I'm comparing two popular players in the $100 range in detail: HiBy R3 II - https://ali.click/sq9j115?erid=2SDnjc... Shanling M1 Plus - https://ali.click/f79j11m?erid=2SDnjd... They are very similar in format, size, and functionality, but they differ in literally everything: interfaces, control logic, audio processing capabilities, and, most importantly, sound character. This review covers the appearance, ergonomics and controls, screens and interface usability, functionality and sound settings, how the equalizer and MSEB work with different formats, Bluetooth, streaming, and use as a Bluetooth DAC, a detailed sound comparison and blind test, a hardware breakdown, and an explanation of why the sound is so different.
