I have both AND THE R6iii has more driving power 363mw at 32 ohms vs the Rs2 320mw
Whole the RS2 is great it's way less versatile than the R6iii

Hi thanks for the reply. I was reading some comments from various people saying the RS2 sounded better with full size headphones because of the thicker sound, I guess bass might be better, also some reviews mention the R6 3 sounds brighter than most hiby daps or might lack some bass, slam with headphones

Also regarding the lower output. Does the R6 3 have much more power than my Walkman? I’m confused about the specs. My Walkman says 200+200mw @ 32ohms and the hiby specs just say 405mw @ 16ohms

I also have both, i use the R6 mostly with the Astell AP10 , so only the line-out of the dap. To my ears the R6 is cleaner, the RS2 r2r dac is really nice and sound great or even better but the tiny screen, playlist hell, no PEQ s the reason why i use the R6 more (i use PEQ alot nowadays) Ofcourse both have MSEB and this is great on both devices but i miss PEQ when i use the RS2.

So if i had to choose i would take the R6, even if the RS2 sound a little better/different.
Btw the amp section of the RS2 is not that good!, you can read about this here at Headfi, but when paired with something that has a great amp stage like the topping nx7 you will get great results! The RS2 with the Astell PA10 gets to warm/smooth sounding, i like the R6 better soundwise with the PA10.

Hmm, I own or have owned R6 III, R5 2, Fiio M17 and Astell & Kern Kann (the original). To my ears the R6 III is the warmest, punchiest of them all, and I even run my LCD-4's off of it with acceptable results. Currently the R6 III is on sale for $399 at Hiby Audio and MusicTeck. That'd be my choice for bang for the buck.

Has anyone used the R6 III with Sennheiser's 6XX or 8XX lines? How well can it amplify them?

 

[cthomas]

Has anyone tried driving the HD800S on this? How does it sound? Also how many eq settings can I save? ZX300 Walkman only allows 3 which is pretty limiting

I listen with Sennheiser HD800s. Excellent result. They are made for each other. I am very glad.

I’ve tried my ancient HD-580 with the R6 III, and it drives them well, especially with balanced cable.

Hello!
After updating the firmware to version 1.40, I cannot use the USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP).
I connect bluetooth headphones with the HiRes driver enabled and android disabled.
When playing a track in UAPP I see "Failed to find or setup HIRes DAC!"

Got this bug happened to me as well, I tried to downgrade the firmware to 1.20 and 1.31 (yes, I see the post said impossible but there is a way) but still got that bug.

The only way I can get it fixed is unfortunately to factory reset the device and reinstall UAPP.

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Thanks for the answer.
I want to use bluetooth headphones via a hi-res driver.

The other person's point was that the android driver should also *be* the hi-res driver after our hacks.

Specifically e.g. selecting LDAC 96kHz you should get audio to output at 96kHz even on the default driver.

Thanks for finding a solution! I reset it twice and it didn't work.
Wired headphones are connected in your screenshot. I'm trying to set up LDAC bluetooth headphones.

Thanks Joe! But I want to use bit perfect mode.

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Thanks Joe! But I want to use bit perfect mode.

Well, our Android is not 44.1kHz. It seems that between UAPP trying to hack regular Android as an app and us trying to modify Android itself, something was lost in translation. Have you tried the HiByMusic app?

 

[Sylveon]

Thanks Joe! But I want to use bit perfect mode.

Any particular reason that you can hear when comparing between bit perfect vs non bit perfect?

Also it's a bit odd in your UAPP settings since mine can reach the file's bitrate and not stuck at 44.1khz

Plus it's redundant to use UAPP hi-res since it's main feature is to overcome the SRC limitation, but Hiby's android already implement one itself?
(On a note, I'd like to see the data between UAPP in Android vs UAPP in other devices that need Hi-res mode)
