The HiBy R3 Gen II is fully equipped to handle high-res 32-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256 audio signals, and it supports complete 16x MQA unfolding for studio-grade sound quality. Furthermore, it employs dual independent active crystal oscillators at 45.1584 and 49.152MHz, featuring low phase noise.

Additionally, it supports multiple functions like digital audio source, Bluetooth receiver, headphone amp, and Bluetooth adapter for a computer and wireless audio source, showcasing its impressive versatility.


BUILT-IN MSEB TUNING SYSTEM AND SUPPORTS MULTIPLE STREAMING PLATFORMS
