Yea possibly the smallest from what's already out there in the market.

Better package then AP80 Pro? Probably yes..

This looks very nice all around, plenty of features, small size, Bluetooth 5 and affordable price.

If that tiny thing had a clip adapter it would make a great DAP for sports

Should be at least IP67 to be used outside for sports.

Some goes for Shanling M0 and FiO M5.

Forgot about that "little" detail. Thanks for the reminder

The clip case should be available as an aftermarket. I purchased 1 myself for my M0 @ usd.5...

This one is the same width as R3/R3pro, just a square profile. 1000 mah battery vs 1600 in R3. Single vs Dual dacs. Great little package for 99$.

Hi now that you mention that, I wonder if there exists an aftermarket clip for the Hiby R3
thanks, Jose

Hiby is pushing the FD1 as a stackable companion to the R2. It’s the same 6.1x6.1. Its package includes a “magic sticker” that I suppose works like Ikko’s ITM05 patch, a kind of double-face adhesive so you can stick the FD1 to another device. It’s a DAC/amp like the R2, but without a screen or streaming capability by itself, and a slight downgrade to the DAC chip (9118 vs 9218); however it should be a superior amp as Hiby label it as such, and it’s got a balanced out. But no figure for output power as of yet.

I’m really curious as the stack seems nifty; although I doubt it will sound better than the Qudelix 5K paired to my shiny new phone.

I seriously doubt a clip for a larger dap. The M0 & similarly sized daps have the perfect size for a clip case...

For stacking, without the use of rubber / silicon bands, i use this.
my htc1x+ stacked w/ the E12...
