I assume emulation settings for the various famous audio circuits. Probably apply's a euphonic sound profile that emulate's the DAC chips, studio console, and Tube/Vinyl profiles. Effects to apply to your listening enjoyment.

Its a $3,299.00 music player whatever features it has it will still be a niche product. I would be very surprised if they sell too many more than 500 units worldwide.

Well I was interested when RS8 first came out, but once I had a chance to demo, the treble alone killed my interest fast.
If somehow I can get a more balanced sound profile I don't mind to pay for price for it.
At least I will have 2 or more sound sig for my choice, and probably justify the weight as well.
My RS8 has brightened up since brand new. It's been such a gradual change I did not notice until I got the Sony 1ZM2. The RS6 takes a more obvious performance metamorphosis.
The SP2000 and Hugo 2 / Mojo are rarely used these days. TT2/M-Scaler or RS8 is how I prefer my evenings.
I think the Sony is going to get mated to the gold GS-X mini for a while. I am at 70 on high gain and it just doesn't have the muscle. By chance they are the same color

If you want more sparkle in treble, RS8 is not it since this DAP was tuned to have a very natural organic tonality. But the latest fw update did introduce some tuning improvements in treble response, still keeping it natural and also adding a little more crunch to the top end.
Did it fail the first time you tried playing the VE Phonix on the RS8? (i.e. were you plugging in the Phonix to the unit and playing them for the first time on the RS8 when this happened?
Are these earphones functioning with other players at the moment?
Do you have a multimeter? Can you try measuring the DC resistance across the various pins on your earphones?

Except for the streaming services, have you noted any other problems with the latest firmware?
I can sit on 1.02 since it does everything I need it to do and going to 1.04, other than curiosity about the treble, would not benefit me.
I guess I just wait for 1.05?

Yes, I have been in contact with Hiby and asked them to send me 1.05 (or whatever the number is) before the official release so I can quickly test it with all streaming services. I have seen this with other DAP manufacturers as well, streaming app gets updated and no longer works with a DAP until new fw issued to fix the compatibility. That could be frustrating, with fw 1.04 Amazon Music HD doesn't work, but fix should be available soon, from what I have been told. I don't see any issues with Tidal or Qobuz. Another bug I found, after fresh reboot HibyMusic responds to hardware playback buttons without a problem.. But once you open other streaming apps and then close them, and go back to HibyMusic, it no longer responds to play/pause and skip until you reboot RS8. That should be an easy fix as well.
