I would buy it if It had balanced output 2.5. All my balanced cables have 2.5 jack

What's the output impedance?
Also difference between this and r6?
This looks like a freaking budget powerhouse.
I was praying for this!

Hiby can kill the market with a lineup like this no one has a "budget" android dta player.

Count me in, I'll most likely buy asap.

I hate adapters, they turn something portable into awkward. Sometimes I use an ibasso 2.5 to 3.5 adapter in my Shanling M0 and it's too awkward

There's a cabled one from FiiO and it's cheaper too:

I was thinking the same but I imagine you can get an adaptor easily enough.
