    HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread

    Just diagonally swap the rs8 screen and it will show installed apps or go to the settings and select Apps. The hibycast might already be installed in your units and just download and install the phone app at cast.hiby.com and it should be good to go.

    Got my RS8 on 30-Nov and the unit came with hibycast installed. For the mobile phone android hibycast app goto cast.hiby.com using your mobile and install from there. Its slightly laggy compared to controlling directly from rs8 but beats the convemience when on the go.

    I have been using hibycast during my travels outdoors and while my rs8 is kept safely in a bag I can control it thru my mobile phone. The rs8 is tethered to my wifi on my phones mobile data plan. There are 2 ways to connect to rs8 either via scanning the qr code on the rs8 or via entering the...

    Its the same also with me. I thought it might be a problem on my unit and I had the same issue on my dx320 and had to send it back for repair. If I recall I think I experience it on Tidal app also. Hopefully this is just an rs8 firmware issue. Nevertheless its very rare and minor and I just...

    My RS8 has just probably 40hours burn in but I could swear when listening to classical tracks to help fall asleep there was a time when I thought I was listening to my main stereo setup as if I was not wearing any IEMs. The staging of this dap is really great when your not conscious of your iems.

    Received my RS8 today. Got this from Zeppelin and Co here in Singapore and before committing to buy had a good 3 hour listen between an RS6, N8II and RS8 to make a decision comparing tracks side by side between the units. I already own an ibasso dx320. Long story short I decided on the RS8. The...

    Hoping hibycast will work if the rs8 is mobile tethered to a galaxy zflip 4 phone. Planning to bring the rs8 on the go and would prefer to control thru the phone while the rs8 is in a carrying case. That would be sweet. Heard that it works only if both are on the same wifi network which for this...

    Also you should tick CUDA offloading if you have a good graphics card. It helps the CPU to off load the filters to the graphics card CPU to process and then the main CPU can take up a higher upsampling rate or a better sounding modulator.

    I noticed your output format in hqplayer here shows 22.5792M which is for DSDx512. This is likely why the RS8 is receiving a 512 signal. For DSDx1024 you should see twice this number as 45.1584M and DSDx2048 at 90.3168M. Below are the values you should see in the Format section of HQplayer...

    HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread

    Thats great though not really familiar with that pc build seems very powerful. Modulators take up CPU power and the oversampling filters are off loaded to the graphics processing to help with the upsampling. If its a powerful cpu it should be able to handle higher upsampling rates and if its a...

    These are my oversampling filters and modulators right now at 48k x dsd 512 and they sound best on my setup but very demanding on cpu. Less powerful cpus will cause the music to stutter on these settings.

    Its actually great RS8 can take in up to dsd 1024 which makes it somehow future proof. But the best sounding hqplayer filters and modulators can only handle upsampling up to dsd 512 with the current cpu hardware. Probably a couple more years of cpu innovation to be able to upsample up to dsd...

    If only RS8 can be configured as a DAC NAA it would be sweet. Hqplayer can then see RS8 in the network chain regardless of where it is located as long as it is in the same LAN network

    HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread

    I have been using hqplayer for a year or so now and upsample my burned cds to dsd 512. I also upsample all tracks from tidal thru roon. Only an i9 12th gen intel pc or amd equivalent with 3080 graphics card can do this today. DSD upsampling needs a powerful cpu. PCM upsampling not so much. The...

    Am fortunate enough to have a shop that can demo the n8ii rs8 and dx320. I already own the dx320 and use it on an Empire Evo and at first the rs8 sounded a bit flat compared to the dx320. This is because the treble on the rs8 are not "piercing" as compared to the dx320. However extended...
