Look at my test.

Looks like my potato side from last night's dinner... 1 hour 400F Air-Fry on the toaster oven - yummy!

Does anyone own the RU6 and the Cayin N6ii with the R01 module?

Cost/features/ergonomics etc. aside, would the R01 be a better option for someone with the N6ii?

I think exists a compairison in the review of @twister6

Maybe it has already been asked, but how does it compare to Lotoo Paw S1?

Is it a step forward worth € 150 more?

Thanks! Yes, @Ritvik, I had my take on it at the end of comparison section in RU6 review. Of course, just a personal opinion. Don't think it's a better option, just a different flavor which is more convenient for sure.

My 800s sounds like this on its amp (hdvd800):

And it sounds like this when ru6 inserted to the path:

I love latter way.
I dont need to watch how sharp tiger whisker are, how constrast and dynamic of colors, how detail the hairs are...

Just feel of the realistic of a tiger picture.
Is that more "analog"?
Is the upper one quite digital, artifact?

For the cost of just buying the r01 board, yes I’d do it in a heartbeat.
My RU6 is nice to have around but it doesn’t get used hardly ever.

Biggest thing to navigate is the tuning differences. R01 has better resolution, more clear, more layered, more powerful. But is brighter than ru6 and doesn't have the NOS option.

Perspective:
I don’t know anyone saying ru6 is better than M8 or sp2000. But quite a few like R01 better.

Different league’s.
Ru6 could cost $500 more than S1 and I’d believe it.
I have s1 kicking around but it gets used less than the ru6. Actually never, lol. Its backup.

My current sound quality list:
Cayin n6ii Ti
Ar-M2
Ru6
DacportHD (somewhat new)
S1
Cobalt

Since you also mention the Dragonfly Cobalt, I will say that it is my favorite sound among the dacs / amps I have tried.

I liked it more than Chord Mojo, IFI Micro IDSD Black Label, Xduoo XD-05 Plus, FIIO BTR5.

In my opinion a compairison between dap and dongle is nice but it is more logic to compare dongle with dongle

I've never had an issue with the L&P W2 previously either. On the go, it's almost always with IEMs, kind of difficult to draw too much power. I only tried the 800S on a lark, and was pleasantly surprised it actually managed to be driven to loud volumes, sounding full and not lacking any power.

Anyway, I'm not planning to use it with the iPhone. Will only be using it with the MacBook Pro or the iPad when I'm working / reading where it isn't convenient to be using the 300Max.

That said, approaching 40hr burn-in! Eagerly awaiting 100hrs~ I hope I can hear a difference from the Sigma Delta DAPs!

How does the W2 compare to the RU6 connected to an iPhone/iPad? Do you have any interference noise with the RU6?

No interference with iPad Pro to RU6

Both had interference with iPhone / with phone in close proximity.

I do not own the W2 any longer, but I sold it because my 300Max made it obsolete.

I intend to keep the RU6 because it is a different architecture and complements what I currently own.

Using it with an iPhone Xs, I would get an occasional “blip” if I asked the phone to do something computational. I could never tie anything to EM interference—it was always coincident with the phone being busy…

I have never had it cut out, even during 3 hour listening sessions or longer through an iPhone 12 Pro to the RU6 to Etymotic EVO IEMs with a balanced SuperBaX cable from the 4.4mm jack. My volume level is usually around 36 to 39 with this setup.

Hi,
is the RU6 a good pairing with the EVO? Is it worth to get if I have a Chord Mojo? I was thinking maybe the R2R sound could smooth and make the sound of the BA drivers a bit more meaty in the EVO
