Audio brand HiBy is currently selling quite a few R-series devices and the latest addition to the family is the RS2. Based on the Darwin audio architecture, the HiBy RS2 "brings the amazing Darwin R2R technology to your pockets in a small and versatile form factor."
Without further ado, these are the highlights of the HiBy RS2 digital audio player:
- R2R network linearity compensation
- R2R resistor ladder network linearity compensation
- 256-tap adjustable FIR filter
- NOS / OS mode switch
- HiByOS PureAudio version
- Touchscreen operation

- 3500mAh battery
- Up to 10 hours of playtime

Those who pre-order for US$479 will also get three essential accessories in the retail package, namely a leather case, a 3.5 mm male-to-male audio line out cable, and an RS series key chain. The pre-order period will end on September 5. The leather case will remain a part of the package after that, but the audio cable and key chain will go away since both are freebies exclusively available for those who pre-order.
For just US$20 more, there is also a pre-order package that includes the Hela IEMS.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
