Best DAC/AMP Dongle - "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."
A reference portable headphone DAC/Amp for connection to your wireless device or computer. Or use it in line out mode as a portable resistor ladder DAC in a traditional hi-fi system. Be prepared for a level of sound quality, power, detail and musical engagement you’ve never imagined from a portable DAC.
“We’re absolutely spellbound by the sound quality of the Cayin RU7 paired with the Meze 109 Pro. Highly recommended.” Everest Audio
