The Darwin architecture is HiBy’s in-house developed all-new hi-res digital signal processing architecture. In a breakthrough evolution of traditional R2R architecture, the system for the first time includes advanced functions such as linear FIR filter, nonlinear harmonics control, switchable oversampling / NOS, and DSD bypass on portable equipment. The end-to-end flexible architecture is fully configurable, creating endless possibilities for future upgrades and endless evolution.
The R2R resistor ladder consists of 12 high-speed switches and 184 high-precision resistors, double the amount of the last generation, effectively increasing dynamic performance and fidelity at low signal levels. Further addition of a DC offset correction circuit allows for the use of a fully DC coupled output stage, further improving impulse response. Sample rates up to 1024x DSD and 1536kHz PCM are supported, surpassing the specifications of many full-size systems in a portable device!
The R2R resistor ladder DAC architecture’s core is the high-precision resistor ladder, consisting of 12 high-speed switches and 184 high-precision resistors. The digital signal is driven, via the high-speed electronic switches, and the drive voltage is modulated by the resistor network to obtain an analogue voltage waveform corresponding directly to the digital signal, avoiding the high-frequency modulation of D-S DACs for a more natural, transparent and emotional presentation.
Effectively reduces nonlinearity caused by resistor resistance mismatch in the R2R network; in tandem with the unique harmonics control system of the Darwin architecture, produces a more relaxing, natural listening experience.
NOS mode is non-oversampling, responding more immediately and directly to signals, converting the digital signals to analogue output directly, and bringing a more analogue sound signature. It is more suitable for music files/streams of 192kHz sample rate or above.
Oversampling mode easily removes aliasing artefacts via the tried and true combination of oversampling and ultrasonic lowpass filter, yielding superior measured performance; enables all functions of the Darwin architecture, realizes personalized adjustments of sound signature, adapting to different earphones.
2x femtosecond precision crystal oscillators, clocked at 45.158MHz and 49.152MHz respectively, dedicated to 44.1x (including DSD) and 48x (including MQA) kHz family of audio format sampling rates, with phase noise as low as 159dBc/Hz @1KHz offset, ensure precision playback of all music formats with zero audible jitter effect.
Handpicked gold-tantalum capacitors are utilized to ensure clean power output, higher power supply ripple rejection, and lower THD of the resulting system; Loaded with 4 Elna SILMIC II silk fibre capacitors for silky highs comparable to tube amplifications! Complete with 47 high-capacity tantalum capacitors, and 10 Panasonic thin-film POSCAPs, you are getting your money’s worth just in audiophile-grade capacitors inside the player!
Comprised of 2x OPA1652+8x NXP dual bipolar transistors, the class-A amplifier features “zero” zero-crossover distortion and instantaneous transient response;
Maintaining peak output at all times, the class-A amplifier maintains ideal drive and control characteristics over full-size headphones, high and low impedance IEMs and all sorts of difficult loads and driving easier loads is a snap. The RS8 maintains a composure befitting a modern flagship while playing any complex music passage through any headphone load.
