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

    The leather case is top-notch! I will give it 90 marks. Ten marks are deducted for using font Comic Sans on the metal grill again. I beg of you, @Andykong, don’t use Comic Sans again! 😂

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

    Hi @Andykong I get my N3Ultra today 😁 and I like it. But one question about the music scanning. Is there a button or setting for me to scan music files of smaller size or shorter length? I could not find a song which last only lasts 50 second.

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

    I only played around the Classic mode (because I really like the sound), but not so much about the Modern mode. Modern mode is to me clearer and the bass is a tad richer but Classic mode is of more lust. Zx-707 is comparatively more detailed and is perhaps having a wider soundstage.

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

    Had a short audition today and here are what I like (using my Elysium): - the warm sound of the Classic tube mode - the damping of the mechanical volume dial is better than that of N3Pro (but I think the grip of N3U can be better) - UI is smooth - the monitor size - the mobile phone...

    RS2 with full-size cans day! Love the warm-ish sound of RS2 and the details of Ether CX. RS2 has all the juicy to run it (Vol 62 in high gain)

    You really need some time to get used to the small screen with your big thumbs man. Your comment on the mid is spot-on - the vocals on it are wonderful. (So do your photos) Hope you share views on it with ie 600.

    Hiby has released firmware version V1.02 for RS2. Some bug fixes only. https://store.hiby.com/apps/help-center#hc-how-to-upgrade-the-rs2 Note: You need to put the “RS2.upt” file into the SD Card slot one but not the slot two, otherwise the player will not be able to locate it.

    Hey what I said about their soundstage is just in a relative sense. My IE600 may also contribute what I described "smaller soundstage". You may need to test RS2 yourself to see if it is (not) your thing.

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    One thing I find it unfathomable is that the retail price of RS6 is roughly 2.5 times of RS2 but, sound-wise the difference between the two is not that big. RS6 is more technically competence in, I think, the soundstage and micro-details (i.e. the technical department). Yes RS6 also can...

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    I am not a metalhead and don't have many metal tunes but I did test RS6 and RS2 with Judas Priest's Painkiller and Iron Maiden's 22 Acacia Avenue. First off I think RS2 is by not mean soft or polite. I even think RS2, in low-gain, is more dynamic than RS6 in mid-gain. But the soundstage of...

    I mean you need to test it first. It is not for everyone. Not for those who prefer a bigger soundstage….. or men or women having bigger fingers. One small note about the small screen. I have a 256GB micro-SD full of music (6,000-ish) but since I use the album view to scroll through my music...

    My not-so-critical comparison with RS6 and R3 Pro as transport in a few words Using VE Ext, Sennheiser IE600 Soundstage: RS6 is much wider and RS2 is more initimate Vocal: RS2 is closer but it does not sacrifice the transparency for showing the instruments in the background. Good for female...

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    Auditioned RS2 alongside my RS6 and R3 Pro and hated what I heard….. The reason I hated what I heard because it clicked all the boxes that a DAP should achieve: - compact and small footprint - R2R - no all other non-sense like Android, streaming, Bluetooth - Fit well with Mojo2 - it comes...
