PARA puts Moondrop back in the race!
You are one of the best,thank you for all your work!!
My Focal speakers are warm with my McIntosh amp. I want a more open clear detailed sparkle. This seems to be just what I need to improve the sound of my setup
Hey Bro I'm from Philippines can you notice my comment. I'm a number 1 fan of yours in my country.. Can you review the Aune M1p they say its the most underrated DAP but Sounds very Good and can compete to TOTL thnak you bro IWII
"Great video review and I just subscribed to your channel to after I just ran across this review of yours too!!!" 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️ I have this Hiby R4 in orange my husband gave me $200.00 dollars out of income tax money we got back and I went bought this on Hiby's website I gotta $10.00 coupon which brought the price down from $249.00 to $239.00 I have mine for about 3 weeks and l love it!!! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️ I wanted the Hiby R6 Pro II in Purple a man here on UA-cam was was selling from the UK but he didn't sell it for the £200.00 pounds he sold his for £400.00 pounds so I seen this R4 and thought cool this is a nice futuristic looking player and I bought it. And I did still got buy the Hiby R6 Pro II on Amazon on Saturday night using Affirm payments this time without any money down in the purple color which comes in the mail later today. So I'm pretty happy with both of these cool players!!! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
Glad you like them. Great color choices btw! 👍
Just ordered one of these, looking forward to having dedicated audio device again, UK pricing on this is pretty good as well, only £219.
2024 and companies still cant beat sound to comfort/price dap from Cowon J3. 70 gramms! Rginner and smaller than any phone. Buttons can be pushed trough cloth without seeing it. Playback for 50+ hours! And all of that was in 2010* for 70$ used. Also many people used it for 10+ years without any problems and repairs. Hiby r4 is still a huge brick. Yes price is good compared to others, but people say its medicore sound quality. Okay for price, but nothing wow. Maybe LG v60 or g7(if you dont need good camera or processor) for 150-200$ used.
Thank you for the review! I own the A8 and really like it. What relatively few people know is that it is a drop in replacement for Squeezebox Touch using the existing setup with LMS, NAS and controller app. I bought the A8 believing it had a good enough preamp to eliminate my preamp from the system. Boy was I wrong, my Topping Pre90 simply betters it in any way especially when it comes to dynamics and overall tone. Still an amazing product though!
My favourite reviewer! Any Schitt Kara's you can get your hands on? Would like to see a review of that. 👍🏻
Hi. I actually brought one of these last year. Unfortunately it won't play anything from my Galaxy Tab A8, which I bought it for. Just doesn't send a signal out of the usbC, though it does light up! And yes it does work, because I have used it on an old LG phone ( the B&O version ) I didn't have any luck with Hidezs so it has barely been used at all. Maybe 3hs. Do you or anyone reading have a fix ? 🤔🙏
Is this an ad?
Great channel!!! What are your opinions on Wiim Pro streamer vs. Zen Stream for just the streaming purpose? I have dedicated dac and ddc...
Wiim is better to my ears. Tonality is fuller and more natural. Zen Stream appears lean and bright in a direct comparison. Also, Wiim has much better software.
@@iiWiReviews ok great info- thanks!!!
Would I be able to play Apple Music on it? Thanks
Yes, you can simply install the official Apple Music app from the Play Store.
@@iiWiReviews thank you
How does it compare to an Aune M1P, that does sound more like a Mojo 2 and not flat as most Chip-based DPs?
Srboljub! Thanks for posting this video
Does this streamer have Google Chromecast support? I keep seeing conflicting information. Some sources says it does; some says it doesn’t
Never ever suggest a manufacturer to should have priced something higher. Audio is too damn expensive to begin with. If anything R6 should be waaaaay less. FR
What about a comparison with their FC6 dongle DAC ?
Comparable when SE output is used on R4. But balanced out on R4 is better (wider soundstage, more deteils).
@@iiWiReviews Thanks, will you review the ONIX Alpha XL-1 ?
What to get a DAP or a Dongle... This is making the decision a bit harder. Since the best Dongles are getting so power hungry you also better carry a powerbank, but around a hundred they are getting very good already, like the new Onix Alpha Xi1.
