It is called Hiby R3, not android-based. Claimed to be released at January 2018.

HIBY JR?

Oh ballz, that is a sweet looking little DAP. Is that a balanced output I see too or just a line out?

Damn, that actually looks like it could be a really sweet transport

It seems to have USB output. I wonder if it has TWO micro SD slots and decent battery life?

I find this new R3 quite attractive, as I always wanted a DAP that is compact, light and has good GUI. Now it looks like a strong contender the DP S1/ upcoming DP S1A category.

Really interested to see what that SD 425 SoC and 3 gigs of RAM are going to do to a DAP.

I think the only thing I can hope for at this point seeing how perfect it looks on paper is good reviews especially for sound that makes it comparable to the fiio x7ii and also the google play store. I find it weird that the dx200 is more than the x7ii yet has not really an edge in sound according to headphonics and doesn't have the play store, but x7ii does and has comparable sound quality for less money and very similar specs. This dap looks like it could be like an x7 but less buggy with the better soc. ☺

I have made it a point to check back every now and then and find out whats happening with the R6.

You did well! I'm actually kinda surprised about the lack of info/contributions provided by Hiby. Eagerly waiting for the first reviews

It may be awhile for reviews -

Hiby just now sending surveys with check boxes and a window for opinions what we'd like to see in the R6.
This threw me off a bit because I actually thought this project was much further along.

I find it confusing as well since they already mentioned all the specs and then ask us now what we want in it? Lol. But I appreciate that they care about what the customer wants and to make a great product, which they mention will also be a justifiable price for whatever it will have.

I'm not sure the survey is related to the R6. Still, it's a bit disappointing there is so little news about this promising player.
