    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    Oh snap, my player decided to update the firmware again today, this time to 1.31. I had thought it would have been the latest when it updated the other day, but I guess not! Anyway, the problem disappeared! Thanks & sorry for the noise. <3

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    Hello! New R6 III owner here! I'm trying to use the media buttons in PowerAmp. If I press pause and then again to play, it appears to continue playing but the seconds count in about half-second intervals. Whether in working or wonky mode, the next track button goes to the next track and also...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    @F208Frank: For me, Dave was the bigger upgrade. Even though I came from Hugo 2, Dave added more conviction and detail. M Scaler seems to add a bit more air and smoothness somehow, but to me I think it was a smaller change. @musickid: Off the bat, I really like how the Z1R is so comfortable...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    In other news, I've had Dave + M Scaler for about a year now, mostly sourcing from an Allo USBridge. It's a USB reclocker hat for their Sparky computer -- which is a lot like a Raspberry Pi. So it runs linux with the Roon Bridge software. I use Focal Stellia the most, I think, but Utopia, QDC...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Some while back on this thread, a few members spoke highly of Dave of ZenWave Audio and his custom-made cables. Well, I reached out to him for a pair as well. I've been very happy with it after a year and change of really enjoying this cable directly connecting my Dave to a pair of lovely and...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thank you, @rgs9200m & @xxx1313 for these thoughts. It has been the recommendation for the thick gauge, "high current" power cables that has me considering the Pangea AC 9SE MKII (7 AWG) over the Pangea AC 14 XL MKII (14 AWG). Is this sound logic, or is most of the superiority of a cable like...

    Thank you, absolutely. Yes, Hugo M Scaler is on order.

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Hello, DAVErs! I'm considering a power cable upgrade. I hear good things about thicker-gauged power cables (7-9 AWG) with the DAVE, but many people report great results with the Shunyata Venom 3 (10 AWG). Still others are perfectly happy with the 14-gauge Pangea AC 14SE -- and I would imagine...

    Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion

    I was also considering the Lavricables option. I would love to hear impressions of it or any comparable cable. Not to be a downer, but I think that Comp4 might be a little heavy for me.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Ok, I'm very happy with this. Next move is to attach my inbound, cheap, old-school NES knockoff USB controller which will serve as the next, previous, play-toggle buttons, and maybe other things. I think I've already worked out the javascript required to interact with Roon. But the point is...

    Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion

    Are the Hugo2 and LCD-i4 secure in that Pelican 1060? I'm thinking that there would still be some space above them for things to jostle loose and clink against the top of the case. It seems like you would need another layer of foam on top to really secure things. (And you would lose the ability...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I read some comments at least from @MacedonianHero about how well the AKG K812 (open headphone) pairs with the Hugo 2, so I'm imagining the K872 (closed headphone) will also be a great pairing... I'm interested in a great set of closed cans to plug directly into the Hugo 2 -- an all-arounder. I...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    So I thought I'd share my little project, still in progress. I've only assembled it. I'm still waiting for delivery of a Raspberry Pi 3 board. It has the ARMv8 CPU which is supported by Roon Bridge. (My Pi is gen 1, with a CPU that is unsupported by Roon Bridge.) We'll be using the DietPi distro...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Got this today. It's a touch small in one dimension for the Hugo, but otherwise it is perfect. I do have a Peak Design Field Pouch as an earlier poster enjoyed with his Hugo 2, but it's a little big and doesn't quite fit the part, I feel. As for the leather ones, I think I'd rather let the...
