From a reply by Hiby in a video posted also by Hiby in Youtube, they said that it's going to be under $250.

Hopefully a discount applies for first orders. I will probably snatch one early. Looks nice and UI is attractive. Has output power been mentioned?

Have not seen anything about power output yet.
- Impedance is supposed to be "under 1 ohm".
- It's Single DAC, while the R6 is Dual and exactly the same kind.
- The R3 may be Linux Based instead of Android, based on one website...

Why does Hiby keep using the inferior and non standard 2.5mm plug for balanced output on its DAP products when everyone is now moving to the supperior and defacto standard 4.4mm plug instead? I am not buying a DAP that's not using 4.4mm for balanced, period.

Does anybody knows if R3 will support line out operation (for amp pairing) and will this release be supported from Kickstarter on Indiegogo sites??

I had reached out to Hiby via email to ask them a few questions and received this answer... “Thanks for reaching out to us. We plan to launch R3 in March on Kickstarter, and the shipping should be after the campaign ends.”

A couple of us asked the same question on previous page but still no answer.

Hiby Trivia for the day, I looked up the name of this company in Chinese. It is "海贝". It sounds like these English Words "High-Bay". And means "Sea-Shell" in English!

In case someone is interested about when these will launch, I was provided w/ this sign-up link: https://www.hibymusic.net/r3

Must resist. Must resist.

I know resistance is futile; this product looks like a borg.

I'm waiting it out for the R9....

Official announcement or wishful thinking?

 

[originalsnuffy]

OK R12. I will see your R9 and raise you one R3.

Official announcement or wishful thinking?

Mathematical conjecture.

 

[chungoooo]

I like the R3
I want the R3
I need the R3

Balanced Output AND Coax Out?

Awww dayum! Now I gotta sell the M2s I recently bought.

I'm sure they are feeling the need to up their game if the r3 is received like the r6 has been so far. I just want to know how much it is and when we can buy it. Is it supposed to be ready for sale soon or is it going to be an Indiegogo campaign like the r6?

It is going to launched at kickstarter first and then at indiegogo
