The HiBy R6 III 2025 switched to Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs from ESS 9038Q2M found in the previous R6 III. The new Cirrus Logic DACs are technically superior on paper. HiBy must’ve thought this new DAC change justified the release of a refreshed model. The R6 III was already an outstanding performer for the money, and now, with the updated DACs and slightly lower launch price, the R6 III 2025 looks like a solid deal as well. However, seeing a complete audio circuit upgrade, including the amplification stage, would be nice. Nevertheless, the Class A/AB amplification has a proven track record.
