Description
When you need Pro-level audio, look no further than the ultimate flagship - the HiBy R6 Pro II. Equipped with the AKM’s flagship DACs, this digital audio player is geared to deliver a spectacular performance. Add to that its seamless usability and gorgeous looks, and it’s a must-have in any audiophile’s collection.
The Ultimate Flagship
Experience your favourite audio tracks, now even better with the HiBy R6 Pro II. It is equipped with AKM’s new flagship DAC duo, AK4191EQ and dual AK4499EX. In the current output mode, it even offers separate digital conversion and analogue rendering.
Architecture That Builds Better Conversions
The All-In Audio Architecture of the AK4499EX DACs features 8 output rails, each with its own I/V conversion to fully release its potential. The dual DACs are each set to dual mono output, and all rails of both DACs contribute fully to both balanced and single-ended outputs. These enhancements, along with ultra-hard output stage circuit design, deliver sound quality that is worthy of a flagship.
Let Your Music Come Alive
Enjoy the exceptional audio performance with extremely low distortion and colouration, allowing for accurate note resolution and full dynamics. From resonating piano notes to crisp and clear violin tones, every detail of the music is captured with incredible clarity. The R6 Pro II's precise sound reproduction allows the listener to hear even the slightest nuances of the music. It's like experiencing the audio performance live in the very same space.
Every Femtosecond Counts
The HiBy R6 Pro II is equipped with NDK femtosecond precision crystal oscillators, featuring 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz frequencies. These oscillators provide ultra-low phase noise and jitter, ensuring that digital signals are converted into precise analogue details. Even in highly dynamic and busy musical passages, you can hear the clarity and three-dimensionality of every note.
Loud and Clear
The R6 Pro II has a dual-independent amplification circuit design with switchable Class A/AB amplification modes. Class A is driven by 2 OPA1652 and 8 NXP bipolar transistors for zero crossover distortion, fast transient response and more power to handle full-sized headphones. Class AB mode offers longer play time, emits lesser heat and is suitable for most IEMs.
Feel the Power
The HiBy R6 Pro II has a 4-section independent power supply design created by an experienced engineer with over 30 years of power supply circuit design experience. The power supplies for digital, decoding, preamp and output stages are made independently using high flux, fully shielded inductors with ultra-low internal resistance. This design ensures that the audio player receives pure, uninterrupted power without interference.
Power-up Your Performance
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC features a flagship-class 11nm lithography process that yields higher computational and graphics abilities. Combined with HiBy's extensive software and hardware integration experience, it delivers fluidity and responsiveness for music apps and beyond.
The Best Your Music Can Get
Experience the highest quality audio possible with DSD1024 - the format that encodes audio signals at a many-fold higher bitrate than CD quality. PCM1536kHz / 32bit formats offer industry-leading, high-resolution audio with faithful capture of sound in all dimensions, resulting in a more realistic and natural listening experience.
Enjoy MQA
The HiBy R6 Pro II supports 16x MQA file unfold, providing master-tape quality audio reconstitution for a richer, more realistic audio experience. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology captures and reproduces the original studio master sound in a small streamable and downloadable file.
Feels Like a Phone, Sounds Like a Player
The HiByOS enhances the audio experience with features such as fine volume control, removal of unwanted sound effects, and systemwide bit-perfect audio even for third-party apps. These features, along with other audio-related system optimisations, set it apart from regular Android 12 devices. Additionally, its user interface is comparable to mainstream smartphones for smooth multi-tasking due to kernel optimisations.
Control it Anytime, Anywhere
HiByCast is a revolutionary feature that allows users to remotely control their HiBy DAP from any smartphone or tablet. With systemwide support, it enables control of all device functionalities, including third-party app opening and browsing.
Connects Wired & Wirelessly
The HiBy R6 Pro II also functions as a USB DAC for use as a computer external sound card or digital amplifier for smartphones. With two-way Bluetooth capabilities, it can be used as a Bluetooth receiver for wired headphones. It is Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certified.
Looks as Good as it Sounds
The R6 Pro II features a visually stunning backplate design with bold asymmetrical lines resembling waves crashing against a golden shore under a starry carbon sky. The chassis features grip-friendly slanted surfaces defined by two split curves. The large 5.9" hi-res display boasts Corning Gorilla glass, 2160x1080 resolution and oleophobic coating.

HiBy Music, founded in 2011, is a leading company that specializes in developing and selling high-quality portable audio products. With a focus on digital audio players (DAP) and portable DAC & amplifiers, HiBy Music is dedicated to providing its customers with exceptional audio experiences. Whether you're an audiophile or a music enthusiast, HiBy Music has a range of products that cater to your specific needs. So why settle for anything less when you can enjoy music in its purest form with HiBy Music?
The HiBy R6 Pro II is an absolute triumph in terms of build and sound quality, but it wins at the cost of battery life (5.5-7.5 hours). If you're able to accommodate this design choice, I believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a better DAP for under $1000.
The R6 Pro II is built like a tank and looks stunning in purple. Album artwork pops on the crisp 2K display, and I've yet to encounter bugs with the rock-solid implementation of Android 12. Although it runs warm during operation (especially Class A mode), it's not been an issue thus far.
The AKM chipset offers musicality against a pitch-black background without compromising on neutrality. Its MSEB feature provides ample customization options and enables listeners to tweak the sound as per their preferences. The soundstage width is already excellent, and I hope the depth improves after burn-in to lend more of a holographic experience.
Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it!

OUR HONEST REVIEWS FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS & AUDIOPHILES
View allTRUSTED BY OVER 25K+ MUSIC ENTHUSIAST
Let customers speak for us
from 3758 reviewsI personally would recommend these for anyone who wants a balanced a sound with thumping base it’s simply awesome
These are the best ear tips that I've ever experienced! I've bought the ML size, and they fit perfectly in the conchas of my ears. The velvety smooth finish of the tips is sublime to the touch and feels super soft when put inside the ears.
