My guess is it'll be a higher end model. Probably somewhere between the dx220 and the m15

I'm thinking of ordering the R6 Pro. Any insight on the R8 would be appreciated before I order it.

Will the R8 be a higher end model like the FiiO M15? If so I'll order the R6 Pro.

If the R8 is an upgrade to the R6 Pro I may wait.

Thanks, I'll watch for it. I would expect it to announced sometime early this year so we'll see.

In the meantime I purchased the R6 Pro which is really nice.

Perhaps Qobuz and Amazon Music will work well on it?

Ha yeah I have to wait like 15 minutes for Qobuz to open on my R6 Pro every time I turn it on. Tidal is instant

Will this player be plagued by poor isolation? The r6pro was plagued with Rf noise... Don't see why they can't Isolate the components... It made the player poop ibasso has the same problems, it's common in Chinese daps

R6 and R6Pro both sounded mid fi.

And very noisy, cheap fi stuff for sure

How bad was the noise? Was it extra noisy when you connected to wifi? Or noisy in general?

I just keep my phone in a pocket on the opposite side of me and all is fine. If I put my iPhone in the same pocket or touch it with the headphone cable there is a slight buzzing but so what? I WiFi hot spot between the R6 Pro and my iPhone all the time. No problems, no irritating noises and no "plague". Don't let this put you off buying.

Exactly right. Seems that people who come into this thread to complain about noise after all this time either have an axe to grind, are simply looking for trouble or attention, or are just plain using the R6 Pro incorrectly. In any case, all this R6 talk should really be taking place in the R6 threads, rather than casting unfair aspersions on a dap that hasn't even been released yet.

Mmm that makes sense. Also if they're complaining about noise when the phone touches the cable that's not dap dependent. Any wire will pick up interference that's close enough. Unless you're using a shielded balanced cable, but even then it can pickup some.

I'm general, absolutely garbage when connected to wifi.

Wm1a, WM1Z, nz300, cowon pm2, p2 mk2 didn't... Have this even when wirewas touching

Its fair to bring up a problem other daps from a company suffered, it may also suffer in their new model. At a higher price point of course.

When you write it so bluntly you create readers to build a wall from you. Your intentions will not get through.

Chances are you had a faulty unit, or some component in your chain was amiss. Because I can tell you for certain this is not the case with any of the R6 Pros I've heard, my own included.

No, actually it's not. But I don't think anything I say will convince you otherwise.