Its a great DAP I got one to replace my old LGV30+ as the fingerprint reader had failed and I suspected that it was about to die, I just moved my micro SD card over and I was good to go the R4 sounds great but its only weakness is with its Bluetooth as LDAC at full fat would lose connection every now and then but I got it for my wired IEM so Im not too bothered with that. Another feature I like is that it will act as a desktop DAC if you plug it into your computer.
Bought one. Sounds great. It's definitely the best buy out there right now. The latest firmware update allows you to switch the outputs to line out.
There is no replacement for displacement
How about usb dongles like the audioquest cobalt? My go to benchmark. Cheers. Also better than usd 200 desktop Dacs from Topping, SMSl and the rest?
Cobalt is nowdays in line with these ~$100 DACs I mentioned in the video like Hidizs XO. This sounds noticeably better. Desktop DAC/AMPs still have the edge because they can pump more power and heat. If you use big headphones and have no need for portability, it's the way to go. But this is a fantastic portable alternative.
@@iiWiReviews Wow! Tech really trickles down then. Just find dongles more convenient somehow as I need to monitor the phone on the go. Cheers. I find your review on point based on your preferences and you describe what you hear objectively. Mine is analog vinyl tubes so I’m not as picky with these dacs though. This generation is lucky on their equipment but me being biased music in the older days with melody no auto tune etc more better! And my next project could be a Magnepan powered by those usd 200 less class D amp bridged! Can you imagine maggies driven by Fosi or Aiyama. Stupendous you spend almost all on speakers then less usd 500+ on your pre, mono amp and DAC! And the sound hopefully will be glorious, 2.7i should also rock a bit.
Nice review. I dont know much about DAPs as I have never used them. Does it support Apple Music or Spotify?
It's an android based DAP so it supports both Spotify and Apple Music apps from the Play Store.
@@iiWiReviews Thank you. I am seriously considering getting one instead of a portable DAC.
Hey, thanks for the review! I'm super excited to receive mine this week and try it out.
How does it compares to tempotec V3?
still would buy Shanling Ultra 6
Bluetooth (receiving) not working. Sound Quality is good. But its still disappointing because of Bluetooth. Maybe there is some fix not sure ??
Sweet Zune
🤣
So you could judge the price of a piece of equipment by listening to it.
That's why I like you and I make it a point that your reviews are my benchmark.
do a review on the moondrop miad-01. i got one and love it.
How does it fair? I am interested in getting it as well.
i love my R4! ordered it directly from hiby and got it in texas in 4 days with express shipping.
i ordered mine from canada and it says its coming from texas its been 5 days cant wait for it!
I will soon find out how these will sound on a vintage amp. I have a pioneer sx-727 receiver that I will be using to power these speakers. The SX-727 has a nice warm natural sound so I’m hoping it will pair nicely with these. I will be using a higher powered amp to power larger speakers for the bass I like when listening at louder volumes. We shall see.
Geez….now you got me second guessing my next purchase! I was thinking of picking up the Ibasso DX 180 but at 3x the price I’m wondering if it’s worth it? 🤔
Hey, Jub, my Tradutto is on fire. Can't really thank you enough. Cool runnings
Thanks for your support as always! 🙂
I've had one of these for about a week. I love it. The AutoEQ PEQ files on Github are excellent for getting the most out of it. Roon has turned me into a bit of a PEQ junkie, and being able to PEQ on a DAP was what decided this purchase for me. From Koss KSC75s to Focal Elegia, this reasonably priced DAP does an excellent job with all my music. My extensive mp3 collection, ripped back in the 00s, also upscales really well with the help of the plugins. Until now only my Sony DAP did a good job with mp3 files. As you state very clearly, it outperforms its price point by a long way. You made me LOL telling Hiby to be "a big boy about it." Very funny. I suspect they know they're disrupting the market. They're targeting young people to try and get them off their phones. Everyone wins.
🤗THANKS SRBJ for sharing this to help the community… hope all is going well🤗💚💚💚
Like the way you say punchy. It sounds very punchy.
gay
@@roberta.6579 Not so. He speaks with passion about the Hiby because it is a great media player. I don’t own the R4 but I do have the R6 and it is a very impactful player.
Hmm, maybe my next purchase after Kickstarter Verum 2 will arrive 😎👌
