#hiby #fc6 #review - Věda a technologie
Welcome back! Is this better then the Dave-Rockna stack in the background?😃😃 Just kidding, glad to see you active again, my brother!👍👍
Thanks very much for a very informative and interesting review.
Thanks for the comprehensive review, Sandu! It will be interesting to see how this Darwin architecture evolves in the future.
How is this compared to cayin ru6?
Hello Sandu, I'm a newcomer here, just discovered your channel and been binge watching your content. I'm really thrilled with these new r2r dongle dacs, bringing r2r to a new price point compared to desktop units such as denafrips, i'm especially curious how the hiby fc6 would compare with the also new cayin ru7, if you ever get the chance to compare the two i'll definitely watch! Subscribed and notifications are on. Have a nice one and thank you so much!
Hey Bernardo, welcome aboard! RU7 is on my radar for quite a while, in case I'll have one for review then I will definitely compare it with HiBy's FC6. Small dongles are usually not that special sounding, but this one is something else completely.
Is it really a good buy ???
As I am very tempted to buy one ... Saw it has plenty of good reviews so far....
Nice to see you again. I have 3 Hiby DAPs, 1 with R2R. I am disappointed with this Hiby Dongle, I was expecting them to produce a powerful R2R Dongle with a 4.4mm connector or a desktop DAC/Amp the size of the "ifi Gryphon" with similar connectors.
This dongle is quite powerful for having “just” a 3.5mm connection
Soundnews..ThanksMuch!..
Thanks for coming back, appreciate it!
I wonder how this compares with the Cayin RU6 and RU7?
Cayin has balanced output 😊
@@ruslanmulyk8601It's not balanced. It does have a 4.4mm output though
Glad your feeling better...do you use an external clock?...I'm wondering if or how much difference an external clock will matter while using a Gustard R26?
nice review...what's your favorite usb dac dongle? and considering SQ Only, can it compete a DAP , if I may ask?
This is currently my favorite USB dongle, followed by Shanling's UA5 and then by FiiO's BTR7 and Qudelix 5K. FC6 can easily compete with a midrange DAP, I actually like it more than Hiby's RS2.
Thank you for the review, Sending you blessings❤ so Your health is in great shape. I bought FC4 and my iPhone is shuting down, luckily most of the time the volume is loud enough with my IEM’s . I wonder if Cayin RU7 and RU6 work with IPhone? Thanks🙋♂️✌️
Any hiss with this dongle?
How does it compare with L&P W4?
how it is compared to fiio m11 plus ess sound quailty only ? i only use with thanchjim Oxygen .thanks
Hello can it drive HD600 headphones? As I look for something portable to drive my cans.
Thank you
Hiny FC4 is work with iphone or is shutdown same as FC6?!
Hi my lord!
Fc6 better than hiby r5 II?
How does this compare to topping G5?
i aint got a phone (ball & chain) just use the shanling m1s with dca closed x hp's for portable music; works well!
Better than rs2?
Ru7 or this sir?.. Ha2 dun go futher then IEM... not suitable.. 4 me endgame iem system...how is gonna be coupled witb tubes or delta sigma.. Get well always.. peace!
Cayin RU6 or RU7 is the way to go if you looking for a dongle dac that is R2R.
RU7 is the best option 😊
Agreed, I sold my RU6 and kept the RU7.@@ruslanmulyk8601
I bought the RU7 (after owning the RU6) great DAC love the sound, one problem there is clicking noise/pop sounds when playing files on a bunch of software like Audirvana, HQPlayer (no problem with Roon though) must be DSD conversion...@@ruslanmulyk8601
interesting that iphone cant handle it - given that iphone can handle just fine FC4 thah has way more juice
NOT a leather case, in fact, fortunately for we vegans!
