On a match box sized device with old Nokia style keyboard?
I don't think so
WiFi coverage on beaches, in parks and other places where people usually take these tiny players is also less than perfect (Spain included).
But to all, their own

Using LMS as… what? How did you expose LMS so that the R2 “sees” it? DNLA through Wi-Fi? AirPlay plug-in?

Okay, today, for the first time, I've experienced an unexpected battery drain when the R2 II was off and left in a cabinet in a room temperature.
I did not change my routine, at all - no WiFi, no Bluetooth, since I'd listened to local audio files. The earphones were plugged in.
During 7 hours the battery went from around 70% to 15%
Quite disturbing.

So it's not just me, gotta wait for first system update I guess?
LMS with upnp bridge plugin - DLNA on R2 - WiFi. LMS control using Material skin plugin.

My Hiby R2 II will be in my hand tomorrow or day after and I'm already feeling unhappy. Beside this battery issue, someone pointed another issue with this DAP. I hope these are software issues and not hardware issues so it can be fixed with firmware.
HiBy R3Pro also has that very loud pop sound issue - start playing, set on pause, wait at least 30 seconds then start playing, use balanced output.

Either this or (if it happens on a regular basis) I'll try to have it returned / serviced.

Fortunately I have not yet experienced any software issues. However, my unit has an opening where the buttons are located.
Does this happen to you guys too? I'm asking this because some of the few videos on YT about this unit seems to have the exact same problem.

Same here, I think it is the soft plastic which deforms easily.

Quite a departure from the metal and glass body of the original R2

Ordered Hiby R2 II on the same day as a Shanling M0 Pro, some 2 weeks ago, at the last AliExpress big sale. Couldn't resist, as it was really a bargain. Streaming Tidal works flawlessly but the UI is not quite intuitive. Don't like to read the manuals. Right out of the box, it took me longer than usually to understand the menus.

Same thing, but to a lesser degree. Also seen on the opposite side. No visible gap on the front side.

Many album covers are not shown at all, There must be some size limit for the album arts, which I haven't encountered with any other similar player yet.
Using Tidal, it shows only 4 own playlists, only 4 artists and only 8 random tracks from all of my favourite music.
Either the battery drains too quickly or the battery percentage shown is not accurate.
On the positive side, it does sound realy great, especially with hi-rez files and has quite nice soundstage and a good separation for such a small entry-level player.
