The Best Hi-Res Music Experience Ever Experienced
Enjoy truly authentic Hi-Res Audio in a compact body, the HiBy R6 Pro is designed for master-level sound quality and the utmost sonic purity.
Make Up Your Mind Here...
“ The new tonal tuning gives it a more powerful sound and more pleasing timbre than the original R6. That lowered output impedance makes it much easier for sensitive IEM matchups.It is still the fastest DAP in the market today and for the price one of the nicest looking DAP’s also with that beautiful screen. WiFi and BT are strong with no issues streaming, storing offline and integrating with Google Play services." Check the full review HERE.
"The HiBy R6 PRO, and especially the balanced output, has quickly grown on me. Not only does it sound excellent, it’s also a pleasure to just hold and work with. Beautiful design, superb UI, and great versatility. The R6 PRO gets good points all over and it’s hard to find any flaws. If I could change something it would probably be the SE output and the interference issue."

"If you are deciding to upgrade from R6 and looking into R6 Pro, there are definitely advantages in higher output power (if you need to drive more demanding headphones), 4.4mm balanced output (a new standard with many latest upper tier DAPs), lower output impedance (though you might still need to use iEMatch with very sensitive IEMs). The Android performance is still very fast and relevant." Check the full review HERE.
"The R6 Pro is a full-bodied sounding DAP that is able to provide impactful bass, intimate midrange and smooth treble expression. There is a satisfying sonic performance with an alluring listen... The HiBy R6 Pro is an excellent DAP and the highly musical sound creates an enjoyable listen." Check the full review HERE.
