HiBy is set to launch the new RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP in the coming weeks, featuring all-new Class A amplification. Come back here for more news and impressions as they become available.
Features, pricing and more images will be available soon, so watch this space...
very much looking forward to CanJam impressions.
was about to sell RS6 for M9 but realized I like my favorite IEM VE EXT much more with RS6.
Hoping RS8 will push the specs like DNR further to some TOTL level like L&P implementation in DAP world or Holo Audio in desktop world so it will be a no-brainer to settle on but with streaming capabilities.
So for any of you being blessed to demo the RS8 pls consider also demoing VE EXT as this one seems to really makle a difference betwewn DAPs more so than other IEMs
I usually agree but I think it depends on amp IEM synergy, things like PO impedance vs IEM requirements etc.
My VE EXT sounds veiled and muddy out of my otherwise outstanding T&A HA200 but very good once directly fed out of RS6 balanced even though EXT is a very power hungry IEM.
For other pairings your statement can still be true though

Tried the hiby rs8 today at socal canjam at the musicteck booth, wow what an amazing jump over rs6, bass control was awesome. Really excited for this release.
Managed to try the rs8 at canjam, I was thoroughly impressed by it compared to the Cayin N8ii and Sp3000. The UI was nice and snappy, fit and finish felt premium and the sound was excellent. It’s probably wishful thinking but if this comes out around $2999 or low 3xxx they should have a real hit on their hands. I’ll be watching musictecks site in anticipation.

Finally, thx
What was the IEM you tried.
Anything stood out like more organic, etc?
Regarding price, you could just visit Andrew and ask?
But I guess pricing isn't officially reveiled
I mostly tried the Symphonium Helios and Elysian Annihilator out of it, the Helios absolutely rumbled while the Annihilator benefited from some low end to fill out the sound, really amazing synergy with these two IEMs.
