Description

RU6 Portable USB DAC Headphone Amplifier

Cayin RU6 Portable USB DAC /Headphone-Amp Dongle featuring a 24-bit Discrete R-2R Resistor Ladder DAC, user Selectable NOS/OS Digital to Analog Mode and High Precision Resistor Array Volume Control supporting DSD256 and up to PCM 384kHz.

Cayin RU6 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier has the basic idea of an R-2R ladder is a matched pair of two resistors, the first is “R” and the other is “2R” which has twice the value of R.

To achieve 24bit R-2R decoding, Cayin needs 48 pieces of resistors (23xR and 25x2R) for one channel or 96 pieces of high-precision resistors for stereo.

R-2R is famous for its natural and realistic sound signature, it’ll offer a very different experience to music lovers.



NOS or OS Dual DA Mode

Non-Oversampling:

  • Maintain the original sampling rate of the source bitstream.
  • Digital filterless, no post-processing, optimised in the time domain, low phase distortion and jitter, no ringing artefact.
  • Musical with vivid emotions sounds natural, organic and coherent.

Oversampling:

  • Increases sampling rate (upsampling) through interpolation before DA.
  • Enhances resolution, reduces noise and improves anti-aliasing, optimised in the frequency domain.
  • Impressive details and frequency extension, clean and sharp presentation with a darker background.


Discrete Volume Control

R-2R DAC circuit is very demanding on incoming data integrity, and the digital volume of mobile phones will damage sound quality badly.

When off-the-shelf volume options cannot meet the high precision, low noise, low power consumption requirements of RU6, Cayin developed their own discrete resistor array volume control.

0-99 steps volume control through 9 segments of resistors and switching relays, meet all the RU6 requirements and transparent to maintain the natural sound signature of R-2R DAC.



Intuitive and Versatile

  • Hardware volume buttons for convenient control, doubled as menu selection when entering Mode settings.
  • 1″ OLED screen displays playback information with good visibility.
  • 3.5mm and 4.4mm phono out to fit your earphone collection.

Ultimate Dual Main Boards Layout

  • To minimise interference, RU6 circuitry is split into TWO 6-layer PCBs, with digital and analogue circuits installed in separate boards.
  • Safeguard signal integrity and make sure the noise from the reference clock and DSP will not bleed into the amplification circuit.


Low Power Consumption Highly Compatible

Discrete R-2R is a low-power DAC circuit when compared to other highly integrated DAC chipsets on the market, minimising power drain from mobile sources.

USB Audio with shielded USB-C connector, compatible with a wide range of mobile, consumer electronics and computers.

High Resolution and High Fidelity

High-end digital audio compatibility.

  • PCM: supports up to 384kHZ
  • DSD: supports DSD64/128/256

Choice of High/Low gain to enhance performance with different IEM or portable friendly headphones.
