Amazing R2R DAP, Hiby RS6 Full Review!

[@SuperChonk]

Hi Guys, Thanks for stopping by! This week is a good week as I talk about a DAP that I absolutely enjoy! It is great to see everyone again! Do let me know what's your favourite DAP at the moment!

[@SuperChonk]

@@humm6155 I will try it haha. I personally like the solid state section of the N8. I just found it a little more dynamic

[@uctenka]

What?! No rum review? I am outraged! In all seriousness, thank you very much for your review, this one looks very promising. For me, it was between Shangling M8 and this but in the end, I just could not stomach Android 7, plus to me, the RS6 looks much better. Hopefully I wont regret the decision.

[@SuperChonk]

I think you will be very pleased with the RS6 do let me know once you received it :)

[@illegaltender]

I have been eyeing this for quite a while now! Thanks for the review! I hope streaming works great on this!

[@SuperChonk]

It does! It works pretty seamlessly for me :)

[@markhogquist2000]

Really good review bud, thank you. I think I'm going to upgrade from my Shanling M6 Pro with this RS6.

[@SuperChonk]

Good choice!

[@matusjurcik6974]

Hi SuperChonk :), did you try also something else in the 1400 usd price range? (DAPS). Should i consider this over lets say the Shanling m8? And what about the battery life on balanced max gain?

[@karolkedzierski5824]

Hi, great review! Could you maybe compare it to the iBasso dx300?

[@SuperChonk]

Let me listen to it and get back to you :)

[@dofreality]

@@SuperChonk did you check it against iBasso dx300? Flack Friday is coming, we need new toys

[@pappusmailbox]

I read in multiple threads that the rs6 + mest mk2 is a great pairing. Would you recommend this pair-up? Also I read that there are presets for VE IEMs on the rs6. Any similar preset for the mest mk2 on it?

[@pappusmailbox]

I got my unit few days back. Glad to see there IS a preset for the mest mk2 :)

[@nibongese]

How is the sound quality compared to A&K SE180?

[@patrykk.2084]

How about hissing with sensitive iems like Andromeda or Mest MK2?

[@SuperChonk]

I am running the Holocene with is also pretty sensitive and no hiss :)

[@sythkhaos]

R2r dac sound oh so organic

[@markallen6317]

My understanding that burn-in and headphone cables adding finesse to the sound aesthetic is pure mythology. Never the less, I've read dozens of reviews that claim the RS6 approaches its peak after 2 or 3 days of burning in. Still an urban legend or is this a different animal?

[@SuperChonk]

With regards to cables, to each his own but do give it a shot before completely dismissing them :) The RS6 does sound a little better with burnin :)

[@calico88]

How about the sound detail ? Do you think it’s comparable to higher level DAP ?

[@SuperChonk]

Well in terms of detail, it is better than others in its price range but against flagships like the AK2000T or the PAW Gold Touch, it lags behind a little. But that said it is already very good value.

[@calico88]

@@SuperChonk what about Hiby R8 in term of sound detail and quality ?

[@ЮрийПоляков-и1р]

Thanks for the video !

[@BennyChristian]

Between this or R8 which is more amazing I have R6 pro already too

[@Mr76Gus]

Really good. Now wait comparisons with AK Kann alpha:)

[@SuperChonk]

It runs circles around the Kann Alpha. The Kann Alpha has lots of power but is rather noisy. Also it sounds quite a bit more digital as well. Interms of drive, I think the Kann Alpha has the edge but sonically isn't as strong. Resolution wise, I feel that the Hiby R8 has an edge over the Kann Alpha as well.

[@Mr76Gus]

@@SuperChonk thanks. On sound quality at the same level ( unbalance 3.5 for example ) you prefer RS6?

[@SuperChonk]

@@Mr76Gus I prefer using the 4.4mm output. It sounds a little more dynamic to me.

[@Mr76Gus]

@@SuperChonk I use usually 2.5 on iems but simply I Was thinking buy Kann alpha and suddenly RS6 is announced:$

[@SuperChonk]

@@Mr76Gus Haha. You have waited just in time for something great to appear :)

[@ryanc3368]

Can this be used as a Bluetooth DAC amp fed to a computer?

[@piyusho1]

How is it against n6ii+R01 ?

[@rocketman093]

good stuff!

[@Jaikool001]

Can this run Google Play Store? Can I Install any app from the store? Thanks!

[@SuperChonk]

Yup! It's on the international version

[@markallen6317]

Why did they skip the balanced 2.5 headphone port?

[@SuperChonk]

Well because the 2.5mm port at this day and age is quite obsolete. It is physically the weakest connector especially when you want to use larger gauge cables on them. The contact points for the 2.5mm is so ridiculously small that makes it really fragile.

[@HWong-hp4pg]

So sweet, like ur mom 😂 that made me chuckle

[@SuperChonk]

Hahaha, I'm glad you get my humor.

[@louisgeri]

It's high buy, not high bee

[@Puroplatino]

Like your mom. You got a sub from me for they one lol

[@SuperChonk]

Thanks hahahaah!

[@sanchezsalvador7232]

tienes buenos graves

[@MaverickIQ]

NOS or OS? What sounds better?

[@SuperChonk]

Personally I prefer OS :)

[@MaverickIQ]

@@SuperChonk okay How about cans, can it drive cans in loud enough volume? Is there any hiss on very sensitive IEMs, like Andromeda’s?

[@SuperChonk]

@@MaverickIQ ok I recently drove the final d8000 pro with theses on the 4.4mm output. It is decent. Those headphones only truely shine if you have a decent headphone amp for them :). No hiss on my Holocene which are quite sensitive too

[@MaverickIQ]

@@SuperChonk I’m a bit on the fence of getting one but still can’t decide due to not many reviews on the RS6. Can you tell me what music genres you listening to with the RS6? Or even better tell me what music genre is best suited for RS6. Music that emphasizes the quality of the R2R.

[@SuperChonk]

@@MaverickIQ I listen to a wide range, from early 2000s emo rock, to recent Jpop, Kpop. Occasionally classical too :)

[@phanindramvr2215]

Any comparison with N6ii R01 module?
