Yes, same for me. Completely different tracking number From the IMR supplied one. Expected on Wednesday, which seems a lot later than I would have expected for Express service. Anyway, relief that it is on the way.

It`s gonepre-owned Semper on the site now btw
I saw that hehe, gonna guess that was you?It`s gone
Recently got a Cayin RU6 R2R dongle DAC. The reviews I read suggested it had a wide soundstage, but that hasn’t been my experience. With the SOGs, it completely destroys their wonderful expansive soundstage. With OMs and Elysiums it narrows them down a bit. On the flip side it adds some warmth and low end depth to the SOGs which does improve them in that area for me. What makes it a must keep for me is the combination with the Elysiums for vocal tracks. The RU6 brings the singer to the front, adds emphasis to the vocal and just sounds terrific, such a rich and realistic reproduction. I’ve tried a variety of DACS in the past and have been hard pressed to hear any difference between them, but even for my old ears there is something special about the RU6 for the vocals I like. I wouldn’t recommend it for symphonic music because of the narrow soundstage and lack of precision in instrument placing, but for vocals and Jazz definitely. I have it connected with a USB C cable direct to my MacBook Pro running Roon which is such a simple unassuming setup taking up virtually no desktop space. I got the Cayin Lightning to USB C cable so I can use it with my iPhone as well but I miss having Roon on the iPhone.

You should try Hiby RS6 which is also R2R. Similar quality vocals but the soundstage I think you would find much better. Although I haven't tried the RU6.Recently got a Cayin RU6 R2R dongle DAC.

Cayin RU6: 329€
Hiby RS6: 1399€
I was just about to post that....BUT!!!
Cayin RU6: 329€
Hiby RS6: 1399€
That was my feeling exactly. Thought about it and went for RU6 and stay with my HiBy R6 Pro. And of course I can use the Hiby as a transport for the RU6.

If you have a chance, try Lotoo Paw S1, it has the same form factor, but different inside. Sounds really lovely with iem comparing to the standard laptop audio outputRecently got a Cayin RU6 R2R dongle DAC.
