Do you work for Hiby?

No, i am a structural engineer ! Bought the R3ProS on day 1.

Best of all, I only paid the 20 CAD$ of duty. DHL forgot to charge me taxes !

Still waiting for the SDCard to show up today.

I only tested the R3ProS in DAC mode from USB connection to computer so far.

The source were 24 bit Flacs of
- Low Roar - Ross (2019) and
- Ben Frost - Dark - Cycle 1
- Max Richter - The Leftover

I am not an audiophile in a sense i discovered this world only 1 week ago when my ipod died so it is difficult to describe it with all the signature wording, warm, analytical, etc... but if i had to describe my first reaction is : Sound good but it misses bass in my taste. Some Reviews seem to indicate that DAC mode sound different from source from SD Card.

Will update when SDCard arrive !

Having read so many user feedback about customs problems/surcharges in Canada, you are indeed a rare case. Congratulations!

I know right !

I once paid 40% of Duty/Taxes on a 300$ purchase. Was so mad. You know how it is... The guy is there at your door with the package and ask you for money !

I'm no audiophile, either (my ears are too old). I purchased the R3 Pro to replace my 7th gen iPod Classic because I got tired of fooling with it, updating it, etc. With the array of headphones I have (Koss Porta Pros <---> Meze 99 Noir), I'd say the bass is better when listening to my own music collection on the R3 Pro than it was on the Classic.

You have the saber version? Because the sabre-saber version still shows pre- order here in the states. And you can fix that bass up easily with the mseb. Move the sliders of bass- deep and bass thumpy to the right, try like a value of +10 first.

Oh no it isn't, sorry you're getting straight digital out of the USB. Wasn't thinking DAC mode is probably going to be more neutral than your ipod was. It should sound different straight through the player headphone outs.

Bla bla bla

Is there still no way to delete a post?

Does Hiby only sell through Amazon in the US?

 

[picollus]

Yep. don't know if it is placebo effect. But yes Sound from sdCard is way better than thrugh USB in DAC Mode. With low/high gain setting.
