Happy to report this works quite well, and my RU7 now sounds as good with my phone (S22+), as it does when it's powered by my iMac 27". Got to love good clean nonrestricted power.

Out of interest, is that the Anker Power Bank 325? And what USB C splitter cable are you using? Many thanks.

It's the smaller Anker 313 Power Bank - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QXV6N1B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

The power bank is the exact same dimensions as my Samsung S22+, and they stack perfectly.

iBasso CB19 is the Y-cable.

Both work flawlessly with the RU7.

btw does ru7 have after market case? it would be good if there's something like hard plastic case

I purchased the iBasso CB19 directly from their web site but cannot seem to get any information about my order. Did you order it from them directly or from an audio store?

Directly, and I paid for express shipping and received within a week.

I never got any confirmation of shipping until I asked.

Ok, I paid for express shipping as well

@Wes S , thanks for sharing . I have these additions on order. Looking forward to squeezing even more sonic quality from the RU7 & 6

My RU7 has only lasted me 2 months. I have used it an average of 1/2 hour daily. Today it turns on but it doesn't sound. I have tried it on a PC and another mobile phone and the same response, there is no sound. I am very sorry that I have to return it.

I am already on my second unit and concerned how long it is going to last

Mine lasted about 40 days.
Fortunately my dealer is sending me a new one.

Wow, surprised to hear about these reliability problems. Mine is fine, but then I don't use it a lot (other gear to use so usage gets spread out). I wonder if it is a bad manufacturing lot?

Yep, I asked and it shipped!

Yes, there are too many cases of failures in the Cayin RU7, we should ask those responsible for the company for explanations. I imagine that they have received these units with defects and they can tell us something, it is a good hifi device, but I am not sure whether to buy another one today seeing these problems.

@Shanling does monitor the thread, so maybe they can comment.

Please note that usually those who don’t have issues don’t post that they don’t have problems, while those who do have issues are more likely to post about their problems. Combine this with confirmation bias - the tendency to relate to / believe data or observations that conform to what you believe - and the result could be that small issues could appear to be large to those experiencing those problems… I am not saying there isn’t a bigger problem, just saying it is hard to draw a conclusion.

Ugh, not sure why we are tagged here, was there any discussion of Shanling devices in this Cayin thread recently?
