The HIBY R3 I- Removed info on Earlier R3 Versions - Added R3 II Specifications

Damn, still haven't tried the Saber but I have it sitting here. Might just return it and get the S.

sometimes upgrades end up being downgrades

True, but the trend with budget stuff seems geared toward actual upgrades these days. I would consider the R3 Pro a budget player even if it does have mid-fi sound quality.

Hi i tried the EQ setting for the first time and it didn’t work i first toggled the key then moved the dot around but no change at all !

It rather depends on whether you are playing a music format that can be EQed on the R3.

Sample rate > 96kHz -> no EQ
DSD -> no EQ (this is not unique to the R3)
MQA -> no EQ (this is not unique to the R3)

your saying high res music cant be eq'd ?

i never heard that before

if so then that would be a major drawback to high res music

i might be downscaling all my high res now to 16 44

eq on my pc with high res works fine

but on my ap80 with hiby os the eq does not work with high res, but the mseb works

AFAIK with DSD there's no way to EQ it natively, so any device/software that works is likely just converting it to oversampled PCM. Not sure about MQA-maybe there's some native EQ software or devices but with non-native software, if I understand correctly, would seem likely to prevent the "unfolding" of the hi-res content or whatever it's called.

Seems like more standard flac or straight PCM wav or whatever would be the most suitable to EQ'ing Hi-Res users in any case.

Not much different from R3Pro?

I would love a slightly higher screen resolution in a new R3 to have better album art view.

 

[Jmop]

I would only go for the red color, not really feelin that yellow print on the black/grey.

Have been listening to my Saber, this is so good for IEMs running balanced. It's a world of difference compared to single-ended and it really is fantastic in terms of power. Super low noise in balanced, I just love hearing the silence in songs that have start-stop style like glitch.

excuse me, is there any difference in sq between R3 and R3Pro if using them as a digital source?
I have a mojo2 paired with R3, but looking for some better small source.
thanks.

Looking at description of r3 pro 2022, it seems now you can “potentially” save music from qobuz/tidal for offline use?

Is this correct?

Why use it as a source? I imagine the Mojo 2 has a much better DAC.

I would say "potentially" means no but the actual meaning could have been lost in translation.

We will probably have to wait for users to test it for us but I wouldn't buy it if your main requirement is offline Tidal music playback.
