Have we been told how much power this draws from an iPhone? Is it significantly more than the Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter?

The same as W2, I measured about 110-120mA (using 4.4mm out)

It online streaming will take place at Bilibili room no. 22110062. This streaming will be conducted in CHINESE only. That's why I didn't post the detail to English speaking community.

No idea about Bilibili room stuff, is there a direct link for the video?

 

[twister6]

very excited for it. I hope there will be some comparison between this and R01 module soon. I'm debating on which to buy

The same tech (discrete R-2R), but 2 different functionalities, with RU6 being standalone and at less then half the price. Apples and oranges, right?

Also different resistors than R01.

Does the RU6 have an HID function? Would be really nice if we can toggle it on/off in the menu.

Excellent, let me puff up my sofa pillows, take my shoes and trousers off and butter up the popcorn...

Right on time! Thanks for the live broadcast! Waiting for the C9 giveaway

@Andykong

Congratulations ! Nearly half the power of R01 for about 40% of the price. This should be excellent for IEMs and headphones (especially > 100 dB/mW and < 50 ohms)

Pre-orders for RU6 have been resumed on MusicTeck.

 

[emilsoft]

213mw in 32ohm is quite generous for a dongle. Any info on the amplification topology?

 

[ClieOS]

Just placed a pre-order on Cayin Taobao store.

I was on the verge of getting the W2 but have just placed a pre-order for RU6 on Musicteck, looking forward to hearing this!
