Conclusion
The R3 Pro is a musical sounding DAP that is able to provide impactful bass, full midrange and smooth treble. The soundstage provides an enveloping feeling. In addition, the R3 Pro has solid build quality with many functionalities. The HiBy R3 Pro is an excellent step up from the R3 with its highly captivating sonic display.

Looks exactly like R3 but inside definitely improved, I wonder how fast does it boot up and how snappy is the interface.

The R3 Pro has more defined bass, forward midrange and crispier treble. Around 10s. It’s snappy.

Does this player come with the screen protector pre-installed? Not a deal breaker for me obviously, but I always appreciate when the screen protector comes pre-installed. Looking forward to trying out this DAP in the near future. It seems great.
