is this player warm? neutral? bright? and how is compared to the original r6 first version i had one of those..color me not impressed

No idea what you mean?, describing a dap/electronics in such a way is a tired meme and a hangover from old analogue/tube hifi days of old, if you apply eq you can tailor the sound however you like.

Sounds perfectly normal/good to my ears

Depends on how the music you are listening to has been produced and mastered, and your choice of headphone/iem, and your personal hrtf, and your personal ear canal length/volume, and the volume you listen at- all of that will have an effect on what you perceive, the player has a flat response, otherwise it would be considered a failure in design and wouldn’t get through to production/manufacture

I don't have this version but it seems that its a little more warm than the no 2025 one, and the background is more darker than before (less noise, which is a nice add).
So, it may be a neutral warm dap. Of course, it will be better to have a real comparison than my response

I would describe it as warm sounding too. Of course the Hiby R daps have various sound tuning options available including MSEB and the newer DRX10K dynamics EQ.