The sound impression of these tips caught me unawares! They startled me! This is the first time I felt that a pair of excellent ear tips can make an IEM sound better. Much better, in fact. It makes the sound holographic and well-rounded; both the width and the height increase significantly; I had to turn the volume a couple of notches down in every music source I use: DAP, desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or tab with a DAC, etc. Most of the IEMs I used with these ear tips sounded superb in low volumes. They didn't distort sound on high volumes as well.
I used them with FiiO FD5, Final Audio A5000, Meze Alba, Dunu Titan S, Shure Aonic 215, and Pixel Buds. (In the case of the Pixel Buds, I could not close the case after putting these on; so I guess a smaller size is needed.) It's too bad I couldn't use them with Westone Audio Mach30 because of improper fit.
Versus the Dunu S&S: The Dunu S&S has similar characteristics. But the Velvet has a much more impactful sound. It has a thicker note weight that enhances the natural timbre of both male and female vocals and most instruments. The Velvet also has a much bigger soundstage than that created by the S&S. Contrarily, the S&S has more accurate imaging than the Velvet.
Versus the Symbio W (Silicone with foam inside): The Symbio W makes sound more intimate than the Velvet. It has a smaller soundstage than the Velvet and hence it is less holographic than Velvet. But it is more transparent than Velvet with light note weight; so I prefer to listen to singers like Tracy Chapman or P!nk with these ear tips on.
I must say that the shape of the Velvet ear tips is exquisite! Add to that the perfect choice of materials and finish and you have a winning combination. (Please see the pictures of the top and bottom of the three ear tips in the photo I've uploaded.) At almost INR500 a pair, these are the best ear tips among all the ear tips that I've ever tested! I'll surely get more of them in the future. I highly recommend them to everyone!
I carry the following items in my office bag.
1. Fiio BTR7
2. Fiio BTR7‘s type-C to type-C cable
3. Fiio BTR7‘s type-C to lightning cable
4. A 4.4mm (F) to 3.5mm (M) converter
5. Hifiman RE400
6. Type-C to 3.5mm dongle
7. Lightning to 3.5mm dongle
See the attached pictures. Earlier, I used to carry these 7 items in 2 separate cases. With this case coming in at just Rs. 250/-, I have now perfectly fit all these 7 items into one case. It’s made my life easier as i no longer have to carry and pack-unpack two separate cases each time.
I also love the fact that this case fits the Fiio BTR7 like a glove.
For me, this case has the perfect length, breadth, and more importantly width.
The case’s in-hand feel is also very good and it’s zip is super smooth.
200% recommended.
The earphones obviously are great and I just hoped to get original product as I’m ordering for first time in audio store. And the product quality is super and packaging also protects damage, I like it, I would shop at audio store to get any top branded quality product
Exactly what I was looking for my iPhone 13 Mini.
Official Apple dongle works but too thin cabled tangly one.
This one is far better form-factor & music quality wise!
About The Audio Store
==================
I made 2 purchases so far. Order to delivery experiences have been so smooth, fast and efficient.
Keep up the excellent performance guys!
I bought Audio Ehhiku before AP5 and my only question to Pritam/TAS was, is there another set that can match or beat Ehhiku's sonic brilliance. Pritam recommended AP5 as a worthy side grade to Ehhiku. And AP5's lush, relaxed and premium tonality totally justifies this set's claim as one of the best bargain from a price to performance ratio in the 20 k price point. After significant burn-in, AP5 shines like a Diamond in the sky. Thanks Pritam and TAS for recommending this set. Cheers!!
I loved this cable. This was the best one available in the least price. The cable quality is supreme and order arrived on time as well.
This is my first order from the audiostore and my trust went up.
I've always enjoyed the hallmark ESS sound - resolution and instrument separation - and own a number of portable as well as desktop DACs based on various ESS chips. The RAW MDA-1 maintains that tradition but has even better imaging and soundstage IMHO. True, the sound signature of a DAC does not depend on the chip alone; the output stage design also plays a big part - and SMSL's expertise is evident here, just like in their AKM-based offerings like the Sanskrit MKII or more recently - the SU-1. Of the many albums that I used for initial impressions - want to specifically mention one - Dave Brubeck Live With The LSO. I was able to make out even the more recessed instruments and the sound was distinctly holographic - I could pinpoint location of instruments and the soundstage depth was amazing! Extremely happy with the purchase and thanks to TAS for bringing this to India so soon!
I must recommend this DAC to any alternatives out there with 3.5mm Connector.
Reason: This is very underrated DAC , it has USB audio Class 2.0, who are using UAPP ( Usb audio player pro) they will benefit from this and knows how the sound quality differs from 1.0. And only the DAC with 70mW output power this is huge in this price range. What else need more than this ? Just go for it.
Well-made versatile (balanced, single ended termination) IEM cable. In picture it may look stiff due to nylon sheathing, but in reality it is very soft and flexible cable. DUNU craftmanship on this cable is commendable.
Great iems , recommended for gaming and heavy bass music ....
For the price at these iem are you in for a party in your head. Better to use them with a DAC as more power they get the better they sound. Sound quality is👌, better than normal earphones. Great for bass heads. Also thanks to the audio store for such quick order processing , got me iems in 1 day and gift wrap (which i did not ask for or expect) kudos to them 👏!
I've been using this eartips for quite sometime now and I've been using this with the OPPO Enco X2 and I really love the fit and comfort this offers.
Plz send update the software for earbuds & more EQ mode
I am using it to connect my 4.4 mm ended cable of my IEM to my Bluetooth dac. Sound is good.
