Great video as always, Andy! You explained the HIBY R1 really well, and I completely agree, with its features and performance, it's an amazing deal for under $100. Keep up the awesome work!
I am looking to replace my heavy old but great AR M2 player , and seems that this little buddy would be perfect for travelling around airports and taxis. Thks for the review.
i use mine every day even though i have more expensive stuff. reminds me of a time before cellphones haha. the screen is really bright and sharp too. feels nice in the hand 🤷🏻♂️
@roberto8ag i got a handful of cheap IEMs sub $50 dollars i just grab on the way out the door, if something happens and they break it's no big deal. i leave my $200+ iems at home. can't really go wrong with any popular cheap iems in my opinion to pair it with the r1.
M0pro can be had for under $100 on sale. Twice the power. Idk about sound or functionality. Thanks for the review Andy. Always a useful guide in a world of so many options
Was choosing between shanling m1 plus and hiby r4 but i think i might get this r1 + fiio k11 r2r as its about the same price after shopee discounts for both of them vs just a dap
Excelent review! Thank you! Please, just to clarify - can I get lossless audio directly from the R1 without any DAC? Just using the R1 and my headphone? Is there some kind of resampling? And by that I mean FLAC files inserted into the R1. Thanks!
I was waiting for your review on this device. I would like to ask if there is a big difference in sound if you would compare this to an android phone that has an audio jack, like your Xperia or a ROG phone?
Yes there's difference and improvements. It is more resolving than my own Xperia 1 iV and with more features to tune the sound further to your liking. I have no idea on ROG phone unfortunately
@@AndyAudioVault Thanks for the information. If it sounds better than the Xperia, then I can conclude that it would sound better than the ROG phone. Thanks again!
Hello! Very cool video! This will my first DAP in a few days and I have a question... Can I make a playlists on device or I must organize my music on SD card? Create new folder, use mp3 tag software or something like this? Thanks!
Thanks. As far as I can see, there's no Playlist creation option on the R1 for locally stored music in the SD Card. The interface is simple as shown in this video. For ease of access I suggest you sort your music on the SD Card the way you like it and then use the File option to browse. Or you can use MP3Tag software to tag the files properly and easier to use Albums/Artists selections
@@AndyAudioVaultOh, thank you for your answer! Yes, I edit this meta tags (genres), organize albums and prepare for my new mp3 player 🤠 I just didn't know if it's possible make playlist in Hiby OS or mp3tag software... I will just make a special mix "playlist" directories, something like on a Spotify.
Btw, if one attempts to purchase a DAP better than this beginner-friendly R1, that also comes with bidirectional Bluetooth, what would you recommend? I’ve been looking into the Shanling series, particularly M1s and M1plus as they are also small and compact but not too small like the M0pro. Of course, there’s also R2, R3, and…R4 whose price would be a bit more intimidating. There might be others out there from Fiio and tempotec, which although I’m not as familiar with, I’m all ears to learn about their capabilities. Thanks!
Is the UI snappy and responsive even if you are currently playing music and scrolling through your library? I have seen a post that their R1 always crashes whenever they scroll and are currently playing something. Thank you Andy!
This Dap was rushed to market. It suffers from numerous problems low power, crashes volume implementation problems. $80 is still $80 why waste it on a dap that doesn't perform well
I got my device although it's been a few days I haven't experienced any crashes of the sort. I can really justify spending 200 dollars especially in my country on a DAP.
Still running my saber pro2 hiby player and my R4 I just don’t know if I’ll be able to upgrade to anything more they do everything I need my little small heavy, perfect for run runs or walks slide it into a pocket bam you’re gone when I worn a little more power I hook it up to the R4 and I’m happy as a clam😢
Thanks for the review. Does the side button have the functionality to play previous tracks? If not, do you think Hiby will do a software update for it?
thanks for review ,i was waiting for it before purchase i have few questions 1 has line out ? 2 please compare with dc 06 pro (or dc04 pro) in technical detail,soundstage
There's a section of this video how you can emulate LO to connect to external amps, you need to remove the volume restrictions first. It does not have dedicated LO function. DC06Pro is clinically more resolving with sharp imaging and DC04Pro is simply a bit better with everything from power, resolution and soundstage
Hey Andy, I saw that you have the Pilgrim and the Noir on your tier list but no dedicated review. Are your scores from that short listening impressions vid or did you get to spend some time with them? Asking because everyone and their mother says that the silver Pilgrim is a detail beast but your score there is waaay lower than some cheaper alternatives.
I did spend considerable time with them and my scores reflect what I think of them, no more no less. Cheaper alternatives? price does not determine the results. A much more expensive Vision Ears VE10 is lower than both Pligrims. And they are not "way lower" either as you can see they are very competitive in the upper tier
@@AndyAudioVault Thanks, was just wondering. Would have loved to see a review of them. I have the BQEYZ Wind and was looking for something more technical.
I have had the Fiio M6 for less than a week, as today he smashed to the ground. I'm sorry because I love it's building quality, but now I don't know i fI should buy it again (2nd market) or choose the new Hiby R1, would you help me deciding? I must say that software wise, the Fiio M6 had some limitations and it was reaaaaaly slow.
@@AndyAudioVault Oh, thank you a lot for your response and kind words! I don't pretend to be rude, but would you go for the Hiby R1 (new) or for a similar price for 2nd hand prestine condition Hiby R3 Pro Saber? Tnaks in advance and sorry to make so many questions, but I'm searching something with well build quiality, good ui and of course good sound quality for my Marshall Mode EQ.
