Did you try switching OS/NOS modes? Although I can't call neither fatiguing.
Could it be some demanding headphone causing to clip or something?

It gets better after 15hrs burn in. Fatiguing Maybe wrong word. A bit harsh might be better wordCan't believe you're saying this about RU6. Could be some sort of EQ on your source? Or the cayin is faulty...

Source: Note 20 ultra at max volume with wifi and cellular of playing wav and aif locally from mem cardWhat is your source to RU6? mobile phone or PC? Can you set USB bit-perfect USB Audio (or exclusive USB Audio) path for RU6? What is the volume value of your mobile phone/PC and RU6 when you pair your RU6 with Hifiman edition xs and Fiio FH7 respectively?

Sorry, I have to totally disagree. I find many ESS dacs that I own to be more edgy in terms of treble and upper mids - especially the ESS dacs that opt for a completely silent noise floor and extremely detailed, high clarity sound signature - which I now (having had the RU6 for 6 months) find to be quite sterile and the opposite of musical.From a test here at Head-fi:
... while it comes as a surprise that the RU6 is a touch metallic sounding in the upper mids/treble and can become just a bit edgy.
The RU6 is somewhat bolder and aggressive compared to the Go bar which is calmer and more polite.
Ive tried out the m15 in comparison. its a bit more clinical in how it sounds, what you are meant to hear in the most digital sense. Yet, its still natural in its presentation.Sorry, I have to totally disagree.

The RU6 has an amazing balance - it is still very detailed and offers great soundstage and clarity across the whole frequency range whilst maintaining an analogue, musical vibe across most genres of music that I just can't seem to get with ESS or AKM dacs. I do know some people have said that the Questyle M12 & M15 has a more analogue tuning/implementation of its ESS dac chips. And I'd love to know how the iBasso DC06 sounds.

The RU-6 is silent with low impedance IEMs and is just a lovely experience overall.Curious to see how my IEM's...sounds.
