I personally found the modern tube mode to strike the best balance, especially when paired with my Shanling HW600 – awesome headphone by the way- but more on that later.

Even better, the signal path remains powered by premium components at every step: JRC NJW1195A volume controller, dual LDOs (TPS7A4901 + LP5907), and a low-ripple LT8334 DC/DC converter – the kind of layout that screams no-compromise engineering.

The result? A circuit that not only handles high-resolution files with ease, but delivers them with finesse – whether you’re plugged into the balanced 4.4mm out or the regular 3.5mm jack. An outstanding foundation for the RU9’s dual-amp topology, and one that clearly sets it apart from mid-range competitors – despite the relatively low price of the DAC.
