Hi there,

If it's fresh out of a factory reset and there's no sound, it should be a hardware problem. Please contact hello@hiby.com or your local dealer if you bought it locally regarding this. Sorry about that.

Best regards,
Joe

edit: although, there is a possibility that something is wrong in software, if one of the other ports (say 4.4 for audionewbi) still works, and it's possible that the OS / NOS toggle in audio settings might make a difference.

Thank you for answering. Can you please help me understand the last part? How donI toggle OS/NOS as that sounds likely because a few months ago I used this DAP and it was flawless as usual.

Ok I tried that and still nothing. I will contact HIBY. Thank you Joe. I appreciate your help.

Thinking of getting something with a PEQ (for extra flexibility with IEMs) to upgrade my R2R2000 (Red). Do you expect something like RS6 II/Pro coming out anytime soon?

I have a feeling RS6 II won't be coming soon. To make a good improvement in sound quality they'd have to upgrade the resistors (the key weakness of the RS6 imo) and then it will be too close their new Hiby RS8.

The RS6 with convolution essentially gives you the most flexible PEQ you could need. I will do an article on how to easily generate the files eventually from a given eq setting.

My RS6 champagne just arrived at Hiby HQ today for a swap with the RS6 grey version ... Looking forward to getting it back

Can't wait for mine to show up from musicteck.

And on its way back... Counting down

 

[WDitters]

The grey RS6 arrived... Looks very chique.. I love that gun metal grey color... Definitely beats the copper/champagne one any time...

Just got mine in and man it's a chonk compared to the OG R5.

So what's your favorite IEM pairing with the RS6? And full size?

So far I really like the U12T, nanna is close second and I haven't ran any full size cans on it since I've been to busy to really sit down and listen. Most of my cans are big planars and 300 ohm dynamics. Oh I should dig out my th900s and try them on it.
Side note this little DAC/amp might be treading really close to being as good as my gustard R26 and burson 3xp combo for sound quality.

Hi folks,

Will the RS6 play an Apple Music hi-res (24/192) file without paying the Android downsample tax? Or do higher-rez files only get played bitperfectly via the HiBy music player app?

Thanks,
H.

Hiby players do not resample, they all support DTA (Direct transport architecture) system wide bit perfect.

RS6 does play Apple hi-res files.

A public service announcement regarding TIDAL on our devices

Currently, TIDAL (builds starting from 2.87.1 that included Max level FLACs) does not seem to be working properly for devices of Android version 10 or below.
I included my investigation results (how I arrived at this conclusion) here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/tidal-lossless-streaming.733233/page-340#post-17695132

One solution is for us to upgrade all our DAPs to 11 and up, but as some of you know, our ability to do update the Android version is pretty much tied to the SoC used and the SDK provided.

Another solution, since the app does allow installation on all our DAPs ranging down to Android 6, is for TIDAL to make use of the info given above to debug the app for older versions of Android, so that they will actually run properly on devices they would install on.

As of this writing, the last TIDAL version I tested that functioned properly, was 2.86.0 . I include a link to its installer here
https://d.apkpure.com/b/APK/com.aspiro.tidal?versionCode=1121

I will try to update here when this issue has been resolved.

Best regards,
Joe

I wonder why a few Max titles will play on my RS6 with tidal 2.88.1?

this plays as Max, could be an MQA file? I am slightly colorblind, not sure about the light on the side. looks white and red to me.
