100+ Head-Fier
Had my R5 for a week's got it from Ali Express just before lock down. Very impressed with it, responsive UI, feels sturdy and more importantly sounds great whatever source I am using. Used it with my Shure SE425 and Meze Classics, just ordered Meze Rai Solos to try with it next.
USB DAC works well and is recognised by Roon when connected to my pi. Roon app works well on it considering it still resamples everything to system rate a Roon issue not the R5. But the controls don't control playback on the device when app is used. Spoke to Roon and Hiby about this and both looking in to it, so happy with CS at Hiby so far.
One thing is though I find the Bluetooth range on it very limited. I can't put it in my pocket with out getting dropouts. Take it out and its fine. This is less than a meter away from my Shure BT2 dongle. Any ideas here? Wireless internet is ok just BT.
