HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions
Dec 7, 2020 at 4:55 PM Post #211 of 1,971
I have switched from Fiio M15 to new R6 and as I mentioned, I am looking for a device for streaming online and from my server. Compared to M15 which I described it as neutral but boring or not engaging, R6 is more musical with foot tapping characteristic. Overall sound signature is very balanced with good extension in both low and high, with a slight v-shaped sound pattern. The OS is very smooth and responsive, and rather stable as I have just encountered a system crash once. Perfect form factor and operating temperature is on low side even decoding DSD, and working seamlessly with all installed apps including UAPP. One weakness is that the background is not as dark as other TOTL DAPs but no hiss for all my IEMs (please see my signature), despite an occasional noise when working on mobile hotspot of my mobile phone for online streaming, of which I think it is caused by wifi interference.

I am also having Luxury & Precision P6 of which I think it is best in class in sound performance due to its discrete R2R implemenation. I am also having Sony 1Z and a Romi Blackgate modded Sony 1A and the new R6 is complementary to my other DAPs and I enjoy it as much as other players.
If you have all these daps and like the 6 i haven't made a mistake😉👍🍻

maybe R6 will be a side grade...

This looks like it could be a great player... But get the feeling someone will get a "new" (in box Original) R6 when they actually wanted this "2020" New R6.
- Confusing product naming.

I ordered a new 2020 R6 and they are sending me a new Chinese non-Google Play R6.

It would be interesting a comparison with shanling M6 pro that I Love ❤

Yes, really interesting, I'm in doubt between them. I'm waiting some comparison to decide.

Just got the original leather case from my dealer and the quality is top class. A must have item in my opinion.

It comes as free gift in Hong Kong for early bird buyers. There is also a storage box for the player and accessories.

Just receive it today.

Sound is great and very balance, it seems friendly with IEMs more than R8. Nicely done again Hiby team!
