      Thanks, mate! HiBy R4 video will be dropping after I return home from Munich (9-12 May - Munich High End Show). R4 is definitely as clean and resolving, it feels as fast and snappy, the transients are going wild on this one, but it isn't as organic sounding, especially in the midrange. My son loves it to death and already asks if he can use it for music listening. Loving the look of it and the sound is insanely good considering the price. I find it too cheap for what I'm getting in return.

    In your opinion - what's the best DAP in the same price range? Mainly for rock and jazz music. I thought about shanling m6 ultra but m5 seems to be good (and cheaper) option...

  • @Flavius7
    @Flavius7 Місяць тому +1

    If not FIIO than... Shanling! Am I just being simplistic, or those are the best companies in the market right now for price/performance ratio? And have different sound implementation, so you can easily choose your audio faith. More neutral and detailed, or more musical and colourful. Glad those two exist on the market.

    I've read a few comments that claim this unit sounds quite similar to the M8. The resolution and transparency of the M8 isn't the best at this, but it's not bad either. How would you compare this dap with the M8? Also, is it as warm and rolled off in the treble as the M6 Ultra?

    • @Soundnews
      @Soundnews  Місяць тому +1

      It indeed sounds like combining the best of M8 and M6 Ultra while providing a bit more power and oomph down low. Its tonality is identical to that of the M8 and the roll off is similar to that of the M6 Ultra. You nailed its tuning.
