Elevating Hi-Fi Experiences Since 1993
Explore CollectionDiscrete 1-Bit DAC architecture is typically found on heavy-duty setups. RU7 packs all these in a compact form factor and has seen improvements when compared to its predecessor, the RU6. It's an incredible DAC if you are someone who prefers pure analogue sound.
The additional balanced output power, the technical capability, and several All-To-DSD modes are just some of the key features that elevate and differentiate the RU7 from its peers and the competition.
The Cayin RU7 has a tuning which is more to the neutral side, but with its full body and powerful, controlled bass impact, it is a very musical and engaging DAC/AMP dongle. Cayin has certainly set the bar very high.
With a smooth, rich and musical tonality, RU7 is also the most versatile dongle I've used with the selection of high-end IEMs in my collection. Highly recommended.
With these additional features, extra power, and excellent sound quality, a dongle like RU7 can be a real competitor to most of the entry level and some mid-fi level DAPs.
Having listened to at least 40 with a wide range of IEMs and headphones over the past 4 years, the Cayin RU7 makes a very strong case for itself and especially at its asking price.
Cayin’s RU7 continues the company’s hot streak of breaking new ground in DAC design for the dongle format, the all-new 1-bit DAC in the RU7 is even more impressive than the R2R DAC in its predecessor.
