I was hinting at a transportable device (Hip-DAC, Mojo... size) and not a dongle. As a dongle, RU6 is already on a slightly larger size and adding a battery to increase the size and weight would be bad. A separate product that sits between RU6 and N6ii + R01, My LG G8x battery level went from 95% to 23% when connected to RU6 (~5 Hours) and having a DAC with it's own battery would mean longer battery for my phone, not to mention more power to drive Headphones better.
Even if such a device costs 2x the price of R01, it's still better than getting N6ii + R01 right? especially for those not looking for a large DAP. I don't know how the pricing is in other places but here N6ii is ~1,500 USD and importing R01 would be ~550 USD excluding customs. So, a portable DAC 2x the price of R01 would be ~1,100 USD vs ~2,000 USD for N6ii + R01.
As a company, definitely understandable.
Let stay with SRP as that will make life easier for me, if I discuss discounted price publicly, I'll be disliked by my dealers.
R01 is $619, if we works on someohting 2x R01, that will be $1249.
I have seen someone done this before, actually quite a few have done this:
N6ii+T01 is $1199, N6ii+T01+R01 = $1818, sell T01 to recover some cost, say $250, the final price is $15xx.
In fact, that's why 600 units of N6ii-Ti sold out quicly, at $1899, the premium are a lot less than other Titanium DAP options.
