Hiby R1

HiBy Music's R1 is one's ideal first music player. As affordable as a portable USB DAC dongle, it's R1's standalone features as a DAP that stand out.

MOONSTAR Reviews rates it highly as your first dedicated device to play your music on. HiBy packs its own battery meaning you won't need to deplete that of your everyday mobile devices. 

HiBy use R1's battery to good effect, building a full audio circuit around it. You'll hear the upgrade proper PCB space and a dedicated power supply yields.

From the outset, you'll find out what 'Hi-Fi' sound is about, through its Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC.

With specially-developed audiophile digital filters aboard R1's DAC– coded for their audio reproduction fidelity and not cost – you'll hear the difference versus your regular mainstream Bluetooth buds and PC outputs. 

R1 also achieves high playback bandwidth, essential if phase response in the human hearing range for taut, snappy dynamics is to be preserved. Instruments and voices will sound lifelike for the first time, with transient reproduction all phase and timing intact.

Come and reap the benefits from one of Sennheiser's single dynamic driver IE200 and IE600 earphones. Also check out the rest of HiBy's other releases here, or view our other DAPs here.
