Four separate DAC chips, a big 4.7 inch display, and a full open Android 12 build add up to the only quad DAC player in its price range, wrapped in a design that leans hard into a cyberpunk, mecha aesthetic instead of pretending to be a flagship in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQualcomm Snapdragon 665 SOC running open Android 12 with full Google Play access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour separate ESS ES9018C2M DAC chips, with dedicated, separately tuned conversion pathways for PCM and DSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A amplification for zero crossover distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.7 inch Sharp touchscreen display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32GB internal storage plus microSD expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative PCM up to 32bit\/768kHz, DSD256, and MQA unfolding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth 5.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviewers consistently frame the R4 as punching well above its price, with the quad DAC array giving it a smoother, more composed presentation than most sub $300 Android players.
