You want to compare a €700 DAP to a €2300 DAP ?

Dear owners of this wonderful device, after reading all sorts of topics about it, one point remains unclear to me - is the MSEB system wide? Will his work be extended to Apple Music?

Yep. I use QOBUZ on mine and MSEB does indeed work system wide.

The brand new R6PII will not turn on. It displays the Hiby logo for a few seconds and then powers off. What should I do?

Edit: Solved. My phone charger was too powerful for Hiby.


2nd question is: Balanced is not louder than 3.5mm. I need 100 volume through both of them with my IEMs. Why?

The gain switch in settings? But what's your IEMs?

FF Maestro SE. Yes, on high gain. I mean it's loud enough for me, but there's no difference in loudness between high gain unbalanced vs balanced.

Did you check that you're plugged into the headphones out or the line out?

This does not sound right. As @Joe Bloggs suggests, you may be plugged into the wrong jack…

New DAP today arrived, HIBY R6 Pro 2. What a solid DAP in both design and sound, going trough different IEMs.
Right now with Sound Rhyme DTE900 and Effect Audio Ares S 8W cable.

Wonderful! I look forward to your impressions. And comparisons with Cayin N7)

HIBY R6 Pro 2

Just some short impressions after my first week with R6P2.

Love the design and how slim it is, nice coming from the brick N7. I have had no problems at all with my R6P2, only been musical fun.
As for sound, N7 is slightly warmer in the bass and also has added treble brightness. R6P2 actually have fuller mids than N7, in general R6P2 is more neutral sounding with just hint of warmth.
The sound profile of R6P2 just make all my IEMs work, and it also drives all my earbuds to a decent level.

Positives:
Sound is really good, you wont miss anything when using IEMs or easy to drive headphones.
Soundstage is very good and almost at N7 level.
Construction and design
Stable software, I actually had more problems with N7. Weird since HIBY develop the software for Cayin also.
Very clean and silent outputs on both lineout and phone side.
Screen, its gorgeous and big. Puts N7 to shame...
Price is excellent , totally worth the cost.

Negatives:
Buttons are positioned bad, way to easy to skip a song when adjusting volume on right side as you then squeeze.
Case while nice looking don't help the button issue, and make it worse. I know I can mod it.
Battery is okay, but drain relatively fast even on low gain and AB.
Could have wished for more power, but this would have added on the price and bulk of the DAP.

Not saying its better than N7, but the positives with price make it better for my use case.
And with that my N7 is sold and I don't regret at all, or for now.

It sounds great but I'm of the opinion that sound differences between DAPs are negligible. I think most who claim noticeable audible differences would not fare well in a blind A/B test. For DAPs the bigger differences are in power, noise floor and user experience. I've detected zero hiss with any IEM on the R6 Pro II.

Personally I find more difference between DAPs from different brands, or with big internal structure change. Like AKM to ESS, R6 III is softer sounding than R6P2 as example.

Have blind tested cables and it's almost impossible to guess right, but changing amp has been noticable on blind test

Some thinks apple dongle sound same as Totl DAPs, each to their own I say. But thats okay, all can have their own opinions
