Full review of Cayin RU7. Latest flagship dongle from Cayin offering the exotic 1 Bit Resistors Array DAC

Addendum: I may have been mistaken in my understanding of the DAC classification for RU7. Both RU6 and RU7 are Resistors Array DAC, but it is specifically mentioned by Cayin that RU7 is a "Fully Balanced Resistor Networks, Discrete 1-Bit DSD DAC" and RU6 "24 Bit Discrete R-2R". But they are both definitely Resistors Array DAC as opposed to Delta Sigma. I apologize if I have caused some confusion on this subject, I should have dug a bit more on the finer details. Thanks
