Thanks for the review! We're glad you're enjoying the R6 Gen 3 DAP.
I had a few players in my shortlist, from M3U, R63, and even R6Pro2.
Hiby's OS & interface make them a preferred choice over Shanling. While I love the look of R6P2, the battery somewhere was a big concern. Lower battery life for a portable device worries me. Moreover, the battery will degrade over a period of a year and then it would make the device hardly transport worthy.
Coming now to Hiby R6 3, it is a well built, easy to control, and a device with good battery life. In my 2 weeks of usage I have heard most genres of music and it has never felt harsh. The internal MSEB settings can really turn device from warm to cool, aid in changing thickness, siblance, overtones, etc.
The device is thus very capable of playing the kind of tone that one prefers musically. I have only used IEMs and those were not tough to drive.
Lastly, I would say The Audio Store are a very refreshing, helpful and an approachable place for music. I had many requests for my order, from delivery to a remote location to payment options, and these guys always tried to find a solution. Thank you for making the experience musical.
Thanks for writing this review of the Hiby R6 III (Gen 3).
This is a dap which you can not deny. With proper settings it is an awesome sounding dap. You can get any kind of signature from it . If you can play with the settings, I am using u12t & one custom jr for this dap and getting wonderful detailed and a wide signature...100 % recommendation for this dap, I am kind of greatfull to Pritam for giving me such a value for money dap. You must warm it up...and if you are a casual listener then wait and use it for 7day and get familiar about all sound settings...best value for money dap
Thank you for the review! We are happy to know that you are enjoying your HiBy R6 III (Gen 3). We recommend that you warm it up before you use it for the first time. Good luck with your music!
The packaging was perfectly all right all the way inside but the device was switched on! It took only a light press of the power button to wake it from sleep. That was quite a shock but it turned out that the device is working perfectly fine and there are no issues with the battery either.
The sound is neutral, just as I had come to expect after reading quite a few online reviews and watching YouTube videos. There is no thumping bass but what we hear is tight without any distortion and that's what I had come to like as I grew older. The soundstage is pretty wide and it gets mightily enhanced when the Class A amp is turned on and Gain is put on High. This however, drains the battery fast and causes warming up of an otherwise cool device.
The streaming apps work well. I'm subscribed to both Spotify and Apple Music. However, there's no way that this device can reproduce the Spatial Audio from Apple Music. I wonder whether Hiby can fix it with a software update. The lossless files work just fine, both online and offline. Offline DSD or MQA files play well too.
The bundled case is pretty average.
Overall, I consider my money well spent.

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.
