Of course, I'm too late with this review, as everyone already did their reviews. But nevertheless, I'm really excited about this DAP, so here is my video

This is a great review. Thanks!! I want one more then ever.

1. Is the bug you mention (the progress slider in each song doesn’t work) fixed? As I listen to large scale classical music, this is very important to me.Edit: saw in the first comment on YouTube that this is indeed fixed.

2. How much if a quality gain would this be over a Fiio Q3 in terms of SQ, and of output power? So understand it, in terms of power they seem to be in the same league? Wondering about SQ though.

3. How fast does it scan a music library compared to other players to know?

Mine should be in hand tomorrow, been having some minor issues with my ears and IEMs are tricky to use, i wonder what headphones it can drive, hopefully the 109 Pros will pair well…

Also got the Helas coming in and i got as red case, not realizing it comes with one.

109 Pro pair well. RS2 isn't really cut out for headphones, but these and 99 Classics do very well.

Good to hear, yeah, the 109 on the M17 is very very doable compared to others, which are doable so i was having high hopes, thanks…

good to know I won’t have to buy a 6 or 8!

Some DAPs and software players (Foobar) can play RAR and 7z and ZIP files directly. No need to un-compress them.
Any way HiBy can step up to this task--say, in a future firmware update?

Hello friends,

Does anyone knows when the RS2 will be available in stores across Europe? Cannot find it anywhere and I'm no willing to buy it from Aliexpress since Custom fees are always a gamble.

Cheers.

I asked Hiby UK on Amazon, they said that there are no plans for a release in the UK. Presumably that is the same in the EU, where I am residing. Hope to be corrected though, since I’m in the same position.

My RS2 -- only about 2 mos old -- has developed some sort screen defect. Like a dilute, dark ink stain ... seems to grow but may be fading a bit. Does not affect digitizer function (touch screen). I can still see thru it as stain is not that dark ... yet anyway.
Never abused, never taken anywhere near water (even a bathroom). The weather here in Southern Calif is dry. And when I travel with my DAPs, they are always in a waterproof fanny pack, zipped up.
Yikes! Not good, HiBy ... not good at all!

Nothing to do with this?

Lotta dirty ear wax on the JVCs.... my IE900 and FiiO FH7 ... and a half-a-dozen other IEMs are in my travellin 'bag so they can't be part of the family photo today.
About the TP ... do you have to ask? There is nothin' like listenin' to tunez on da throne. We all do it. Man ... it's like a drug.

That's odd given that ever other Hiby DAP is available in UK/EU. I would just order direct from Hiby and hope to dodge customs fee.

 

[DeTinux]

Yes, very weird. I attached their answer, but I guess it’s not open for interpretation. The last time I order from HiBy I had no custom problems btw

Odd. Maybe they think it's a niche product.

 

[DeTinux]

Still I wonder what the benefit might be from not selling it here. A few administrative actions should not outweigh the sale potential, even if only a few hundred units are sold (no clue how many units a typical DAP maker sells)

Anybody tried different MSEB setting? I copied one setting from this thread and be done with it. However, today I started to change the setting while listening to Z1R. I found out the impact is huge, and for certain bass boost setting, my Z1R actually sounded like XE6!

Its always nice to give the MSEB a good fiddle... It made me want an RS8. I cannot be bothered with frequencies and equalizers but MSEB makes it quite suckerproof to do a fiddle
