    HIBY R6 - DAP Dual DAC Balanced Out - Great Reviews and Over 500% Funded @ Indiegogo!

    Gone and transferred files between my two MicroSD cards, oddly enough the SanDisk Extreme card was playing sort of okay with the HiBy before I did that, but anyhow for now it has the Evo 128GB in it. I'll monitor it but so far it seems to be more responsive, scans the library much faster and has...

    Oh, neat. Thanks. Maybe I'll try swapping the Evo and Extreme that I have. Need to find somewhere to temporarilly stuff 150GB of files to do that...

    HIBY R6 - DAP Dual DAC Balanced Out - Great Reviews and Over 500% Funded @ Indiegogo!

    Yes to both, but caveat is that it occurs on even modest bit rate MP3s sometimes and it also sometimes plays a hi-res file with no issues whatsoever. As mentioned I have a SanDisk Extreme card (rated for R160/W90), which is a significant step over the more basic Ultra line. Specifically a 128GB...

    I just did one today thinking that could help. As far as I can see it didn't help in particular, though it added the global plugins. The whole stuttering thing with files on the memory card seems to be... really temperamental. It sometimes will do it nonstop and other times it'll be fine for a...

    HIBY R6 - DAP Dual DAC Balanced Out - Great Reviews and Over 500% Funded @ Indiegogo!

    I bought it second hand, so I can't return it. Mine is a SanDisk Extreme, but I've just tested in my main phone and there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with it. A Chkdsk did find some errors but I ran extended tests and scans via DataLifeguardTools and HDTune, even benchmarked the card, I...

    HIBY R6 - DAP Dual DAC Balanced Out - Great Reviews and Over 500% Funded @ Indiegogo!

    Mine seems to have a squidgy volume up button. It's still working but it's not confidence inspiring. I'm also having lots of glitches with mine particularly with the memory card. It sometimes has difficulty reading from the memory card and mysteriously attempts to unmount/eject the memory card...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    I'm honestly not too sure... I hadn't enough time to really get a feel of the ZX500, but the initial impression was that my ZX1 had more treble sparkle and definition with a wider sound, placing the furthest sounds ... well, further away. Don't take my impression of the ZX500 sound too...

    Aye, his consistent presence here is one of the reasons I chose to go for a HiBy! Thanks for the clarification. Just gonna wait on the news on where to find those changelogs. ...Admittedly it's not important, I guess, but I really would like to see what's changed/added/fixed over the life of...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    That's interesting that the ZX-507 has a 2 hour charge time... 2 hours is about average for a ~2,000mAh cell with no fast charge tech I think. Does the ZX500 actually have any fast charge specified and I just missed it? And yes, most batteries getting around 500 full recharge cycles is the...

    Meant to post this here but absent mindedly put it in the R6 Pro thread instead - I'm looking for the firmware changelogs mainly; I'm about to get a preowned R6 aluminum... so I'd like to confirm a few things; 1. Can I have that guide on how to update the OS to 8.1 if it's still on 6.0? 2...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    I had a brief hands-on with the ZX500, it's pretty decent sounding, but somehow I felt my ZX1 actually did better! And the ZX500's elongated format is nice and comfy to hold, but the tiny screen is an eye sore and difficult to use, it's too narrow. Song titles are truncated and such. While the...

    Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP

    I'm about to get a preowned R6 aluminum... so I'd like to confirm a few things; 1. Can I have that guide on how to update the OS to 8.1 if it's still on 6.0? 2. Where can I see the firmware changelogs? 3. Has firmware improved Bluetooth stability or upgraded it to 4.2? I tested a R6 steel and it...

    Help with this RCA-TRS speaker setup...

    Bass, treble, volume, sfx/loudness controls are on a wired control pod. Currently I'm considering purchasing a preowned MX5021 and using the satellites from those with speaker-wire-RCA convertors, or perhaps getting Harman HKTS 30SATs, if those use RCA connectors, if this setup turns out to be a...

    Help with this RCA-TRS speaker setup...

    Here's the best illustration I can give at the moment. If it's not clear then do let me know what needs elaboration. At present, the source is a 96kHz optical signal being fed from a dedicated sound card into an amp, which the Altec is connected to by its supplied 3.5mm cable. Then the Altec...

    Help with this RCA-TRS speaker setup...

    If it helps, I'm trying to hook up a Gigaworks T40-II here. I was pretty much expecting everything to function as, well, expected - the right channel works perfectly fine, but I can't figure out what is causing the left channel to also play on the right channel. So what's happening exactly is...

    Help with this RCA-TRS speaker setup...

    I'm back on Head-Fi for some help I need pretty quickly... I just went ahead and splurged on some powered 2.0 speakers to replace the passive satellites on an Altec Lansing 2.1 system. The 2.0 speakers have a 3.5mm input, while the Altec Lansing is basically everything done by the subwoofer as...

    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    When the battery flakes out due to end of life span or similar things, most high end players like the DP-X1 don't look easy to disassemble. You might wind up taking it to the relevant service centre for a battery replacement, only to get charged a not-small-amount for service-out-of-warranty...

    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    Something got it stuck in a boot loop, it might be a software or a hardware issue, besides the battery being a little flaky. I'm not entirely confident in SONY players going forward, and it doesn't help that their Hi-Res credentials are questionable. Most DAPs, especially of this tier, all seem...

    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    Users of this DP-X1, have there been any reliability issues with it? What about its battery life? Since my NWZ-ZX1 is down for the count, the DP-X1 is a consideration, but I'm hoping its battery is designed to last more than 500 cycles... edit: I notice in the RMAA link on the first page that...

    Sony NWZ-F806 mini review (& F-series player reviews / impressions / discussion)

    Yeah, my issue is similar to yours - the Walkman lasts a long time in standby or playback without active use of the screen, and in fact it was also affecting my ZX1, though to a lesser extent. But, since my ZX1 has somehow gotten stuck in a boot loop and the F806 stopped charging altogether, I...

    Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model

    My ZX1 is stuck in a boot-loop, I can't even get it into recovery mode. It was perfectly fine yesterday.. I'm not sure what's caused it, but it seems it discharged overnight for no apparent reason as well. After plugging it in to power it's now just getting really hot while trying to start up...

    Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model

    I'm having battery issues with my ZX1. The indicator doesn't seem to match with the actual battery level and it's shutting down due to critical battery before it reaches 0%.

    Sony NWZ-F806 mini review (& F-series player reviews / impressions / discussion)

    Is anyone else having battery issues with their F800 series? Mine is shutting down even when there's apparently 80% in the battery.
