Bro... Great review. Thanks! And can I just say, your command of English (not just vocabulary, but your ability to deliver off the cuff/extemporaneously during your presentation) is truly amazing! Impressive for sure.
Am impressed your review to the music player,,Hiby r5 gen ll,,it give me a courage to buy this music player,,thanks for the analytical review to this music player,,😊😋🇵🇭👌👏👏👏
if my 10 year old granddaughter can pick my r5 up and use it. Hiby have made a player that is not easy to use and get on with, but one that sounds truly remarkable for a mid range unit.
Excellent review. Your review solidify my decision to get Hiby R5 Gen 2 after a lot of consideration of available options. R5ii class A amp opens up old school dynamic driver headphone like my Ultrasone HFI 780 to become a very balanced headphone that even today's market available headphones couldn't match.
@@Soundnews that's really sad to hear thought :(, cos I really want hear full review cayin n8 ii from your perspective 😔, and I thought that unit is really best DAP in class right now but sadly cayin doesn't want to send you that unit
Chiar eram cu ochii pe el, cineva spunea ca e identic ca sound cu M11 Pro versiunea ESS, daca asa e ar fi o alternativa super ok la aproape jumatate din pretul Fiio-ului daca NU te intereseaza browsing-ul sau aplicatii solicitante, pentru experienta muzicala eu zic ca ar fi bestbuy, thanks for the review!
I remember the fiio x3 second generation, tech has improve, but sound to? Is it worth making the upgrade? I remember i paid for the x3 200 aprox, now daps are much higher price tags. Thank you, i admire you on how you share your knoledge! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
im confused between shanling m3x and hiby r5 gen2 although i know r5 has better sound but dnt know which one has better UI software experience ..Is it worth streching some bucks to go for r5 gen2....?
Hi, i would like to ask under 1500$ range which Dap have fastest bass speed, transient response, the most resolving. Is that Fiio M11 plus ltd ? Thank you.
Do you know if gapless playback truly works on this device? I’ve seen posts about issues regarding this topic with Hiby and can’t seem to find updated information. I listen to a lot of live music, ie Phish, GD, jazz, etc so this is very important to me.
Are instruments sounding realistic just like human voices on this one? I am looking for a lively and realistic sounding player for myself for long time now.
Hi sir, does this hiby r5 gen2 sounds better than a smartphone even in economy mode? I do have a hiby r3 pro but I want to upgrade to this hiby r5 gen2. Is it worth the upgrade even if I don't turn on the class A amp? Thanks so much
M11 Plus has a faster SoC, so everything loads faster and moves snappier. It's also a little cleaner and more transparent sounding, while R5 offers a nicer kick in the bass and midrange. Depends on who you ask, but I like the sound of R5 a little bit more.
@@kenzoquiambao if you have heard them both can you provide some valuable inputs about their sound, irrespective of the specs or price.. The reviewer here says it sounds like the Class A amps he has, which are ofcourse pricer than the m17
M17 is in another league - sounds more like combining a really well made D/S DAC with something like a Benchmark HPA4. It's dead neutral, but super clean and over-powerful. R5 provides a very different type of sound, that's thicker, warmer and more "musical" in a way.
@@afistfulofpimples1745 why would that be ridiculous? It would just mean that the signal from the class A is routed through the bluetooth module. The source before the bluetooth module does make a difference.
Hiby is another brand that does things THEIR WAY. And this Little baby is the proof. Good job from them and good review from you!👍
First R-2R ladders with FPGA (RS6), now transistors biased into Class-A operation, I'm wondering what's cooking next :)

FYI, Ultrasone HFI 780 runa on SE with Class A amp on and 80 - 90 volume.
@@nightringer9815 what about ibasso dx 170

Can't wait for review cayin n8 ii
Hey mate, sorry to bring you the bad news, but Cayin doesn't want to lend me a unit :( Just got their reply. That's indeed a super interesting unit...

I have an M11 Plus ESS around me and I do enjoy the sound of R5 a little bit more, it's just more organic sounding to me.

Can the USB type-C port be used as an output to connect to and play music on other devices (eg. A Car stereo)??
In your opinion, How does it compare to the Hiby R3 Pro saber?

Would this do a great job of driving my HD6XX and HE4XX to their full potential?
Full potential?...I don't believe so, but close to it, more like ~90% from them.
Could you compare to shanling m3x disabling class A amp?

Gapless Play works. I like to listen to live concerts too

That was my feeling. It sounded more realistic versus a FiiO M11 Plus ESS.

yes.
does it better sound than TRI TK2?
How this compare to Hiby NEW R6?
Hey man hope you're doing great
Would you tell how well it goes against Fiio M11 Plus
If it's a fair comparison to say so
Sound identical but r5 g2 is cheaper so r5 g2 wins
M11 Plus has a faster SoC, so everything loads faster and moves snappier. It's also a little cleaner and more transparent sounding, while R5 offers a nicer kick in the bass and midrange. Depends on who you ask, but I like the sound of R5 a little bit more.
Does the 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced ports double as line out?
Nope, there's another 3.5mm jack that can work as line-out
ya lo he comprado
Was thinking of getting the m17, should i get this instead?
Broo hahaha that's a huge difference in terms of sound and specs. Instead, ask yourself if this one fulfill your needs or the other.

@@Soundnews thanks for your response.. I need both speed and punch for my very technical death metal library. What do you suggest THX AAA or class A?
@@anuragsaha145 Warmth to guitars and rock and metal is always a good combo. Neutrality is good too. I don't think you can go wrong
What about Bluetooth? Does it work in class A with Bluetooth?? I usually use fiio tws5 bluetooth adapters with iems when I'm out and about.
That's ridiculous, of course it wouldn't.

Fair enough
Super!🇺🇦
