My coverall notion is that this is an superior Android DAP for the money. Personally, I aforementioned the resolution, detail, and tonality of the Astell&Kern DAPs better. However, the A&K DAPs do not stop Tidal offline mode. This is a regulating from Tidal and not A&K. The HiBy R6 allows admittance to the Google Play accumulation where you crapper download Tidal – thusly Tidal offline stop is available. The superior continuance for the money nonnegative Tidal offline stop is ground I definite on this DAP,

Pros:
Build calibre – Very good. I hit the unsullied poise version. Comfortable to stop and control with digit hand.
Performance – Very good. No delays or concealment lags. Smooth operation.
Battery chronicle – Very good.
Sound – Enjoyable. Detailed in every frequencies, full-bodied, impulsive and fairly punchy with a decorous soundstage.

Things to note:
– Still whatever code issues to be worked out. On a pair of occasions, digit songs started activity via Tidal at the aforementioned time. I’m not trusty if that was a fault with Tidal or the DAP. The beatific abstract is that the DAP code (and Tidal) obtain lawful updates.

– The production resistivity of this DAP is 10ohms, which is interestingly broad for a DAP. An resistivity that broad crapper modify the tonality of baritone resistivity IEMS/earphones/headphones. I purchased the iFi IEMatch dongle to decimate this supply (works aforementioned a charm). Without the IEMatch, the beatific reaching from the R6 finished my headphones measured likewise bright/punchy. Again, the IEMatch rectified this and every is good. I can’t feature this is rattling an supply with the DAP per se as much as it is an supply with IEM/earphone/headphone design. I asked HiBy ground they fashioned this figure with much a broad production resistivity and they replied ‘to protect against figure short-circuit’. At some rate, I intellection this was worth mentioning. Most DAPs hit a rattling baritone production resistivity so grouping don’t become crossways this issue.
