The RU6 and 7hz Timeless is a killer pairing! I listen with total amazement, and want for nothing with this combo.

Anyone compared the RU6 with the Mojo 2? If so, thoughts?
None of these dongles are going to be able to compete with the Mojo2 in any form aside from perhaps a tonal similarity.Anyone compared the RU6 with the Mojo 2? If so, thoughts?

Size for sure! Wondering if the warm analogue sound of R2R RU6 can me accomplished with the DSP EQ on Mojo 2 and then have the freedom to adjust for other sound signatures of other dongles or accordingly for headphones/IEMs. I currently just have a set of 64Audio A12ts. Obviously cant really change the soundstage but sound profile freedom would be cool.size?

Low Gain/High Vol?
Any opinion on using low gain with higher volune, vs. High gain with lower volume??

I have been enjoying my Focal Elegias (Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin pads) with the RU6, out of my iPad Pro.
It drives the Focals with a firm grip. Great match IMHO.

I have obtained the RU6 since this remark. To my ears, better than S1, S2, W2. But still, nowhere close to Mojo2. That said, probably the best dongle I've heard. W2 is more defined but rather anemic in timbre.None of these dongles are going to be able to compete with the Mojo2 in any form aside from perhaps a tonal similarity.

I also enjoyed the RU6 over all the ones you listed. By a long shot. It has so much more character but still maintains details and all the other technical stuff.I have obtained the RU6 since this remark. To my ears, better than S1, S2, W2.

What does it lack in comparison to Mojo 2 in your mind?
The Mojo 2 basically has more authority in every area - power, dynamics, imaging, detail, soundstage, etc.I also enjoyed the RU6 over all the ones you listed. By a long shot. It has so much more character but still maintains details and all the other technical stuff.

But this is to be expected: the RU6 is a dongle, Mojo 2 is a DAC/AMP unit that can compete with 1k DAPs (if not beyond).
RU6 is very good, though. Cayin have done a great job on it.
I'd also say - I was quite impressed with both C9 and WA8 pairing on the RU6 despite the lack of LO. It scales well especially on SE mode.

@audio123 That PW Audio connector looks very nice. Please relate any feedback about how it changed the quality. I'm a sucker for a good connector...
