    HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread

    I'm a bit puzzled by your post, when I go to Settings/System/System Updates it says 1.30_20240306-1443 then Check Version and it says The current version is the latest version, how did you download version 2.1? Regarding prices coming down so drastically I find this very hard to believe - it's...

    The Course of Vacuum Tubes in Cayin Portable Personal Audio, and a Glimpse to the Future

    “I wonder if an audiophile is really looking for tube sound won’t they just purchase a powered tube amp and get the real thing?” As an audiophile looking for the tube sound and for whom it isn’t logistically possible to have a powered tube amp at home I’m hoping instead that the C9ii will be...

    NEW HiBy R4

    Have you tried contacting Steve at npaudio.co.uk he's very responsive and highly professional and might be able to help and they also sell Hiby daps, Amazon isn't necessarily always the first place we should look at - especially if we want to give our local smaller dealers a chance to breathe.

    Interesting machine from Luxury n Precision

    The price difference in the UK is £450, about 15%, so the Exclusive Edition is definitely a better proposition for the extra benefits that you get, in fact I don't understand why L&P is offering a Standard Edition considering the extra costs involved in producing and marketing two different...

    Interesting machine from Luxury n Precision

    From what I understand the 3 tunings are something extra reserved for the Exclusive Edition which also benefits of the L&P tuning, whereas the standard edition will have only the L&P tuning - which is already quite something! However why no card slot in the standard edition?

    Interesting machine from Luxury n Precision

    I remember reading somewhere that the Standard Edition would have been released a month after the Exclusive Edition so nobody would have it yet to review.

    Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience

    That might work, I can't verify it as I only have the N8 which has bluetooth, however if not you could try connecting a bluetooth receiver like the A&K PB1 to the N3U and then streaming from the N7 to the HB1, would be interested to know if you try it.

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    "Otherwise it'll be redundant alongside there being the availability of the C9. C9 really is so fleshed out and can see alot of people feeling they don't need to move on the the update model. They really made the original C9 that good." If this was true there would be very few new...

    Hifigo responsiveness

    I informed them by email that my ddHiFi DJ44C Pro adapter had split into 2 and I received an immediate reply from them very kindly offering to replace it for free which was the best response I could have wished for so I can highly recommend them.
