The Cayin RU6 has two headphone outputs, 3.5mm single ended and 4.4mm balanced. The hardware volume control buttons are backed by a sophisticated resistor ladder volume circuit, and users can select between Non-Oversampling or Oversampling mode through a simple menu setting. The RU6’s DAC features an in-house developed 24bit Discrete R-2R resistor ladder circuit that can decode up to 384kHz (PCM: supports up to 384kHz & DSD: supports DSD64/128/256). By the time Cayin completed the R01 Audio Motherboard for the N6ii DAP, they noticed that the R-2R resistor ladder network could be implemented as a low power consumption DAC circuit that offers outstanding audio performance. The reason why they got into the dongle market – according to Cayin – is because they were not satisfied with the highly integrated off-the-shelf solutions available out there. The RU6 is the first portable USB DAC/Amp from Cayin. The Cayin RU6 is selling for $249,99USD and it is the first ever dongle to feature Discrete 24 bit R2R tech. You can find the dedicated web page for the RU6 here. The Cayin RU6 is a small DAC/AMP dongle featuring R2R technology, which is super popular nowadays. The R01 is an R2R board and that’s also the technology inside the unit we’re looking at today, the Cayin RU6. The last Cayin units we reviewed was the C9 transportable amp and the R01 motherboard for the N6II. If you’re still interested in finding out more about the Chinese company, then you can do so here. Lately Cayin has strongly been focusing on the portable market as well with successful units such as t he N5ii, the N3, the N6II, the C9 and the reference N8. “We deliver music diligently, and we are prepared to go a long way for that. Cayin has developed over 500 products to date and they have received over 70 awards. Their equipment ranges from around US$100 to just below US$10,000 per item, covering the needs of different requirements and budgets. Their focus has mostly been on dedicated HiFi equipment, covering every chain in the music reproduction path, from CD players to speakers, but the essence is no doubt their tube amplifiers. So on to the review!Ĭayin was founded in 1993 and it is a premium Chinese high end audio brand. We’re a bit late with this Cayin RU6 review however, mea culpa for that but even if it isn’t the newest, it still is a great and popular device deserving a closer look. Think AudioQuest, Fiio, Cayin, EarMen, xDuoo, etc. There are some really good and affordable USB dongles out there from the bigger brands and looking at those probably gives you a 90% on the market and possibilities. It’s almost impossible to follow up on all of them, but in all honesty, I don’t think that’s needed either. Cayin is in no way related to Headfonia.ĭongles are getting more and more popular and there must be dozens of brands right now with a USB Dongle in their product line-up. In this article we review the $249.99 USD Cayin RU6 R2R DAC/AMP dongle.ĭisclaimer: The Cayin RU6 was sent to us free of charge by Cayin directly in exchange for this review.
