I pack a TT2 in my suitcase, and use that with the M scaler in hotel rooms (like now)... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/watts-up.800264/page-167#post-16461141 Quote TT2 is quite a bit warmer (in a good way) in tonal balance than Hugo 2; so when I travel, I take a TT2 with me for hotel use, as the SQ difference is worth the hassle. But it's no where near not a big enough difference to use a TT2 on aircraft (unlike the M scaler for example). So Hugo 2 is still the perfect match for portable/transportable use, which of course is it's raison d'etre! That might be somewhat "hardcore" if you will, though our lives certainly got much easier thanks to this gift called PGGB from @Zaphod Beeblebrox https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hiby-rs6-next-generation-hi-res-android-music-player.958878/page-85#post-16659926 Quote RS6 supports 2xDXD, which is crazy! I did not try 32bit DXD, and all files were 24 bit, but if you really have a favourite album and you want to hear what it is capable of, try upsampling it and feeding it to your RS6, you never know what you might hear! It is fair to say this is the first time I've heard 2xDXD on a portable setup, colour me impressed! https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hiby-rs6-next-generation-hi-res-android-music-player.958878/page-85#post-16660761 Quote In short, I have nothing but praise for RS6. I will upsample my favourite albums to the maximum resolution RS6 accepts as I hear its benefit. It might also have to do with the program I used. PGGB does extreme filtering using a Matlab upsampling algorithm. The files that I used were upsampling with 256 million taps. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hiby-rs6-next-generation-hi-res-android-music-player.958878/page-85#post-16661266 Quote For me, RS6 is the best product I bought this year, and this year I bought P6, LP6 Gold. The best pairing for me so far has been with Faudio Major paired with Simphonio CS10. I'm also rocking HiBy RS6 (so far that's the only R2R-based DAP out there with NOS mode and it's exactly we need for PGGB) with JVC HA-FW10000 myself, and it's just incredible to enjoy hundreds of millions of taps anywhere I want. There's no need to stack something on top of yet another DAC/amp unless I really choose to do so, while I could actually use RS6 as an external DAC for another machine with a much larger SSD. Its USB-C port also supports coaxial S/PDIF output and it already came with a cable for that particular purpose. HiBy also managed to add dedicated line-output ports for both single-ended and balanced connections, there will be no double amping whatsoever if I were connecting RS6 to another headphone amp that's even more powerful. And then it's also quite convenient to control HiBy Music remotely with any iOS / Android devices https://blog.son-video.com/en/2017/12/two-way-bluetooth-and-hiby-link-control-technology/ Plenty of room for music library since we could add up to 1TB of storage via micro SDXC cards, and then it's also silky smooth to navigate through all that files https://twister6.com/2021/12/08/hiby-rs6/5/ Quote Also, RS6 is one of the fastest DAPs I have tested to date, even putting to shame my aging Galaxy S9 which has a faster processor and optimized to run Android 10. BTW, let's just ignore that even MQA turned out to sound quite decent on RS6 since none of us here would even give a damn at all. RickyV 1 Link to comment
