High-Resolution Audio and RISC-V Architecture
Powered by the SPV5068 processor, built on a RISC-V dual-core architecture, RU3 supports PCM 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD512 playback. The processor ensures fast response, low distortion, and broad compatibility across major operating systems —including Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.
Dual Power Modes — Smart Efficiency
Users can select between two Power Modes: HYP and STD.
Hyper (HYP) Mode: Delivers full power output and extended dynamics.
Standard (STD) Mode: Operates at lower power for cooler, more efficient performance.
Quad Balanced Drive Architecture
RU3 uses a quad balanced amplifier structure with two TI OPA1602 op-amps and two SGM8262 low-noise amplifiers.
This setup delivers clean output and wide dynamic range while keeping noise impressively low.
Even with its small size, RU3 can easily power most earphones and portable headphones.
Balanced Output: 560 mW + 560 mW (32Ω, HYP Mode)
Single-Ended Output: 180 mW + 180 mW (32Ω, HYP Mode)
