HiBy Introduces MQA to R3 Portable Music Player

HiBy has confirmed MQA playback support for the R3 portable music player. An upcoming firmware update will allow MQA compatibility to the HiBy R3 - a compact and lightweight portable music player, that offers a hi-fi music experience, whether at home or on the go.

The HiBy R3 guarantees the purest sound experience by using a premium ESS ES9028Q2M chip, and integrating the professional customization audio system, HiBy OS. The R3 also features full touch screen, WiFi, DLNA, Airplay, Apt-X and native DSD. The MQA integration is another mark of quality that delivers a dynamic listening experience.

The Hiby team will be presenting MQA demos at the Fujiya Avic Headphone Festival in Tokyo (27-28 October), as well as the inaugural Canjam Shanghai (3-4 November).

Bob Stuart talks in detail about the technology behind MQA.

Alan Silverman, Mastering Engineer

"Digital music has given users the ability to hold “a thousand songs in their pocket” for over a decade. But that convenience came at the sacrifice of quality. MQA gives the user the ability to keep the convenience of a large library in their pocket, without sacrificing the quality of the music."
