I agree the form factor in the hand is perfect.
R6 Pro is way more powerful, a bit brighter (going off memory), more energetic if that makes sense, my device had noise (emi and background hiss), the R6 OS software is little more refined and it is 64-bit, mainly due to the Android OS version.
The M6 has better midrange, bass is quicker, better battery life, better form factor, better bluetooth and wireless strength, no noise, still needs some software updates imo.
The AK chips do have a different feel and sound to them, they can sound smooth, so take that into account if you loved the X7 (which is an older ess chip). So you may want to stick with the ess analytical sound.
Both are snappy in the UI, so that is a draw. Good luck.
I am stuck between the Shaning M6 and the Hiby Pro 6.
Has anyone listened to both ?
I see above the Shaning M6 is similar to the older Hiby 6 so i am guessing the new Hiby Pro 6 is better than the Shaning M6.
Thoughts anyone ?
Looking to buy in the next 2 weeks.
My old dap that i have sold was the Fiio X7 and i loved that but wanted something new.
