I liked the features of the R6. Great screen, spotify and google play store support. Bypasses android sampling rate limitation for streaming apps. Best SQ for the first price quite possibly.
Reviews were comparing it to DX200 and X7ii which are both $200+ more expensive
I may have to settle for the Hiby R3 and use that for my earbuds, and get an amp if I ever want to power full size cans.
I have not heard the R6 yet but own a DX200 with Amp 5. Compared it to a AK380 in a store and found out both are comparable and one is not better than the other IMHO. AK380 has more warmth and organic on midrange and bass is more prominent ( tube-ish like ) while DX200 more strive on neutrality with wider soundstage and more resolution. There you go my recommendation for either DX200 or more lower priced and newly released DX150. Have read the raving reviews on the R6 and I believe it is pretty great dap for the price too. I hope you wont have any issue with it being 10 ohm output impedance be it with your low impedance earbuds and sensitive IEMs. Other than that, they are all great players to choose nowadays for a small chunk.
