I love R2R DACs. I’m listening to my denafrips ares RN. I haven’t heard the hifiman EF400 but reviewers I trust liked it a lot. I’d like to add if you’re looking for affordable R2R that Cayin RU6 is really good and less than half the price of the ef400. Ef400 is a super handsome desktop unit.

Is cayin RY6 as good as ef400?

I haven’t heard both but cayin ru6 is a discrete r2r and ef400 is a chip based r2r. I would imagine the cayin DAC may have a slight edge but the ef400 is a much better amp, especially if you want power.
