HiBy RS2 II: Flagship DARWIN III Hi-Fi Sound for US$439
Lewes – October 19, 2026 -- HiBy's new RS2 II portable Hi-Fi player costs US$439 in its aluminum alloy edition, weighs 156g and uses the same DARWIN III audio architecture as the company's flagship RS8 II.
A flagship audio engine runs on an FPGA with 40 DSP units
DARWIN III is built around a newly developed FPGA digital engine with more than 35K logic units and 40 high-speed DSP units. That processing power drives adjustable pure FIR filters, multiple DARWIN filters, harmonic control, NOS/OS switching and native DSD processing. A high-precision R2R resistor network handles digital-to-analog conversion, which HiBy says helps reduce high-frequency noise introduced by digital modulation.
