Wow. Hope you guys get some review samples out to people. I won't buy a DAP without at least reading some feedback from the community. Awesome specs though!

 

[corgifall]

I'm very excited to try this out and review it hopefully soon.

ES DAC, no thank you. I will circle back for RS6 II with R2R.

 

[RONJA MESCO]

yeeeeeesh...how many models Hiby got now??? It like they are not wasting time to be like AK and Fiio in filling every stocking.

 

[NickleCo]

Are their current offerings that bad that they need to refresh their line up?

 

[vcoheda]

the DAP companies are like cell phone companies. there are 2 new models every year and a new flagship every 2-3 years. i still buy DAPs, they are an active part of my listening, but you need to be aware that when you buy a model, especially lower or mid-tier, it is likely already outdated.

I notice that daps with android softwares tend to get refreshed so fast compared to non android ones.

Happens only with certain brands. Sony won't refresh the WM1A2 for the next 3/4 years at least. Same applies to Cayin with the N8ii.

Meanwhile successor to Hiby RS8 might arrive by the end of the year if not next year. Same goes for Fiio's M17.

All these brands do is deprecate products that the customers bought for high MSRP not too long ago.

Weakly. I was expecting a 6000mAh battery, FHD screen and 33W fast charging.

Yes!! This is the reason why i prefer sony and cayin compared to say ak and the others. But I'll stop here, I've already derailed the thread's main topic too much.

I was really underwhelmed by the build quality on my first gen R5. It felt like one of those budget Android phones you can get at Walgreens. I think they needed a refresh just to stay competitive.

Rather unfortunate

At least it has Android 12, that's better than most DAPs. Snapdragon 665 is quick too. There's a lot of really good specs on here.
