How powerful is the amplifier in Class A mode?

3.9Vrms, 475mW vs 32Ohm.
The spec sheet is here, but lacks SE details.

Wait. So was that HiBy R5 at Can Jam NYC the same one? Or did I predict the newest R5 Player?

The ES9219C has an onboard headphone amplifier. I wonder if the Hiby R5II uses the onboard Sabre headphone amp when in "economy mode"?

Looking forward to this! My first DAP after owning the LGV30 a few years back...I broke my discipline to buy only American made products.

Is it just me or does this DAP look KILLER... I've been out of the DAP game for some time so not sure if other manuf have similar offerings.

Any idea how long the pre-order period lasts?

I believe it's through the 24th of April...

I believe it's through the 24th of April...

I stand corrected: it's the 25th see screenshot of HIBY Website...

Just ordered one. That means I'll be selling a Hiby R3, a Cayin N3Pro and a Xduoo XD05 Plus. Keep your eyes on the classifieds!

Anyone know how this company handles import duties and tax for the U.K.? At todays rate this thing is a steal and I’m quite tempted as an upgrade to my Sony A105.

Also, does hiby OS / Android support the likes of play store or is it specific apps only? I use Apple Music, Tidal and Poweramp EQ apps regularly so these would need to be fully supported.
