NEW HiBy R4
I just received my R4 and did some tests with the 'Device Info HW' app listed in a post above. I played an album through HiBy Music, with no PEQ, MSEB, or Plugin active. I then did the same thing with a system-wide PEQ filter (low-shelf), MSEB active (overall temp. slightly darker), and DRX10K...- XTF1

HiBy Digital M300 Android Digital Audio Player,"The Gen-Z Music Player" - Discussion thread
I’m sure It’s not going to help, but the backplate falling off is most likely a consequence of a bad battery: the battery bulged, maybe not that much, but enough to push the backplate out. It’s actually a pretty good & safe design, you know for sure that something is wrong with the battery by...- XTF1

Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP
Besides your (Android) phone, what USB device have you successfully connected to your car USB? Have you been able to connect another non-Android player? What about a large thumbdrive with all you tracks? It is very possible that your car only support Android devices (or Apple CarPlay) and, in...- XTF1

Digital to analog music transfer through USB………. Are you sure? AFAIK the R2 or R3 don’t transfer analog music through USB.- XTF1

Android 14 and "USB Lossless" ...what does it even mean?
There may have been some problems with src implementation on some Android phones.

Head-Fi has a mechanism for the granting of medals... Could something similar be used for users to report a potential troll or sealion? No ban or posting restriction, but something like a low-bar: “you’ve been tagged as potential troll or sealion… the community is watching you…” I think that...- XTF1

Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone
I was mostly interested into the earpads as a possible inexpensive aftermarket replacement. The headband and earpads on my 5909 are still in great condition, so I haven't had to replace anything.- XTF1

NEW HiBy R4
When you say the Shanling H2 ran fine, did you confirm that every single track on your SD was playing fine? It could be that the H2 saw the exact same error, but choose to ignore it instead of trying to fix it and/or aborting the scan—which would be a worse error handling IMO…- XTF1

Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone
I have not disassemble the headband—no need so far—so can’t help. But I got a set of replacement headband and earpads from AliExpress that look to be from the same vendor: same exact pictures. They are utter garbage. Quality is absolutely terrible, the stitches are black instead of red and are...- XTF1

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
In addition to perfect level matching, you would need to find somebody to randomly swap the phones for you and restart the track you left. Otherwise, it is a sighted test, and I’m sure you’ll “hear” differences: nothing wrong with that, it’s just how our brain is wired… So, although there...- XTF1

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
Really? Go for it, explain your process and the results. :ksc75smile: Do you still have the FreeDSP cable? Same night and day difference? Can you also do a blind test with that cable? I suspect it’s an app self-imposed limit, not a HW constraint…- XTF1

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
I don’t have Dusk, but have a few Moondrop FreeDSP cables—allegedly the same cable. Subjectively, I have not noticed any difference between my iPhone (lightning + adapter) and Android. The FreeDSP shows up as a UAC-2 compliant audio device, supported by both iOS and Android. The DSP settings...- XTF1

Is it okay to wear the cable straight down with IEM's instead of behind the ears?
The (entry-level) Tanchjim One is an IEM that can be worn straight-down or over-the-ear: you just need to swap the L & R IEMs (and the cable!) to get a correct fit. I found them comfortable to wear in either configuration.- XTF1

It’s not about listening to all the tracks in a row from #1 to #20,000, it’s about not having to decide what you bring with you and what you don’t… Being able to listen whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you are… If I had to choose 500 “favorites”, I’m sure the next track I want to...- XTF1
