    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    If this turns out to be a successful product for them, do you think Hiby would release a version with a more powerful amplifier? In other words, it would be a tier higher than this one, obviously more expensive, and maybe with a bit larger screen and of course a more powerful amplifier? I...

    What are some good DAPS that are music players only (no Android, no wifi, etc) that are actually powerful enough to drive HD6xx, planets, etc?

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    What are the benefits/advantages of listening to a local file in the Sony Music app versus a downloaded file from Apple Music? Will the same song sound better in one versus the other? Are you able to utilize more DSP options in the Sony app?

    HiBy R5 Gen 2 - Class A headamp, Dual ES9219C, 35h playtime, MQA 16x, open Android

    Thanks for the info! Hey do you know if MSEB allows you to do a sub bass boost? Right now I’m using the iFi HipDac and I love their bass boost implementation (i’m just sick of stacking it with my phone, which is why I’m considering a standalone device like the R5).

    Question re: Apple Music Can you download lossless/high res for offline listening? If so: Is playback gapless? Can you apply EQ (hiby’s MSEB and/or hiby’s parametric)?

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Good to hear that. I’m hoping that the difference is noticeable as well with open back headphones. In other words, is the Mojo’s goodness really only appreciated with highly resolving IEM‘s?

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Yes, I will listen for a few weeks exclusively using the mojo2 and then I will go back to my other set ups to see if I hear a difference. I make consistent use of the Loki’s & Hip Dac’s ability to boost bass, so I’m looking forward to seeing what the mojo2 can offer in that regard.

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    My current set-ups: 👉 Desktop: Mac mini -> Schiit Stack (Modi 2 + Loki + Magni 3) -> HD6XX & HE4XX 👉 Portable (just for around the house; I don't listen outside of the house): iPhone -> iFi Hip Dac -> HD6XX & HE4XX I'm thinking about getting the Mojo2 to see if I can hear an improvement over...

    If/when Apple creates their own version of Bluetooth for Hi-Res streaming (some predict it's going to happen since their AirPods Max don't currently play Hi-Res Apple Music without being wired) will the Poly be able to do a firmware update to work with this new Codec?

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    How % of the WM1A experience will I get with with the A55? Never had a Sony player before and thinking that the A55 might give me a bit of a taste and then I can decide whether to go full on with the WM1A.

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Sony WM1A/Z I’m wondering how the DSP on the mojo 2 compares to what is possible with DSP on the Sony daps? I understand that it is done differently on the mojo, I guess I’m just wondering if you can do something similar on the Sony’s? Or are the Sony DSPs crappy like a lot of other players?

    Sony Walkman Thread: 2022 Successors to the WM1A & WM1Z

    I see many of you saying that the WM1A/Z aren't powerful enough to properly drive high impedance headphones (such as the HD6XX series). So... are there any full size headphones that can be properly driven by the WM1A/Z? For example, the Focal Clear seems to be relative efficient. I guess I'm...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    Re: the android concern… Let's say that I'm just going to be listening to my own music files via the Sony Walkman app. And let's say I'm doing so with the Wi-Fi and cellular turned off. In this case, is it really a negative that these new daps have android?

    SONY NW-ZX500

    And what about EQ/DSP? Is it universal (can you tweak the sound of files played through the Sony music app and files downloaded from streaming services)?
