Hi-Res micro player with dual ES9219C DACs, a 340 mW 4.4 mm balanced output and USB DAC mode. 3.2-inch touchscreen, scroll wheel, 118 g.


The R3 II runs two ES9219C chips, one per channel, each fed by its own clock. Splitting left and right this way cuts crosstalk and jitter, the two things that blur sound on micro players. Transients hold together and voices stay clean up to DSD256.

The 4.4 mm balanced output puts out up to 340 mW into 32 ohms. That drives demanding headphones most players this size leave underpowered. The 3.5 mm single-ended jack stays on hand for sensitive earphones.

Connected to a computer or phone, the R3 II works as a USB DAC. It draws current from a separate supply rather than the host port, which isolates the audio stage from the source device's noise. One box is both a standalone player and a desktop DAC.

The 3.2-inch touchscreen pairs with a physical wheel for setting volume without looking. HiByOS, built on Linux, handles the local library and two-way Bluetooth. At 118 grams and 15 hours of playback, it slips into a shirt pocket.
