TAP Exclusive!
The incredibly-popular CS43198 with a Class A discrete transistor balanced amplifier at a new low in price-point.
HiBy have “a tastefully refreshed version of an already impressive DAP … incorporates a more capable array of DACs for enhanced performance and a darker background that is easily discernable, synergising well with IEMs of higher resolving power” says Headfonics.
The Cirrus Logic-Class A combo shows up in R6III’s sound, with a sense of vibrancy and vigour delivering notes with charged energy. There’s a trademark HiBy accuracy to frequency response too, coloured yet always correct keeping budding music enthusiasts keeping them entertained – always.
HiBy’s latest release packs refinement amidst a black background attained from a low noise floor, capable of exposing all the detail flagship IEMs and headphones are capable of today.
Four CS43198 DACs supply the increasingly-popular Cirrus Logic package as R6III’s decoding backbone, allowing you to play back Apple Music Hi-Res Lossless, 16X Tidal Masters and Spotify with no shortage of mobile fidelity on Android 12’s modern OS. [See Product Desc. For More]
For the first time since 2021, a new Cirrus Logic player with a discrete output stage. HiBy Music‘s R6III formula pairs R6III brings its Cirrus Logic workhorses, and accompanying assortment of digital reconstruction filters for sonic tweaking, to a new level of affordability.
The converted analog, decoded with the backing of a FPGA leashed to R6III’s DACs generating I2S, yields up to 127dB of dynamic range via CS43198’s dedicated Class H voltage outputs – not compromised as ESS or AKM chips treat the voltage path.
This audio flows as an accurate waveform on to a series of 16 discrete bipolar power transistors working in Class AB or an optimally pure Class A.
A continuation of its junior R4‘s high output device count, and differentiating itself from so many others who use op-amp ICs with inordinate amounts of gain, R6III’s open-loop linearity remains excellent before application of feedback.
That’s owed to its Class A bias ensuring individual output transistors are working in optimum condition – aided by an operating voltage of five volts.
Distortion and noise are kept low, without resorting to the excessive use of negative feedback. HiBy designed a true-balanced differential amplifier to further improve R6III’s linearity, and you can count on common-mode rejection at its best whenever you plug in via 4.4mm.
And even this baby HiBy is able to supply its clean small-signal to the likes of outboard amps such as Cayin Audio‘s C9II, via a dedicated 4.4mm line-out port.
By putting such a high-performance circuit in the palms of people’s hands and offering them a Snapdragon 665 with full Google Play support, HiBy grant you the ability to bypass Android 12’s sample-rate conversion for bit-perfect playback. Music is truly accessible to anyone and everyone.
Discussing the above, it’s so easy to forget we’re talking about R6III as HiBy’s entry-level offering. See what these forward-thinkers can really do higher up the range here, or view our other music players here.
