Exceptional Sound Quality
At the heart of the R3Pro II lies a pair of
CS43198 DAC chips and
four OPA1622 headphone amplifiers. This combination ensures that users experience rich dynamics and exceptional clarity, with impressively low distortion. Whether you're using standard 3.5mm headphones or high-end equipment through the 4.4mm balanced output, the R3Pro II can deliver up to
480mW output, catering to a wide range of headphones from balance armature and dynamic to planar and hybrid-driver types.
Optimized for High-Fidelity Playback
Running on
HiByOS, HiBy's proprietary Linux-based operating system, the R3Pro II is specifically optimized for high-fidelity playback. The player supports a range of audio formats, including
DSD256, PCM 384kHz/32bit, and
MQA 8X. Users can also enjoy flexible sound customization with HiBy's signature
MSEB tuning panel, making it easy to tailor the sound profile to individual preferences.
Streaming services like TIDAL and Qobuz come pre-installed, and features such as WiFi music transfer, custom radio, and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates ensure that the R3Pro II remains cutting-edge.
Connectivity and Battery Life
The R3Pro II doesn't skimp on connectivity options. With
Line-out, USB DAC, S/PDIF out, as well as support for
Bluetooth 5.1, AirPlay, and DLNA, this DAP can function as a powerful music source for a variety of audio setups. Its robust
4000mAh battery offers up to
21 hours of playback time, ensuring that your music keeps going as long as you do, with an impressive standby of over
900 hours. Storage expansion is seamless too, allowing for up to
2TB with a Micro SD card.
Premium Design and User Experience
One of the standout features of the R3Pro II is its back panel, made of
premium Ultrasuede®. This soft touch material not only enhances comfort when handling the device but also contributes to a refined look. Offered in various colors including
