Description

Experience The Sound Of A Concert Hall With The All-new Portable Digital Audio Player – The Hiby R8 II
Hiby introduces the portable concert hall, flagship digital audio player, and the all-new R8 II. HiBy has upgraded the original R8 and has launched the R8 II with the “Portable Concert Hall” ethos. R8 II takes one step further in filling out the large soundstage projected by the series with a new level of sound detail and density. The HiBy R8 aims to bring out the openness and power of an orchestral performance into a portable listening environment, all thanks to the all-new flexible Darwin-MPA architecture. The Multiphase PWM Array design of the HiBy R8 II adopts a 16-way current mode DAC paired with I/V conversion and LPF output stage. This design aims to create a detailed and crisp sound, which lets you experience a massive concert-hall-type feeling. HiBy has designed the R8 II with top-quality hardware aiming to deliver top-level sound performance, suitable for enthusiasts like you who look forward to experiencing hi-res sound. The HiBy R8 has intricate design details showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of HiBy with a curvy stainless steel frame and a premium Alcantara back panel. Let’s discover the excellent performance of the HiBy R8 II.
Mobile Concert Hall
The R8 II Tuned in seeping with the “Portable Concert Hall” ethos of the original but takes one step further, in filling out the target soundstage projected by the Sartus Atha new level of detail and dynamics, truly wettentral performance into a portable listening environment, all thanks to the all-new Darwin MPA-Architecture.

Darwin-MPA Technology Unleashed
The Darwin-MPA (Multiphase PWM Array) continues the flexible design of Darwin-R2R, having most of the same distinguishing features as Darwin-R2R. To work with the internal delta-sigma modulators, input signals are oversampled to 128x via the flexible Darwin v2 filter system (which may optionally emulate various types of non-oversampling DAC functionality via the 3 built-in NOS filters or follow a hybrid approach via the built-in Darwin Ultra filter). The oversampling (or non-oversampling) processing follows a cascaded FIR design with a highly precise 1024-tap opening stage.
16-way current mode DAC coupled with I-V conversion and lowpass of output stage creates a more detailed soundstage with good power efficiency.

Generation family design lines
An asymmetrical design language of dual curves realizes an elegant curved surface that is at once visually stunning and comfortable to hold.Light dances along its curves just like how music dances through its circuits!
A chassis made of surgical-grade stainless steel material befitting the surgical precision of its audio quality. Possesses high tensile strength, exemplary resistance to rusting, wear and tear, able to retain its stunning visuals through long-term use.


Dual independent headamp circuitry, software switchable.
Universally acclaimed class-A amplification powered by 2 ADA4625-2 driver op-amps and 16 custom transistors for zero crossover distortion and fast transient response.
Unlock extra control over the earphones with Class A mode, increasing the sense of power, density of presentation, at the same time increasing control / “grip over the drivers for the kind of detailed, nuanced sound befitting a flagship no matter how complex the passage.
Class AB mode yields better battery life, less heat, at a sound quality level that will already satisfy most earphones on the market.
Dual Headphone Amplification with Turbo Mode
Experience universally acclaimed class-A amplification with the ADA4625-2 driver opamps and 16 custom transistors, ensuring zero crossover distortion and fast transient response. The R8 II offers Class A mode for detailed, nuanced sound and Class AB mode for improved battery life. Turbo mode, with a 25% power boost, provides a full-throttle audio experience.

Flagship-grade analog circuit components
Including 4 tube-like Elna audio capacitors for an analogue, detailed sound character. Also, 28 high-density, high-capacity tantalum capacitors, a loadout befitting a king (of audio)!
12000mAh huge battery Huge battery custom-made for shocking levels of power consumption ensures adequate room for using class A and turbo modes;
21 hours SE/ 11 hours balanced battery life comfortably powers through long trips, ensuring music accompanies you all the time!

Independent power supplies
Digital, D/A, preamp and postamp circuits are individually supplied with electricity with no cross-over.
Headphone amplifier circuit
Headphone amp is powered by a low-ripple DC/DC transformer + 3 high-flux, low-IR, fully shielded high-power inductors.
The ultrasonic lowpass
Lowpass filters are powered by a DC/DC transformer + 6 high PSRR +/-LDOs independently supplying left and right channels.
DAC power supply
The DAC is powered by a DC/DC transformer and 2 ultra-low ripple LDOs supplying left and right channels independently.

12000mAh huge battery
Huge battery custom-made for shocking levels of power consumption ensures adequate room for using class A and turbo modes.

A HiFi firebrand that keeps its cool
Pure copper battery case is substantial in the hand, highly efficient in heat dissipation and keeps your player’s internals cool in the hottest situations
HiByOS-exclusive DTA technology circumvents Android SRC from the roots of the system, enabling bit-perfect audio from third-part apps simply from plugging your earphones in. Also enabling bit-perfect audio on the USB audio output
HiByCast Systemwide HiByCast remote control
Breaking boundaries, allowing remote control of all functions of the R8 II on smartphones and tablets alike, HiByCast allows you to control opening and operation of even third party apps on the R8 II remotely on your other smart devices, opening the door to using the R8 Il in home entertainment, connected to audio receivers etc. while controlling its operation from your couch using e.g your smartphone.
