Hi guys,
As the proud owner of one of the HiBy R3 Pro (not Sabre) that I bought and received a few days ago, I must say that I am quite happy with the deivce.
The display is large enough for my big paws... sorry hands.
Features are nice : ability to be use as autonomous player, as a USB DAC, as a Bluetooth emitter and maybe as a bluetooth receiver, but have not tested that last feature so far.
Also outpower of the amp is enough for my headphones (HifiMan DEVA and Oppo PM-1).
The only concern is sound quality, as I think it's not that good, but of course, I usually listen to music with an AUNE stack with dedicated player, dedicated DAC and dedicated Class A Amplifier, so comparison is not really fair
What I would like to ask here is following. When used as a USB DAC, should it display the bitrate and sample rate accurately ? Because even if I feed it with 16/44, it display 24/44. If I feed it with 24/96, it displays 24/48.
Is that a wrong report of the player ? Is there a limitation in the sample rate that can be used as USB DAC or is it my source (Linux computer with stupid PulseAudio) that is given numbers ?
Thanks a lot for your answers. Maybe there's an answer already, but honestly... did not want to read 426 pages to find out
Regards.
