USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I was listening through my iBasso IT01 IEM with a HiBy FC3 usb DAC. Changed the settings in UAAP to force English and restarted the app. Pressed play and almost blew my eardrums out? Volume was stupid loud compared to what i was before? Seems like it randomly determines audio volume on startup...- ivo001

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I've put it on "when possible". But I do get a notification that MQA is not available in the trial. What is more worrying to me is that the dac seems to disconnect when i pick up my phone. Usb connection seems unreliable :(- ivo001

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I just got my Hiby FC3 USB DAC. I'm using it on my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and downloaded the UAAP Trial. I'm playing the album Southern Blood - Gregg Allman whic is MQA quality. But my Hiby FC3 only has the blue light on, which is supposed to mean 32-48kHz quality. for MQA playback it should be...- ivo001

Hiby FC3 Portable DAC&, MQA Compatible
So you need to plug in a headphone then? Can't just use it for the DAC to process and then the phone to send music over LDAC to Bluetooth headset?- ivo001

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
I have not used UAPP yet. So buying the app and a Hiby FC3 would be my best option for wired headphones/earphones? I've been using PowerAmp full version for my own files, and Spotify for the rest. Would the sony DAP be an improvement for listening over Bluetooth with the Sony WH1000XM3, in...- ivo001

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
I'm thinking about buying this FC3 to use with my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro. My best headphones are the Ibasso IT03 and Sony WH1000XM3. I'm wondering if I should get a USB-C to 3.5mm DAC, or buy a dedicated DAP. The Sony NW-A55L is now on sale for about 140EU/170USD. The Hiby FC3 would be 57EUR/69USD...- ivo001

Sorry Slater, don't have to much info, as it's not meant for myself. My sister was just saying that she was looking for some bluetooth IEM to pair with her smartwatch. So for general use, I would say comfort and balanced EQ are the main criteria. Figured something like ED16 with bluetooth cable...- ivo001

I've did this and now they have replied with these options: Anyone else had trouble getting it replaced for free? Thought it was a known issue that this batch has defaults on the left side. Would expect them to just replace it and ask for a refund at KZ?- ivo001
