Should be starting to come in stock, audio essence have it in stock, hiby's own website does worldwide dispatch - but if you want to wait should start moving out into more stores in March.

Ordered one last day from Hiby official site, looking forward to getting a full size DAP. Got it just in time before the free leather case was removed.

Would this be an upgrade from the R6 Pro? I guess since mine is Android 8.1.0 with security updates that ended in 2017 this would be at least a crossgrade. I guess I can look up specs and compare.

There's a new R6 Pro on the way. Should be announced next month. Hold fire and decide then.

Anyone else having an issue using a hotspot to stream on this? iPhone 14pro. T-mobile is the carrier. Used to work up until latest iOS update. Now I can’t get the Hiby to connect to the hotspot. Anyone with any suggestions? Thanks.

No but you can expect it to be a decent upgrade for the extra cost.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum, as long as it can compete with "sub-flagships" like the Cayin N6ii, NW1AM2, maybe even the newly launched Cayin N7 it would be amazing! I'm hoping Hiby position this as at least the same level if not a step up from the RS6. From the link - the original R6 Pro went up to $799. The current R6 Gen 3 is an amazing bang per buck product at $499. But to put a bigger jump and keep a strong bang per buck impact I wouldn't mind a pricier R6 Pro. The R8 is now 2-3 years old, I would hope the R6 Pro brings better performance at a cheaper price - the new flagship RS8 is almost double the price of the R8 and there is a massive gap to fill. If a new R8 launches it would need to match the RS8 as a flagship and that brings in a void the new R6 Pro needs to fill in. I'd rather the R6 Pro be a step above the RS6 and compete with the likes of the N7 and older flagships like the SP2000. That makes way for a space for a new Hiby R5 Pro that can sit between the R6 Gen 3 and R6 Pro (2023)- I'd rather they change the name to RP6 (with the P for Pro coming before the number to seperate it as a new series) and RP5 - similar to how the RS series is seperate for R2R. In the meantime the RS6 will be rolling into the middle market (if the R6 Pro is geared above it - some may sell and move up, so that opens space in the 2nd hand market). Some may be upgrading across market to the N7 already. There may be a bit of bias on my end as I'm looking for a good mid-range (which now appears to mean anything from $700-$2K) DAP myself :sweat_smile:, as I'm looking for something solid that can last 4-5 years without looking back and boy is the market competitive and new launches coming left right and centre.
