Cayin RU6: R-2R USB Dongle DAC with Head-Amp

Music only stutters for me if I am listening at very high volumes. It is more like clipping. Otherwise, no stutters for me. Hope you find a solution though. It is irritating.
Perhaps you could try on a phone to see if you get the same stutters? If not then perhaps it is an issue with the PC?

I have been listening to the Longyao Yinman 龙谣音曼 2.0 600Ω Limited Edition>RU6 (NOS High gain Vol 60)>PC (Win 11)>Roon. Just sublime! The analogue nature of the RU6 really brings to life the Yinman 600. The music is so lifelike and engaging. The star of the show is the bass of course. So textured and deep. Can't imagine this is sound coming from an earbud! I am in love!
It's crazy how well this tiny dongle holds its own against DAPs much more expensive than it. The fact that the Acoustune Sho is a fantastic IEM helps too ^ ^

Sounds like it could be a clock issue where the clock info from the RU6's DAC doesn't match the info coming from the computer. I only use my RU6 with my Android so I'm not sure what options you have, but if you've got a way to disable the clock info that may help.
It could also just be a simple buffer issue. If the buffer isn't big enough it will skip when the buffer runs out. Increase the buffer size and it may eliminate the problem as well.

Don't you find the RU6 to be a little under powered for the Yinman 600s? I have run my 600s on it a few times and they get loud enough and sound pretty good, but their performance, especially in terms of soundstage, control, and micro details, increased for me when using amplification capable of supplying more current for the very insensitive drivers used in the 600s.
They fact that I have to use such heavy duty equipment to get the best out of them, is one of the few criticisms I have of the Yinman 600s. Clearly they're capable of sounding pretty good on the RU6 so I'm not disagreeing. I'm just curious if you found the same increase in performance with a beefier amp/combo/source.
I am on high gain and volume at 55 and I do find the soundstage wide enough for me to enjoy jazz or some electronic. The RU6 renders mids so sweetly for me. However, switching over to my desktop rig obviously increases the stage size and this lets me enjoy classical symphonies much better.

Are there any longer type-c cables known to work with the RU6.

I've got some Joto 10-ft USB-A/USB-C cables from Amazon, that work fine with my USB-C connected DAC devices (Zishan DSDs, Shanling M0, Cayin RU6, HiBy RS6).
