This versatility ensures that your speaker remains a valuable asset for various entertainment needs, whether you're hosting a party, enjoying a movie night, or simply relaxing with your favorite tunes.

LongevityHigh-quality speakers are built to last, with durable construction and reliable components. Investing in a good speaker means you're less likely to encounter issues like distortion, degradation in sound quality, or component failure over time, providing you with years of enjoyable listening experiences.

Enhanced AestheticsBeyond their audio performance, good speakers can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your living space. Many speakers feature stylish designs and premium finishes that complement your décor, turning them into visually pleasing additions to your home or office.

Connectivity OptionsModern speakers often come with a variety of connectivity options, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and wired connections. This flexibility allows you to easily connect your speaker to a wide range of devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs, without the hassle of cables or adapters.

Room-Filling SoundGood speakers are capable of filling a room with sound, delivering powerful and balanced audio even in larger spaces. This ensures that everyone in the room can enjoy the same high-quality listening experience, whether they're sitting right next to the speaker or on the opposite side of the room.

Overall, investing in a good speaker is essential for anyone who values high-quality audio and immersive entertainment experiences. Whether you're a music lover, movie buff, or avid gamer, a quality speaker can elevate your enjoyment and appreciation of your favorite content.

Delightfully snappy to listen to and to use

A real pocket rocket, it looks as good as it is!

The Saber difference

The R5 standard edition gives a warm, smooth sound while the Saber edition ruthlessly cuts through the most complex of recordings to reveal detail for all to hear.

Resolution beyond its peers

With dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 flagship DAC chips on board, integrated to the motherboard using a professional QFN packaging process to maximise heat dissipation. On the R5s, we pull out all the stops to relay every musical detail extracted by the dual DAC chips.

Panasonic electrolytic caps

4 470µF Panasonic electrolytic caps round out the output stage to increase current capability for transient response.

Panasonic Hi-Polymer Tantalum POSCAPs

7 200 µF and 4 47µF capacitors are all high-end Panasonic POSCAPs with minimal ESR for maximal power supply noise rejection and pure sound.

Two OPA1642 in professional audio-grade packaging perform low-pass filter duty while two AD8397ARDZ are in the amplification stage with high-end heatsinking provided to heighten sound quality and performance stability.

Bigger than it looks

Weighing only 160g, with a 4” 16.8 million colour LCD taking up almost the whole front bezel, the R5 is as big as it is handy. With 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm balanced headphone and line outputs and up to 1040+1040mW@16Ω of drive power through 4.4mm, this tiny package is as big as almost any headphone needs.

Systemwide MSEB for your customized sound

Systemwide MageSound Eight-ball tuning board allows you to tune the player’s sound to your specific headphones and listening tastes.

Note: Systemwide MSEB available on firmware v1.6 and higher, does not effect DSD, MQA. Only processes onboard headphone outputs (i.e. excludes Bluetooth, USB, line and coaxial digital outputs)

All-format audio support

Fully supporting DSD, DXD, APE, AIFF, FLAC, WAV and WMA lossless music formats; MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG etc. lossy formats; also MQA.

MQA Support

MQA’s award-winning technology captures and reproduces the sound of the original studio master in a file that’s small enough to stream and download easily. HiBy R5 is capable of MQA rendering to 8x.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC

Rock-steady system programming plus 2GB RAM and 16GB storage ensures silky smooth operation and playback.

Open Android 8.1 System

The HiBy team, with its strong software team, optimized the Android 8.1 system for bit-perfect playback, using the DTA system to bypass the resampling Android audio stack for systemwide bit-perfect audio, while at the same time supporting practically all Android applications, for a smartphone-like operating experience while outclassing them in audio performance.

Bluetooth now also HiFi with UAT technology

Ultra Audio Transmission—the Bluetooth audio codec developed in-house at HiBy, supports 192kHz audio transfer with bitrate up to 1.2Mbps, while also optimizing itself for different music content. Bringing you true hi fidelity in Bluetooth.

HiByLink for remote operation
