CAYIN RU7 – TURNS YOUR SMARTPHONE INTO A HIRES AUDIO PLAYER
The Chinese manufacturer Cayin, in this country directly from the Cayin Audio Distribution GmbH represented, has with the ru7 introduced a new dongle DAC. This replaces the DAC and (if still available) headphone output contained in iPhones and other smartphones with a high-quality external solution. For iPhones with Lightning there is an additional Adapter necessary. A circumstance that will probably disappear with future iPhones, which will probably have USB-C.
Once connected between the iPhone and headphones, the RU7 converts the digital audio stream into an audible analog signal. The RU7 can also be used on a Mac. While an R-2R circuit was used in the RU6, Cayin now uses a symmetrical 1-bit resistor network with 128 thin-film resistors in the RU7, arranged in four groups with 32 resistors each. The type of circuit is similar to that of the DAP N7 (see TechTicker), which Cayin presented at Canjam just a few months ago.
All technical details about the RU7 can be found on the product page. The device is available immediately at an RRP of 349 euros. A Cayin Lightning to USB-C adapter costs 24 euros.
