Excellent condition R5. Looks like it’s fresh out of box. Only reason selling is because I upgraded. Comes with everything seen. I mean this is perfect condition!

@steelgtr I have an R5. It sounds great and can drive almost anything. The sound is big, warm, and detailed. Plus you can’t beat Hiby’s MSEB. It’s full Android with WiFi so it supports all streaming platforms including Tidal (with MQA). You really can’t go wrong for the money.

What is MSEB? Is this the Saber model?

Also allows you set settings such as temperature of sound ie cool/bright to warm to dark and bass settings, voice settings…basically allowing you to set specific tonality according to your liking

Yes, what @moorashj said. You can compare MSEB to an EQ, but you shape the overall sound to your liking as opposed to just manipulating individual frequencies. For example, if your IEMs are too bright, you can warm the signature up, or vice versa. You can make the treble region crisp or smooth, or bring vocals forward. You can increase bass extension or from deep to light, say, if you’re trying to tame a boomy low end. You can also change the texture from fast to thumpy. Anyway, you get the idea. MSEB is one of the cooler things about Hiby DAPs.

More like a parametric EQ? My pioneer has a very nice one.
