Gentle softness, great spatial presentation and silky smooth sound on mests mk2.
I’m amazed, last time I’ve heard smth similar was some old 90s (presumably) dac with tda1541

Nice bass, gently pushing from down below. great spatial feeling - if i close my eyes i see how someone plays these instruments (not sure what they called)
I'm on my 7th hour with dongle and it truly is one of a kind

Discrete design means the dongle will likely benefit from break-in and should get better with time and usage.

It will. Rule number 1 here - enjoy music and rest will happen in time

It is a bit disingenuous to show pricing of the W4EX; the W4 msrp is $482. That is two Benjamins more than a RU7 and 67% more costly. RU7 is the real breakthrough product when value is added to the equation.

I’m interested in the W4EX. I don’t see anything wrong in putting this vs RU7 for comparison. As noted in the link the price difference is very close between them - 30$

Both bring their own breakthroughs - One designed it’s own dac chip and uses extremely low power + brings incredible record breaking desktop level measurements (dynamic range/thd) and the other has its own discrete circuitry for 1 bit etc

It was said it is Cirrus Logic chip in a package, no?
Please let us know if you compare both

 

[NewEve]

Absolutely

def warmest is ru6 smoothest is ru7

RU6... R2R the most musical and warm dac ever...

Thanks guys

Highs and instrumental:
Effortless and very life like. Very organic. Extremely beautiful!

Have you tried it only on an iPhone with the Qobuz app? simple this application does not have a driver for direct access to hardware. unlike UAPP...
I don't know for sure, maybe there is no direct access to hardware for the Apple ecosystem at all.
It's just that I understand that if you and Apple are delighted, then what will happen to the PC (win) and Android do you have the opportunity to try RU7 with any smartphone on Android? anyone will do, even the most budget for 90-100$

Reporting:
Yes I did, past 4-5 hours only PC, on exclusive mode. Sc from iPhone are more convenient.

So, mest Mk2 with this wonder was extremely good, mesmerizing.

But after I switched to Anole V14, well, I got used to a little “flat” presentation of mest so to say.
on anole it’s a total 3d - depth is incredible, I can’t stop thinking how good it is. All music becomes richer, more dimensional, more lifelike.

In short- it’s an extremely organic, natural, but even more, it’s visceral and complex. Even old songs from 70s - 80s sound like I’ve never heard them. Really reminiscent of only one close experience- multi bit chips based dacs, more precisely 1704k graded sound. It’s very organic, less flawless, less liquid, but very close to, like 75-80%.

I wonder how it will compare to HM1000 gold?

More to follow, stay tuned!

I think most of the dongles are too bright sounding . Have you experienced any fatiguing harsh trebles on ru7 ?

 

[daijobudes]

No, I think I have pointed out that it sounds organic
Nothing is making any fatigue. Also, probably I need to put it like this:
I’ve listened to RU7 for the past 12 hours almost all the time. I don’t feel fatigue except for the tips I used on Mest (Fiio ones)absolutely no fatigue. No ear ringing. It’s extremely comfortable sounding, no harshness.
I must’ve added it in bold print. Sorry about that.
It’s a different sound signature- no plastic feeling, no fatigue. It does not sound like DS chip dacs. It’s natural.

 

[daijobudes]

It also sounds extremely well on ultra low volumes ( everything is clear and well pronounced)
I’ve been drafting a document for 1-1:30hrs with music on background using mests, volume was around 10.
it was enjoyable.

As is the RU6. Did you listen to the RU6 for long enough to offer a fair comparison to the RU7? Would be interested to know as I wait in anticipation for the arrival of the RU7. Can't wait!

Any recommendations for good usb-c cable for the dongle? am considering the ddhifi ones.

I'm waiting for a Shanling L3... they say it's very good compared to the price... let's hope.
