And another16x MQA at 768 kHz...

Did anybody try some sensitive iem's plugged into 4,4mm port, thoughts about hiss?

There is a very slight hiss with the balanced cable with A18t you can notice while the song is starting and nothing is being played yet, but later disappears behind the music. I have to say, everyone has their own level of sensitivity, so take it with a pinch of salt - though I don't see the reason to use the balanced output for a very sensitive IEM.

thanks,

yeah, you are right, sometimes balanced output on DAP's could be too much for sensitive iem's.

so the question is, how is going on with 3,5mm port, could you try it please?

how did it compare ? Is this only in tidal ? or will UAPP be able to do the same ?

SE is all good.

Only using the Tidal application. I don't have the UAPP on it so I cannot compare, but probably UAPP would not support R8 at the moment, or? I am not sure how the MQA stuff works. At least "looks like" MQA decoding via the Tidal application works.

but I think it has an internal battery like any dap, that is indisputably a disadvantage if you want to keep the QA390 for a long time, or is it powered from the source?

Yes, this player has batteries for about 10-11 hours of operation, but if the operation will be carried out at home, the power can be connected bypassing the batteries (direct that is).

Will these drive something like the hifiman arya ?

Apparently so. I’ve placed a pre-order with my dealer, hopefully it will arrive mid-September for me considering extra logistics needed to reach my country.

There’s a banner on top that says there’d Be a sale up to 25% from the 17th-25th. I’m hoping the R8 gets at least 10% off lol.

Anyone know what is difference between "Absolute Noise Floor" and "Noise" ?

I am a little bit confused, because Fiio indicates his "Noise Floor" in uV (uVrms) parameter, not V (or Vrms).

I am asking, because background hiss is dealbreaker for me.

 

[chickenmcnug]

So I just put in a pre-order with my local dealer, should arrive around early September.

 

[Doctortre2481]

No dealers in Australia =( And you can't pre order it from hiby. Zeppelin in Singapore has 200 sgd off preorder of the hiby r8.

Could someone share links to reviews anywhere for R8? Hard to find. Wondering what the general feedback from the early China buyers might have been.
