ES9038Q2M DAC High performance dual ES9038Q2M DAC

Dual ES9038Q2M DACs work in tandem whether in SE or balanced mode for full-time maximum fidelity; voltage mode amplification in tandem with class A amplification for the optimal balance between fidelity, power and stamina.

Native DSD512 and PCM 32bit / 768kHz

Plentiful Class A amplification power

Class A amplification constructed from 2 OPA1652 opamps and 16 extra hand-matched transistors for zero zero-crossover distortion and fast transient response; 4 Elna audio capacitors further improve musical texture;

Class A amplification’s full-time peak power output ensures that it drives large over ear headphones and high-Z earphones with better effect, complex loads as though they were simple, and with excellent control, keeping its composure driving any headphones through any musical passage. (*heat dissipation and power consumption increase significantly in Class A mode)

Class A: constant peak output power, high drive ability, fast response, awesome sound for high power consumption and heat dissipation;

Class AB: high efficiency amplification mode for balanced battery stamina and sound quality

Full blast

Benefit from all modes

With class A and AB amplification both available at the touch of a button, you decide on the optimal power consumption / sound quality tradeoff for the given portable / stationary use, and the player takes on IEMs up to full size headphones with equal aplomb

4500mAh large battery

Plentiful battery capacity gives room for more use of class A amplification.

Up to 15 hour battery capacity single-ended, up to 12 hour balanced (class AB) for musical bliss day in, day out wherever you go!

Pro audio crystal oscillators

Two dedicated crystal oscillators at 45.158MHz and 49.152MHz for 1024x oversampling of 44.1kHz and 48kHz audio alike at femtosecond accuracy with phase noise down to -159dBc/Hz @ 1kHz (0.000001%).

Qualcomm Snapdragon 665

Utilizing an advanced 11nm silicon process, this chip represents a jump in the performance in the R series, for effortless multitasking and heavyweight audio processing.

4+64GB storage

Large 4GB RAM for effortless multitasking of multiple demanding streaming music apps;

64GB permanent storage for large offline music libraries from said streaming music apps; removable micro SD card capacity up to 2TB for storing all your own music collections. There’s no stopping the music anywhere!

SRC Systemwide bitperfect audio in Android 12

All-new upgraded Android 12 system, re-coded from the ground up for faster operation from the same hardware.

Direct Transport Architecture

The Direct Transport Architecture (DTA), unique to HiByOS, bypasses sample rate conversion from deep within the system kernel, allowing even 3rd party apps to enjoy bitperfect output at the original sample rate whether from the headphone outs, line outs or the USB Audio digital output.

HiByCast

Breaking all barriers, supporting systemwide operation of all device functionalities from a remote smartphone / tablet, including operation of third party apps!

*HiByCast app required on controlling device. Available on Google Play etc.

MQA 16X

16x unfold of MQA files, giving master-tape quality audio re-constitution, richer replay of the sound as intended—it’s a take-you-to-the-concert / studio experience!

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning technology that captures and reproduces the sound of the original studio master in a file that’s small enough to stream and download. HiBy is collaborating with MQA to deliver truely original sound quality to listeners.

3.5mm & 4.4mm headphone outs and line outs

3.5mm headphone out and line out, 4.4mm headphone out and line out, all with their own physical ports, all with independent volume memory.

USB digital audio input / output / coaxial digital output / analog line out

Inheriting flexibility from HiByOS, the R6 may act as a USB DAC, play TO a USB DAC, or again as audio source via coaxial digital output or analog line out (via the high quality ES9038 DAC), or again as a Bluetooth receiver, play TO a Bluetooth receiver.

2.4GHz / 5GHz dual band WiFi

Dual band WiFi for double the connection speed and stability, supporting ready music streaming.
