Both are portable players, $999 against $949. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?
The iBasso DX260 reaches 100 dB on 566 of the 567 models here, the HiBy RS6 on 564.
| Specification | HiBy RS6 | iBasso DX260 |
|---|---|---|
| Power into 32Ω | 180 mW | 262 mW |
| Power into 150Ω | 38 mW | 56 mW |
| Power into 300Ω | 19 mW | 28 mW |
| Power into 600Ω | 9.6 mW | 14 mW |
| Output impedance | 0.4 Ω | 0.6 Ω |
| Output noise | not published | not published |
| Price | $999 | $949 |
| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 564 | 566 |
A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.
2 headphones reach 100 dB on the iBasso DX260 but not on the HiBy RS6 — Moondrop PARA, Symphonium Crimson.
564 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: HiBy RS6 and iBasso DX260. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
