is it worth upgrading to R8 ii over the R6 Pro II for iems only?I received the R8ii yesterday, upgrading from the R6 Pro ii.
I'm very impressed at how much better the Radon 6 sounds on the R8ii. Build quality of the DAP is superb, love the alcantara and stainless steel design. It is a chunky boy, and it leans more on the heavier side. That's fine though since the Battery life is a beast on Class A w/ or w/o Turbo mode.
Only downside I encountered is the touchscreen having trouble registering input touches on the top half of the screen, here's to hoping it is a Firmware issue and not hardware.
In my opinion, yes: https://theheadphonelist.com/hiby-r8-ii-a-flagship-evolved/5/is it worth upgrading to R8 ii over the R6 Pro II for iems only?
Might depend on the IEMs. I really liked R6 P2 when I demo'ed it recently, but since I already have RS6 I thought the upgrade to R8 ii was worth it instead.is it worth upgrading to R8 ii over the R6 Pro II for iems only?
I have got the Xenns up, FATfreq SC, Mest mk2, GAEA, and the Heydey. R6 is really great but was wondering if I will get more out of my iems with the R8.Might depend on the IEMs. I really liked R6 P2 when I demo'ed it recently, but since I already have RS6 I thought the upgrade to R8 ii was worth it instead.
Nothing wrong with R6 P2, but for pretty much any IEM with a DD in it, you'll notice an even larger stage, better dynamics and more punch. The pairing with Xe6 is simply extraordinary for example.
R8 ii is definitely thicker and heavier than R6 Pro2, but the trade off is just about worth it for the 2x-3x battery life alone.

I asked, and according to HIby, yes.Sorry if this has been asked before: does the CR08 docking station work with the R8ii?
IMO, yes (I have both). Better dynamics and battery to begin with.is it worth upgrading to R8 ii over the R6 Pro II for iems only?
Yes it does...Sorry if this has been asked before: does the CR08 docking station work with the R8ii?
@gLer Hey there, battery is not an issue for since I always use my dap at home at work I take a dongle with me. However,In my opinion, yes: https://theheadphonelist.com/hiby-r8-ii-a-flagship-evolved/5/
Hey there, battery is not an issue for since I always use my dap at home at work I take a dongle with me. However, The dynamics are they that noticeable to pay 2000 for them ? I feel like the R6 P2 is so good but willing to try the S8 ii before pulling the trigger.Might depend on the IEMs. I really liked R6 P2 when I demo'ed it recently, but since I already have RS6 I thought the upgrade to R8 ii was worth it instead.

Have you read theheadphonelist review ? It's wholesome upgrade from R6P2 both technically and tonally.@gLer Hey there, battery is not an issue for since I always use my dap at home at work I take a dongle with me. However,
