    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    Great, thanks for confirming. Looking forward to it being implemented. Not sure if you can convey one more thing to the team. The Hiby player currently doesn't allow the use of apostrophes or certain other characters in the search bar. So for example I'm unable to correctly spell the word...

    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    How would I do so? The DAC screen has two tabs top right - one for Bluetooth and the other goes to Audio Settings. As I explained there's no MSEB or PEQ when you go into audio settings and from the DAC screen there's no option to swipe up, at least on my unit. Please let me know. Much appreciated!

    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    It would be great if Hiby could give us access to the MSEB and PEQ menu in USB DAC mode. At the moment audio settings in DAC mode are limited to amp, turbo, gain but no PEQ or MSEB or even plugins or filters. However these settings remain active in DAC mode anyway. The Hiby technical team can...

    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    @Joe Bloggs would you be able to tell me where each one - MSEB, PEQ and plugins sit in the chain if all three are active?

    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    Thanks but i'm fully aware it doesn't work on these formats. I'm trying to target the upper treble and I can't seem to push it down by any means using the PEQ. Please test the PEQ for yourself. Try and push down 16khz using a couple bands, wide or narrow Q, peak filter by like -10db and see...

    HiBy R8 II - HiBy's New High-End DAP

    Does anyone use the PEQ on the R8ii? I'm wondering why it doesn't behave like any other equaliser I've used. For example I could select a few peak filters and do a massive cut amounting to -13db between 10khz - 16khz but no way does it sound like a -13db cut. The upper high frequencies are still...

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    The atom module technology works using air transfer. Hence if the port is covered there is maximum isolation and there's no pressure relief, also maximum bass. Which is why red is largest opening and gold smallest vent.

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    Just to mention I have dozens of tips. It's not that I can't get a good seal. My ear anatomy covers the atom module unless I use a shallow fit and annoyingly shallow fit means the kinetic bass driver is further away from my ear. Hence the inconsistent sound in my case.

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    I asked Fir Audio if they can covert universals to custom and they said they don't do that anymore. Perhaps @bogdan belonozhko could clarify for everyone? Also to note customs get a much longer warranty period - 3 years I believe as opposed to 1 with universals.

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    After investing heavily in a universal Xe6 and Rn6, I do wish I had gone custom. I perceive the sound as regularly inconsistent. That is to say sometimes it's excellent and sometimes not. My overall feeling is that the universals are more catered towards people with smaller ears. Even with a...

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    Just want to add I recently started experimenting with a shallower fit and I'm getting much better results with Rn6 and Xe6. I used to believe I needed to jam them as far as I could in the ear so that I could get more kinetic bass but actually seems a shallower fit whilst maintaining a good seal...

    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    I believe the E12 cable is the same as the one that comes with the Rn6 unless I am mistaken. In which case there are many impressions. When I pair the Rn6 cable with the Xe6 I hear a brighter top end with more upper treble extension. The bass becomes tighter, gains speed but looses some...

    I'm also using Hiby R8ii with Xe6. What settings do you use on the player? Any plugin or MSEB or PEQ adjustments? Class A vs AB and gain setting?

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    If anyone has a chance to try the Z5 with the Hiby R8 II the combination is truly exceptional using balanced output. Really great synergy. Mids are brought forward and the bass pouches hard and sounds like a clean sub attached to each of your ears. Soundstage expands in every direction.
