The Lirics should be easily drivenHi guys
My Hiby RS8 is on the way and I'm very excited.
I've decided to move on from the AK SP3000 as I missed the open Android OS.
I have a pair of Meze Lirics and am wondering if the Hiby RS8 has any issues powering them as the SP3000 does struggle.

I would be very much obliged if someone could help me please.I am having great difficulty in setting player up.There appears to be a paucity of full instructions available online.I have managed to access my Qobuz account successfully.As I have a full Apple system I have had to use Android File Transfer which I have used successfully before.I did a trial transfer of of one album to Music folder on RS8 where it appears.I registered for Hiby Music App did a scan but nothing appeared. I think this is where I went wrong.My understanding was that Hiby Music App was pre installed.Basically if this is the case I would appreciate if someone could give me chapter and verse on accessing Hiby Music App correctly.Thanks in advance.

I don’t have a player at hand right now and I can’t say exactly what needs to be donenothing appeared
but first, make sure that you have specified the correct path for scanning music, perhaps there is only one folder in which there is nothing
here is the manual

Thanks very much for your reply there appears to be more information than what’s available specifically for RS8.I’ll have a look thanks again.
No issues. The Liric together with the RS8 gives a seductive bass presentation.Hi guys

These may sound like stupid questions coming form a guy who's owned the RS8 for quite a while now. But I will admit I had not been playing around with any of the filters until the V2 came out, so now I have them and would like to, but I am confused about two things:
1) With NOS set to "On" on the main audio settings page, does that bypass the filters? Are they only active with main NOS switch off?
2) Which, if any, of the settings carry over when the RS8 is being used in USB DAC mode?
Thank you~

I recommend you to read the article about these settingsWith NOS set to "On" on the main audio settings page, does that bypass the filters? Are they only active with main NOS switch off?
in short, with NOS enabled, some features (Atmosphere Enhanced, Additional Harmonics) will work only with selected Darwin FIR from 9 to 11. In all other cases, when NOS is enabled, no filters are activated

This might sound like a silly question coming from the HiBy rep, but...
Can anyone tell me about the MasterMind or SimCodec system plugin?
This only seem to have appeared for people on the RS8, and I don't own it and headquarters is now again half a world away...
(if you were wondering how the Darwin v2 filters got tuned for the RS8, I made use of the time when I was at headquarters last month...)
Screenshots anyone? Brief function description (from anyone who still has it running somehow, I'm told it's very hard to find?)
I'm sure I'll probably even get the source code by this time next week but curiosity has got the better of me this weekend.

I have mastermind, it shown under plug ins in both system settings and Hiby App.
It has a couple options such as vinyl, tube, ak4499 etc..

First picture shows the first window you get - including the designer's name. Then there's a drop down menu with various 'flavors'. They do affect the sound and the ones coreesponding to differnet dac chips do sound more or less like those chips. Studio, Tube and Vinyl are also interesting and they do approximate their descriptors - although in a cliche sort of way. Overall I have opted to leave it off every time I have played around with it. First off, I prefer the NOS R2R sound - that's why I got the RS8 in the first place! And second of all, the Tube and Vinyl fatten up the mid-bass too much and attenuate the treble (which is not how I hear either tubes or vinyl but whatever...) The Studio one is decent but again I prefer the sound of the unit with it off. Hope that helps.This might sound like a silly question coming from the HiBy rep, but...

I dont use them though i did try them briefly, but found them way overcooked, especially the DS simulations. Agree with @fejnomit - prefer RS8 without these on.This might sound like a silly question coming from the HiBy rep, but...
