The HiBy R2 platform also sees the trickle-down of their excellent MSEB DSP as well as support for their excellent HiBylink control for BT remote control via your phone.Īside from the audiophile and wireless features the HiBy R2 also sports a dual microphone setup for stereo recording and a reasonable 1000mAh battery size for a claimed 15 hours of continuous playback. Support for BT5.0 also covers their proprietary UAT technology up to a maximum of 192kHz, 1.2Mbps wireless audio signal transfer via Bluetooth 5.0.
Not only that but with the addition of 5GHz WiFi, it can stream via TIDAL and at some point down the line an intention to include Qobuz. The R2 comes with HiBy’s own HiByOS, supports MQA 4x unfolding, and up to DSD128 and PCM 32BIT/384kHz decoding. With a dark-chrome-colored Zinc alloy outer frame and a rather unusual way to fit a screen, this ultra-light new entry packs in a crazy bunch of hardware for the price. The HiBy R2 takes its seat at the foot of the table logically slotting below the R3 and it does look similar to the R3 design in many ways. The R2 is HiBy’s new entry-level digital media player and was released at the same time as their new Beans IEM and FD1 USB DAC, both of which we will also be reviewing shortly.
