Description: Cayin RU6 Portable Discrete R2R Resistor Ladder DAC + Headphone AmplifierR-2R Goes MobileMost modern dongle DACs use an off-the-shelf delta-sigma chip implementation. But these days, some music lovers crave the sound only R-2R implementation can provide.An older technology that’s been making a comeback, R-2R is known to produce rich, realistic, natural sound and can have benefits in spatial awareness and staging. But because this type of design requires expensive high-precision matched resistors (and a lot of them), it's been prohibitively costly and difficult to miniaturize. Cayin finally made it happen. RU6 is remarkably compact, portable, and power efficient given its technology, and weighs only 28g. 24-Bit Discrete Ladder Resistor NetworkR-2R DACs are based on how each bit of the binary sample represents a certain amount of voltage. It starts with a matched pair of two resistors: the first is 'R' and the other is '2R' which has twice the value of R.To achieve 24-bit R-2R decoding, we need 48 resistors per channel — that's 96 high-precision resistors for stereo sound, which you'll find in Cayin RU6. Cayin has incorporated resistors that are not only compact, but deliver precision and remain stable even as temperature fluctuates.Two Digital to Analog ModesCayin has added a classic NOS/OS or oversampling filter feature for the RU6 so that users can experience the stock sound of the R-2R DAC, with an option to switch on oversampling for additional perceived clarity and smoothness.Non Oversampling (NOS)Maintains the original sampling rate of the source bitstream, with no digital filters or post-processingLow phase distortion and jitterMusical, natural, organic and coherent soundOversampling (OS)Increases sampling rate (upsampling) through interpolation before digital to analog conversionEnhances resolution, reduces noise, and improves anti-aliasingImpressive details and extension, for a clean and sharp presentation
