​PRESENTING THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AND HI-RES CERTIFIED R-2R DAC - THE FC6

The HiFi audio market has seen HiBy for a while. Their extensive selection of Digital Audio Players, portable DAC & Amps, and in-ear monitors have changed how we listen to music. With the advent of R-2R technology, many companies started incorporating it into portable DAC & Amps. HiBy took a leap of faith and has introduced this tech in their all-new FC6 portable DAC & Amp. The HiBy FC6 is a promising portable DAC & Amp with an R-2R DAC module, Darwin Architecture, FPGA reclocking system, and much more. It is a highly versatile device, compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android devices. It has a 3.5mm Single-Ended headphone output making it compatible with most headphones & IEMs. The HiBy FC6 allows you to experience Hi-Res music in all its glory and is also Hi-Res certified by the Japan Audio Society. Delve into pure music nirvana with the brand-new FC6!

​FEATURES R-2R & DARWIN ARCHITECTURE WITH FPGA DELIVERING PURE ANALOGUE SOUND

For the FC6, HiBy has designed a brand-new digital signal processing architecture known as the Darwin Architecture. HiBy has designed this based on traditional R-2R ladder array architecture. The system includes resistor ladder linearity compensation. For the first time, an R-2R system is combined with advanced functions such as a Linear FIR filter (Finite Impulse Response) and switchable OS/NOS (Oversampling/Non-Oversampling) filters on a portable DAC & Amp. The HiBy FC6 utilises 96 high-precision resistors in an R-2R network with undisclosed black-ops tech for linearity compensation to yield natural tonality, accuracy, and transparency of traditional Delta-Sigma DACs. The HiBy FC6 promises to deliver audio with emotion, warmth, and naturalness based on the Darwin system. The HiBy FC6 can decode PCM up to 32bit/768kHz and Native DSD up to DSD512. Experience pure analogue sound like never before with the all-new FC6!

​DISCRETE HEADPHONE AMP STAGE FOR CLEAN AMPLIFICATION

HiBy has designed the FC6's amplification architecture to be on par with most high-end Digital Audio Players. It features two flagship-class OPA1622 headphone amp chips and 4-way current mode amplification. The HiBy FC6 has a Discrete headphone amplification stage delivering jitter-free audio amplification that prevents clipping. It is also equipped with dual crystal oscillators at 45.158MHz and 49.152MHz, for accurate clocking of 44.1x and 48x kHz music sources and vanishingly low jitter.

​EXPERIENCE CLASS-LEADING AUDIO WITH MODE SWITCH AND MQA SUPPORT

The HiBy FC6 is equipped with digital filters allowing you to tune your way to pure sonic bliss. It also hosts a NOS/OS mode switch making it a highly versatile USB DAC & Amp. NOS mode is non-oversampling, responding more immediately and directly to signals, converting the digital signals to the analogue output bringing a more analogue sound signature. NOS mode is more suitable for music files/streams of 192kHz sample rate or above. Oversampling mode easily removes aliasing artefacts via the tried and true combination of an oversampling and ultrasonic lowpass filter, HDR, and NOS/OS mode switch, yielding superior measured performance. It also enables all functions of the Darwin architecture, realising personalised adjustments of sound signature and adapting to different earphones/IEMs. The Darwin HDR improves dynamic range and detail retrieval, attaining new levels of musicality. The HiBy FC6 also supports 8X MQA unfolding, allowing you to experience master tape quality audio, making you feel as if you were right there with the artist at the recording studio.

​ELEGANTLY BUILT WITH ALUMINIUM CHASSIS FUSED WITH VOLUME CONTROL AND LED STATUS INDICATOR

The HiBy FC6 has a compact form factor with robust texture. It has an aluminium chassis with a glass front colour display for clear status and mode indication. The HiBy FC6 has an elegant RGB LED status indicator that switches colours based on the currently playing audio format. It also has an integrated 32-step hardware volume control with physical buttons allowing you to control the volume on the fly. The HiBy FC6 is also compatible with the HiByMusic app. It seamlessly combines with the exclusive USB mode to stream digital bit-perfect audio utilising the FC6's decoding and amping prowess. Perceive music differently with the all-new FC6!
