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.

Quality
The amount you pay for this DAC is absolutely worth it. I'm using it with my PC, and I also have a Fiio KA13. It provides 32-bit 48000Hz audio output, and it's really good. I'm connecting it via a USB-C port and one extension cable (AGARO 3.5mm Aux Male to Female Extension Cable, Gold Plated). There’s no audio loss whatsoever.
The only minor issue is when you use it with a mobile device — the blue light can be a bit annoying. However, that's more of a personal preference. It also makes some noise with certain songs, but that's actually a known issue with the CS46L41 chip. There's no need to worry though; unless you've used a high-end DAC before, this will be more than enough for you.
Bass and clear vocals

Excellent sound quality
After searching internet found this dac which has multiple input options and support 165*2 watts passive speakers and 350 watt passive subwoofer for future extension, tested with all input modes, bluetooth input feels a bit of low quality as it only supports sbc and aac codecs only, however if you want to use mobile via wired, alternative options 1. connect using Portronics Bridge Y USB 3.0 to Type C OTG Adaptor via USB A. 2. Use audiocular d08 cs-pro usb-c to 3.5 mm and 3.5 mm to rca input (cable creation brand). Optical input mode supports PCM (loss less stereo output) and Digital compress audio multichannel only) these are specific to Sony X-80J 65 inch
Thanks a lot Pritam Ji for suggesting me to use a balanced cable with my Moondrop Aria IEMs and thanks a lot for ordering Moondrop Aria filters for me. The Audio Store goes out of the way to serve Indian audiophile community.
The way my IEMs sound with a balanced cable and Shanling UA2 Plus DAC & Amp are unprecedented!
I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻
The empathetic support that I got (as a budding audiophile) from Pritam Ji at The Audio Store is unparalleled. I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻
Just bought it and started using it with my IFI Zen Stack - feels awesome.
This was a natural pick for me, since I wanted to have a completely balanced setup for my HiFiMan Sundara.
Nothing much to add, if you want an optimal balanced setup without spending too much, then look no further.
Thanks AudioStore for being blazing fast with your delivery. I got it withing 48 hours of placing my order! Kudos.
