   This DAP is just incredible: the sound is really natural and analogic and never fatiguing. It drives without any effort the ZMF Caldera and the pairing is ‘whouahh’: it is like an immersion in a concert hall. The HiBy RS8 plays with the same beauty piano solo, violin solo, orchestra and… opera. It is the first time for me that the same DAP is at the top for all music style. The only thing I want to do with such a beautiful technology is closing my eyes and listen to the music…

   This is my 7th DAP and for sure I can truly say, this is the best one. It’s build like a tank, very robust, but also very heavy, keep that in mind, if you looking for something portable. The software is snappy. Hiby Music combines all functions, streaming & playing local files. I had some issues with playback, sometimes music was played too slow or too fast. But restarting the song, switched back to normal speed. Charging time can stretch up to 5,5 hours. If you don’t use class A modus, battery life can hold up to 10hours. Power Output is good, not as high as other DAPs, but still good for the most OverEars. SNR is great, I had no hissing with sensitive IEMs.

   Important is of course, how does it sound? I owned some high-end DAPs iBasso DX320, Cayin N8ii and the A&K SP3K. The RS8 outperforms them with its natural and organic sound. It doesn’t sound as technical as the others. Dynamics are still great, punch is excellent, mids are smooth and highs aren’t fatiguing. I would compare the sound signature to the Tube modus of the N8ii, but maybe not as bright. All in all an amazing DAP, the RS8 gets my full recommendation!