Hi Andy! Please advise me.I have a Shanling UA4 dongle and I connect it to my smartphone via UAC.01. I really like the sound. If I buy this mp3 player Hi by R1 and connect my dongle to this player, is it worth counting on improved sound? Or do I not need to spend the money and leave it as it is? And another question. Now I can buy Hi by R2 II for the same price. Which of these mp3 players will be better?
If you are going to use your UA4, then you can run UAC2 on this R1. Connecting an external dongle to any DAPs including this R1, the sound you hearing is what being processed by your UA4 100% because the DAP now will serve only as source transport, no audio processing from the DAP internal DAC. What it means, it does not matter what DAP you use, your UA4 will always sound the same no matter where it is connected to
I daily use the R3 Pro ( _for years_ ) the proprietary OS seems similar. Not getting into details the only downside is updating the music database especially with a 1TB SD Card: sluggish 😮💨 (*) Otherwise fun to use @ home too once connected line out to Tube Amp. (*) transfering curated playlists or just a couple of new albums.
@@AndyAudioVault Sadly no one does a bench test on this ( _processor speed_ ) Should be simple : insert same SD Card / Update Library / Measure time 'til completion. Good advice to couple the Hiby with a slim external amp, it lengthens the Hiby battery usage with high gain on external amp. For Planar headphones I use my Tube Amp 18-600Ω / 1.1 watt output 🤙
Is it possible to queue songs on the go without creating playlists? I mean from the locally stored files to have the option to queue the next songs as i can do with the "Play Next" option on Spotify or Tidal
Local playback don't even have Playlist option. It's all real time playback from the available selections of play from Folder, Artists, Albums or Genres. Only Tidal have Playlist which you create in advance
I just ordered it. It's my first dap ever. Can someone recommend me a proper set of headphones (IEM?) to listen music with it? I don't really understand the science behind it. I just shouldn't use it with very expensive headphones?
Proper headphones is a very subjective matter. What is great for one person can be the worst for another. But in general, for anything under $100 there's just so many to choose from now. I would say that under $100 category I would highly recommend DUNU Titan S2 and for under $50, Kefine Klean
Andy , the iBasso has the ability to run full Hiby as the stock player, as any android device can with means MSEB as well. The R1 having this feature is nice but certainly not exclusive to Hiby devices, that part was unclear in your review. Also to get to MSEB is very counter intuitive as was many of the OS functions. The Volume lock WHY just WHY
Friends The International Flights From Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman And Nicobar Islands (U.T), INDIA To Southeast Asian countries is now Available. (Singapore, Indoanesia, Thailand, Malaysia and More). The 1st Flight started on 16th of November 2024.
If only they made beefier batteries (by adding thickness not lenght).. 16h is not enough for me and I would love at least the double. My old x9 cowon from 2005 run circles over it making it my choice for long distance travels.
It is reliable as can be expected like when connected to an Android phone. I have only tried with ONIX Alpha XI and DC07Pro, two of my most feature rich dongles. Battery endurance on dongles are shorter since the dongles are drawing power from the R1 and you can expect 10 hours at best
7:08 what? You audiophile didnt understand the ,,overall temperature,,? Cool/bright vs warm/dark? You will go literally between cool/bright sound up to warm/dark sound 😅
@@AndyAudioVaultyou are no wannabe Andy. You are well established and we love ya💙. I was just shocked as you are usually well articulated within this jargon 😊.
I just want something that will play a full discography easily, one album after another and it's like the people who make music playing software simply won't make things easy for people to do so.

All the daps are kind of pointless to me. If any company make something look like a smartphone why they don't put sim card function on this! I like music but i don't like to carry multiple devices for multiple functions. I hope Dap manufacturers wil make Moondrop Miad 01 like devices more.
The point of dedicated DAP is to not have any RF inducing components and there's always need for this sort of devices even if it does not fit the requirement of some. There's everything for everyone
While I know what you're saying is absolutely correct I think that in this day and age you and I along with everyone in the Community knows that dongle docks have gotten so much better than they've ever been a simple dongle can turn your phone into an audio Powerhouse
@@Drakken2030True. But in the same vein this DAP is lighter than most smartphones today as they reach 200 grams, granted most daps also reach that, players are used specifically for music while phones can do almost anything you want. The MIAD smartphone is also really expensive compared to my phone. So this DAP is a useful device for someone who doesn't like to lug their phones with dongle dacs.
I tried to settle with type c dac dongle but my phone type c port become lose due to extensive use of type c dac dongle. Now my last hope is buy a lg v60 and join weirdo club! 🫤
I have another question. Is possible connect Bluetooth headphones to this player? I didn't see any review try Bluetooth headphones... I understood Bluetooth option in description in ad. is for headphones. I just bought very good brand new Bluetooth headphones for 12€ from 100€ original price, because only this player. 🫠

I have another question. Is possible connect Bluetooth headphones to this player? I didn't see any review try Bluetooth headphones... I understood Bluetooth option in description in ad. is for headphones.
I just bought very good brand new Bluetooth headphones for 12€ from 100€ original price, because only this player. 🫠
The answer to this question is at 02:47 yes it can connect to any BT headphones that supports LDAC, SBC, AAC or even APTX
Thank you, you are really nice. 🙂
