@Andykong Do I have to buy a USB-C to lightning cable seperately? Because on the website, it says the otg cable is "optional accessory"

[
USER=378311]@twister6[/USER] Which one do you think, between the RU6 and W2, would be a better pair for the UM Mest MK2 if you don't me asking? Talking about sound quality, since I see you have the Mest MK2 as well. Thank you!

Yes, the USB-C to lightning cable is an optional accessory, you need to buy it separately. By the way, you don't have to buy a Cayin USB-C to lightning cable for your RU6. Any MFI certified or reputable USB-C to lightning cable should works fine.

Hi Andy,

Your website advises " *Please use shielded USB cable "

I assume the supplied USB C cable is shielded?
I guess this is to avoid/reduce interference from a mobile phone?

The USB-C to USB-C cable provided in RU6 is shielded. However that's a very short interconnect, we expect some users might need a longer USB-C to USB-C cable if they want to keep the DAP in backpack, and holding the RU6 to adjust volume while listening to their IEM on-the-go, or when they want to connect RU6 to as desktop computer. For these reason, we want to remind our users that if the need to use a different USB-C to USB-C cable, please make sure they use a shielded cable.

Shielded cable will reduce interference from 4G/5G, WiFi, BT and other wireless signal. If your were in congested public transportation, the interference might come from other mobile phones around you.

Got my pre-order in but just thought of question (probably for @Andykong ):

Not terribly important, but does the 'Mode' button also work for pausing/playing/skipping tracks?

Also, when used with Android phones, will in-line mic/remote cables work through the RU6's 3.5mm output?

No playback control.

Musicteck has created a UPS tracking info for my RU6 order. So it is going to get shipped out today and expecting it to arrive in 2 days (USA)
When did you place your order? Mine is still in unfulfilled status.

@Andykong hi. Now the release is official, you know some E.U. seller? Thanks in advance

German seller: https://cayin.com

I sent them email query and their reply on Monday 29th advised:
"it will be available by the end of next week.
You can pre order for 329€ (-3% pre-order discount) and free shipping within Germany.
"

I replied asking if they ship for free within the EU as most of their other items are listed as " Free shipping within the EU from 100€"
I will reply back when/if I get a reply on shipping in EU.
