DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Thanks! I am using a Gustard U18 to send I2S to my DAC. I agree, the DDC is critical, it really cleans up the USB from the source (in my case a portable streamer). -Ed- Edward Ng

Thanks; that’s explains it then. I basically never plug mine in to charge when it’s powered down (and it is VERY rarely powered down, just twice a week when I go to the office, I shut it down after I arrive and turn it back on before I leave). -Ed- Edward Ng

Technically, he’s not wrong. The filtering really only affects ultra-high frequencies. Quite arguably, it is extremely difficult to detect the differences, if your equipment can even reproduce said differences. -Ed- Edward Ng

What Should I Consider Upgrading To?
Hey, all. I am currently rocking a pair of the Tangzu x HBB Zetian Wu HeyDay edition planar IEMs. I listen to them EQ'd on my HiBy R6 Pro II when I ride the train. I like the overall sound in the highs and mids, but I wish there were more punch and extension down low. I've been thinking maybe...- Edward Ng

When you plug the Bathys in, do you get a pop up message about letting HibyMusic have direct access to the DAC? If so, make sure you tap Cancel. -Ed- Edward Ng

I can try them the next time I pull my DAP and play it portable with my IEMs as that is when I use the integrated DAC. Normally, the unit lives on its dock as the head unit of my home stereo setup, and I use an external DDC and DAC for that chain, so the filters don’t come into play. I do use...- Edward Ng

I did not try testing filters. I don't think it was listed as fixed. I did try testing the global balance control. It still didn't work for me--possibly a consequence of using an external DAC. It is not a huge deal for me, as the balance plugin still works. -Ed- Edward Ng

I just tried cleaning the cache, and that didn't do anything either. -Ed EDIT: After cleaning the cache, turned it off, turned it back on, cleaned the cache one last time, and tried again. Still not working.- Edward Ng

Yes, I shut mine off when I saw in this thread that 1.4 is out, and turned it back on, and it still says I am already on current/latest (despite only being on 1.3). Not sure what else to do/try. I don’t know how many pages back I have to go in this thread to attempt to find a manual download...- Edward Ng

Yeah…I have a native DSD DAC (Cayin RU7) so I’m trying to avoid PCM conversion, but I use PEQ for room correction. -Ed- Edward Ng

@Joe Bloggs the global PEQ as well as HiByMusic’s own PEQ seem to get bypassed when playing bitperfect DSD directly from HiByMusic. Is there any way for the PEQ to get applied when playing bitperfect DSD to an external DAC? -Ed- Edward Ng

That global balance thing was also me. But at least the plugin works so there’s a workaround, unlike with the DAC filtering. -Ed- Edward Ng
