The HiBy R6 III is the third generation of the R6 Android digital audio player. It uses two ES9038Q2M DAC chips and has selectable Class A and Class AB amplification. Two independent crystal oscillators, at 45.158MHz and 49.152MHz, provide 1024x oversampling of the audio signal.
It runs Android 12 on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor with 4GB of RAM. Systemwide bit-perfect audio lets multimedia apps play high-resolution audio. It decodes MQA to full 16x unfolding, PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz, and DSD up to DSD512 natively.
The Class A circuit uses 2 OPA1652 opamps and 16 extra hand-matched transistors. In Class A mode, the player delivers peak power output at all times. HiByCast lets a remote smartphone or tablet operate and manage the player's functions and third-party apps. A 4500mAh battery powers it.
