Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP
Hi I use the R6Pro with my Etymotic ER3-XR when travelling, but at home I use the R6Pro with my HD660s over a balanced connection, and they sound absolutely fantastic. Never have to have the volume high, the amp in the R6Pro drives them perfectly. Hope that helps - let me know if you have any...- shauny

Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP
So... I upgraded Tidal from the Play store, and now, my MQA tracks (such as the one above) show 96K when they play. The side button now lights up in green when playing MQA files (which I believe is correct for 96K), whereas previously it lit up yellow (which I believe is correct for the 384K...- shauny

I'm not sure what's happening - has anyone else seen this, or can anyone explain. If 192K is the maximum from Tidal, how is my R6Pro showing twice that, as below?- shauny

It definitely works - i just updated on wireless, version shows as 3.18.71-perf, Mon Apr 20 17:29:39, build 1.86G, and I see the same track in proper MQA at 384K.- shauny
