I've used adapter like this to hold a small DAC Dongle to my phone...

Agree, I do think that some (Maybe a lot) or higher res recordings are actually Better Actual Records and Get Better Studio Processing Quality; Which can also 16/44.1 sound better. But a lot of CD's were made from poor Recording Quality Tapes, and Poor Studio Editing. So Higher Res often do...

I Remember MEIZU, a Chinese MP3 Company went from making MP3 Players, to making Phones. So Moondrop will not be the first to try this. Looks Meizu still makes phones, but don't see a 3.5MM Jack in photos or specs. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806094713180.html I Also remember that 5+...

My 16/44.1 FLAC music files are lossless, and they range from 700 to 900kbps. WAV @ 16/44.1 would need more bits, because it includes bits when nothing is there, where FLAC is Lossless, but removes any unnecessary data. So, 16/44.1 FLAC files should be easily able to be sent LOSSLESS with...

Hmm, The link and lower price do show up for me. Maybe regional? I am un USA.

These may be great IEMS, I have not heard them, But for some reason instead of seeing "CRA PRO" I keep seeing "CRAPO"... LOL

Tidal was designed for the Android based devices. As the Hiby is not Android it is LINUX based; So a custom interface is needed; and that interface does not allow all TIDAL Functions. Believe this is a Tidal Limitation for non-android devices. (This is all that tidal licensed to Hiby for LINUX...

Sorry, did you explain somewhere what happened to your 5K? What is it doing or not doing... Did this happen after a firmware upgrade or something? Or ??? - Difficult to offer advise without knowing anything but your request to g back to v2.x.x firmware. I looked for any previous messages...

Hope your new W4 solves your problems! However, If your jack is slightly (not visibly) corroded, it can reduce contact quality and put extra stress on both the male and female connectors. Caig Deoxit G5 Gold, is one of the best products to remove minor oxidation, and provide a conductive...

The screen is 4.7 inch diagonal, so size of the entire unit can be estimated... That is the only dimension I have seen. Those colorful "bumps" look to add some thickness; But unsure if that bump is needed for some internal components, or just for looks.

If you remove your microSD card, Then do the Factory Reset, then there will be no change in the MicroSD card, And the music files stored there. Any Music on Internal memory might (or might not) be affected by a factory reset. After the reset, re-insert the microsd card. Another...

Sorry if you've already checked this, but Wonder if your Sandisk Extreme Pro 1tb could be a fake? It might "appear" to be good and show the file structure in windows, but not on other operating systems because it was only set up to appear real on windows? Can you actually play files from that...

Agree. Sometimes even a single "font, character, or symbol" in the file tag can result in a scanning error. Can't explain why some Apps will scan and others will not. Maybe some APPs have a larger "library" of characters that they recognize and sort by?

These are some Specs for the R4 that just released in China Today. FYI only... Know it should be in it's own thread... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-hiby-r4.972253/ Main Specifications of HiBy “R4” ES9018C2M × 4 DAC Matrix (Quad DAC) Dual Low Pass Filter Independent Audio Clock...

FYI: The Newest HIBY DAP, the R4 is being released in Shanghai, China on the 30th. Have only see the pictures, and no other info yet.

Is there a history of 4.4mm jack failures on the RU7 with others? Aside from your experience, This is the first I've heard of it. Just wondering how extensive a problem this is.

Not an XLR expert, but a quick search found these on ebay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/175486014132 And this https://www.ebay.com/itm/276358419200. I would guess that one of these might work?

Just my preference but I like the "old fashioned/(Analog)" volume wheels that continuously increase or decrease the sound; Like on my IFI Black Label iDSD. They let you quickly and precisely select the volume level. I don't like the digital wheels that only move in clicks; Because it seems...

I guess we should ask all reviewers to provide their age, and/or a recent hearing test? LOL

Agree. Plus, The trend to Streaming Audio from the Internet, has changed the DAP to "have" to be a Streaming Device; (Since more people today listen to streaming music than their own music files.) - And Once the DAP is internet connected, people want the ability to add your own apps; - And...

Unsure if needed, but there seem to be some windows drivers on the L&P website. These are mentioned on the firmware download page... https://pan.baidu.com/share/init?surl=PdiEh0yywrChHwXtiSKy1w&pwd=z347 L&P Firmware download page = http://www.luxuryprecision.net/xiazai/ In Google Chrome...

Maybe try a different cable, or a different USB port on yiur computer? Just a thought...

Try using the lowest power USB Port on your PC, or the Lowest power charger that you have. Connect and see if it starts charging after 15 min to an hour. Once you see visible charging, you can move to a faster charger. Sometimes protection circuits prevent a charge from starting when battery...

I don't have a W4, but on the device itself you are supposed to be able to check your firmware version. Quoting "Check the current firmware version number: After entering the UAC version menu, long press to display the current firmware version number." Unsure if it needs Windows drivers...
