairing from now on.

Found this matter on my Tab s9.
Dont know why UHQ did not allow when plug ru6 in while my note20 ultra does.

How did you clear the settings for USB devices on your iphone?

How did you clear the settings for USB devices on your iphone?

You’d never guess…

Settings -> Sounds & Haptics -> Headphone safety -> USB audio accessories

Then delete the items that you accidentally said were headphones.

Just got this device today.

If I use the default Windows 10 UAC2 driver, all is ok. If I use the latest Cayin driver, the audio interrupts every 2-5 seconds. While the audio is interrupted, I can hear the same noise as when you change the volume and you go to the next stage.

I would like to be able to play DSD, and as far as I understand you can only do that with Cayin's driver.

Do any of you encountered this issue?

I still have this issue, even though I reinstalled Windows (assuming there was something wrong on my part).

I still have this issue, even though I reinstalled Windows (assuming there was something wrong on my part).

I had no issues with windows10 + RU6 with foobar asio exclusive access. Was able to play dsd files. And had no stutters with Neutron player as well. Moved on to mac now and it's a pain as the local music playback always goes through resampling and no way to bypass it.

Is the RU6 a good match with a monarch mk2?

I did read some post earlier in this thread about it getting bass heavy, I just cancelled my order for the RU6 but I've got a bit of time till they act on it. I really liked the idea of a unique analog take with old DAC tech, some of the old pro gear sounded great due to this stuff. But After spending about 8 hours with the new MK2 via my RME babyface pro directly it sounded great, better than the Lehmann BCL which I thought was sounding a bit dull, odd because I thought it was a bright amp on its higher voltage settings. the MK2s love the RME for my ears. Though on the other hand I like that I read the RU6 has a tad bit of mid boost, but I'm worried this MK2 thing is near perfect and that it'll upset the apple cart.
