Customer Reviews
item was good but some time hiby link didnt work... some hang also but musice was so good
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you find our product awesome. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with our Hiby Link feature. HiBy team is continuously working on improving it for a better user experience. If you encounter any further issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy the high-quality music from our product.
I am proud and happy to possess one of the best DAPs in its range. I thank The Audio Store to guide me to select the appropriate gadget to suit my preference and specifications of listening to music.
HiBy RS Gen2 has packed in it a host of adjustments to give you the near to perfect desired quality of sound of music.
It is a little bit heavy but it doesn't matter because it has got so many powerful components inside it like amplifier, twin DACs etc. The power consumption is also very less and at optimum performance adjustment, one can listen to music for long hours. It sounds so good that one can feel as present in the orchestra itself.
One of course needs a good audiophile standard earphones to give a match to it. There you get an opportunity to select from a wide range of music listening gadgets in TAS. I got the DAP delivered so fast that it didn't create desparation. They have excellent delivery arrangements.
To conclude, it is a fantastic music reproducer.
good product nice
Thanks for the review! We're glad you like it.
I'm very excited while writing review of Hiby RT gen ii DAP. This is my first DAP experience in my musical journey. I totally and always listening with Mobile + DACs. After listening with Hiby R5 genii DAP i was totally mesmerized. I can hear all instruments at lower volume also. This is totally out of the world. So I'm at dark till now inobile world experience. Pritamji helped me a lot to come out with this mobile experience. He guide me to try this Hiby R5 genii DAP experience. The rest is history. Amazing DAP. Thanks Pritamji for suggesting me this DAP. Battery is also good. After receiving since last 12 days I'm not removed my headphone from this. Balanced 4.4mm is too good rendering. That's why this Hiby R5 genii DAP is boss of DAP. The mids are so clear and totally experience is that we are sitting at live concerts. Really this is so good one. Thanks once again Pritamji for removing from out from the mobile world. Ofcourse the delivery is totally out of the world from TAS, after place the order I received within a 20 hours. Very speedy delivery by TAS.
I'm enjoying every bit of my Hiby R5 Gen 2.. the good and bad part about this DAP is once you turn on the class A mode you can't go back to non-class A mode especially for streaming Apps (Apple CD quality) cause the sound is so amazing especially the layering/separation of instruments and vocals with class A mode on but unfortunately Class A mode eats up quite a bit of battery, hopefully it will improve as it is the case with Android phones.. somehow I felt the music played thru Hiby music app (local/Tidal) had more dynamics than CD quality songs streamed on Apple music.. but the convenience of streaming app (finding songs at your finger tip) with high quality ESS DAC and Class A amp is a stellar combination to have and Hiby has sweetened it more with SRC bypass throughout and not just native music app... another beautiful part is all sorts of jacks are available... if only Hiby had given SD 600 series SOC and Android 10 this DAP would have been unbeatable but I understand they have to cut some costs in order provide this whole package at budgeted price point... still the processor and Android can be smoothly handled if you restrict your app installation to minimal, by doing this you should have good enough resources to stream and toggle between diff apps without hiccups..
I would highly recommend this DAP cause right now this is the only budgeted DAP which comes at lower price but has almost all bells and whistles of a flagship DAP..
Shoutout to Pritam, who has been a great help in order to get this shipped and delivered to me within timelines given to me by Pritam.. it is always a pleasure doing business with Pritam.. with this kind of help & support "theaudiostore" will always be my go-to place for all portable music devices, IEM, headphones & accessories..

Increased the volume as well as clarity of audio.
Thanks to the audio store for a quick delivery

Awesome work
Fantastic easy to use dongel dac by Shanling. Build quality is also 👌. For a budget music lover this is a value for money. TAS keep providing such affordable quality product to us always...👍
Sparkling music, enhance volume and gives extra wide sound instrument but some time later connection gone if audio is not play
The CD player works as advertised. The single ended headphone jack has decent output, able to drive IEMs at a loud volume level. The coaxial output also works with a 3.5mm male to coaxial cable hooked to a pre-amp. Sound signature is unolocured in the territory of neutral to slightly bright neutral and corresponds well with recording and mastering of records. Worth the money imo.
If my current HiBy R6 III (Gen 3, ESS) is compared to driving a BMW, the R6Pro MAX is a Rolls Royce.
It is easy, smooth, and suave. It doesn’t make a big deal of representing a soundstage that’s exactly studio-like. Natural, not heavy on any particular frequency (do not expect heart thumping bass) and extremely coherent. It’s like you’re sitting in front of the artists themselves, in a studio, with a performance made just for you alone. Each frequency - the lows, mids, highs and everything else in between - are effortlessly detailed and precise.
All IEMs I have tried with it, i.e. the 64 Audio Volür, Symphonium Meteor, Penon Quattro and Kiwi Ears Quintet are driven best at Low or Middle Gain, with me personally finding that High Gain makes it all muddy. I am yet to try it with my HiFiMan Ananda Planar headphones, and will update this review as the journey with this masterpiece of a device continues. Rarely do I find myself being fondly attached to any device so quickly. It may be safe to say the R6Pro MAX does have something special. Only time will tell.
Lastly, the design is phenomenal and classy. The weight of the unit is evenly balanced and not top-heavy, making it very easy to handle in spite of its 500 gramme weight.
My only gripe, because I just HAVE to find one is that the case provided is quite impractical as the device tends to slide out from the top opening, and it interferes with the UI gestures. On the flip side, the quality of the case is top-notch making the device feel extremely premium with its carbon fiber-like finish.
Kudos to HiBy. Clearly a lot of effort and thought has been put into introducing something like this. We may be looking at a potential market game-changer.
(All IEMs have been tested with the OE 2DualCPS Silver Upgrade Cable)
Superb Audio quality, Enhance the sound separation for my moondrop chu 2. i enjoyed a lot. Built quality also so good. Best Budget DAC recommended.
Bought the KZ Castor Pro from Audiostore, and I must say, I am extremely happy with my purchase. At first, I was a bit hesitant to order from them, but they completely surprised me with their service.
The delivery was super fast—much quicker than I expected! I couldn't believe how quickly the IEMs reached me, which made the entire shopping experience even more satisfying.
The product AUDIOCULAR D07 is a phenomenal DAC & Amp. It is suitable for all kinds of wired earphones. The output impedance of this DAC is sufficient for inexpensive as well as Expensive earphones. Overall I satisfied very much with this product. Thank you.
I really liked Moondrop Chu II DSP, which was my first IEM. I felt like I needed some more bass. This is perfect. Sounds exactly same as Chu II and with more bass. Shipping and delivery was also very fast. Got it delivered in 3 days. Good delivery and good product.
Sharp & Crystal clear audio🤩
For the price you can't get better value when comparing with TOTL iem's from other manufacturers, regardless of driver technology and implementation. The bone conduction driver works, which is always a plus.
