@Joe Bloggs can this DAP use your transient boost plugin?

It doesn't support DRX10K via built in system plugins (not available on the M300). But I have ported it to JamesDSP which can be run rootless on these new Android versions

If this bypassed android up sampling it would be my ideal device!

Nope, you can stream directly from this DAP

Practicality for power honestly. If you need more power, you should consider the R3 II. If you want to stream and do more than just listen to music, go for the M300

That is when you have WiFi !!! When you don’t, you either need to tether the M300 to you phone USB—I think that was the question, and I don’t know if it works—or, connect the M300 through your phone hotspot.

HiBy Digital M300 First Impressions
WATCH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW HERE:
Come with me as I share my first impressions on the HiBy Digital M300, the Gen-Z Music Player. This is HiBy Digital’s first product priced at $199 and is currently the cheapest Android DAP in the market. And as a member of the Gen-Z, I would like to know of this can really live up to its name. So let’s find out!
Coming from the expertise and experience of HiBy, the M300 from HiBy Digital is a genuinely impressive device for the price. A full android experience barring the sim and camera and a more than competent spec sheet makes this a very usable and practical device for music lovers.
Although the lack of Android SRC bypass, bugs and instability as well as the somewhat underwhelming interface (e.g. the buttons) might turn some people off, I’d say that for its asking price, it’s more than enough to justify its existence. Just don’t expect this to be the end all be all audiophile device.
STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL REVIEW!

I'm a great fan of HiBy. I've still got a working version of the OG R5 and the R6 III too. The R6 III punches way above it's price point. To see HiBy being brave enough to bring a low priced music DAP onto the market with a 3.5mm and a modern version of Android, makes total sense to me. Cheap enough to start younger ones on the road to good quality sound and keeping a 3.5mm jack is a good combination. Fantastic value.

Agreed! HiBy already leads the pack with budget non-android DAPs (and is one of the few brands that offer budget non-android DAPs in the first place) and HiBy Digital has all the makings to be a leader in the budget Android market too. If HiBy Digital gets enough financial backing, surely we'll find sub $100 Android DAPs in no time

If you start from the R5-II or R6-III and look at lower price Hiby’s, you have on one hand the R3-II with a simplified (compared to the R5/R6 Android) OS, but pretty good audio spec, and now, on the other hand, the M300, with full Android, and simplified audio (still, the single CS43141 is no slouch). I think the M300 is going to fill a nice niche. I don’t need it but have one on order 
There might still be room for a (lower spec? smaller?) M200…
Thank you very much for the review and all the information about the M300. It look very nice!
One question, can .apk applications be installed, for example, from the microSD or another location that is not necessarily the Play Store like any Android or is this blocked?

Yes, you can sideload apk's.

Hoping that when Android 14 comes around, the HiBY Digital releases a new DAP that can do bit perfect (if the rumors about the Android 14 is true)I also agree

Finally, an affordable and compact Android dap.
