    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I got bluetooth streaming to work from my iPhone to the R3. I needed to turn Hiby Link OFF on the R3. After that, streaming works great!

    ` Let me guess, you're on Android? On my iPhone, I cannot get it to work. I don't think the iPhone sees the Hiby bluetooth connection as an audio output. I can control playback in the R3 from my iPhone but not stream to it.

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    On my Andromedas, I usually listen at volume < 40. On my Elex, it needs > 70 on the same tracks. I've had it happen once switching from the Elex to the Andromedas with the volume still at > 70. Luckily, pausing playback immediately was easy so my ears are still intact :). The fact that it...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I want to add comments on my experience with the R3. I've been listening to it with both a CA Andromeda and the Massdrop Focal Elex using the SE output. I've put in about 1 hour with the Elex and maybe 10hrs with the Andromeda. That's about the total time on the R3 so it may not be fully...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    @Joe Bloggs I know the reputation of Hiby software in the DAP world so I truly hope you guys survive this drama. People can be very forgiving if their expectations are set properly and given proper communication. If I can provide my own humble opinions on how to handle this next time, I would...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    It’s as I speculated. Shipping “info” was received but not physical package. I’ve stopped worrying about it. It’s both Hiby’s and custom’s fault. I’ve resigned myself to waiting till August. I’m not going to participate in another Hiby campaign again, but I’m also not going to stay...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Hmm... Seems the opinions of the sound quality from this device varies quite a bit. Perhaps pairing mismatch? Anyone tried this dap with an Andromeda or other non-Vega Campfire IEM? The R3 will be my first DAP since the iPod era. I've been using a Mojo and Dragonfly Red with my iPhone for...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Really good to hear this. I'm looking for autonomy for my Andromeda and Focal. Right now, for me to listen to my headphones to the fullest, I need to be tethered to my desk and desktop amp. Look forward to receiving it, but the quality of the amp in this dap doesn't excuse Hiby's shipping...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Reading all these comments and those on the Kickstarter page makes me highly suspicious about said shipping agency and DHL tracking numbers. Either DHL is this horrific or there is a smokescreen being put up. I hate to speculate, but it’s strange for a shipping company to take so long to show...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I’m in the same boat. They probably didn’t have enough cables so they held our orders up just like they did for the case. Had I known, I would not have added the cable since I can easily get one next day delivery from Amazon. Just really bad planning and...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I may NEVER buy another Hiby product again. I missed the early bird by 1 day because the email arrived in my spam folder. Yeah, so basically, I've been a backer since day 2. I was on the email campaign for weeks before the campaign to get notified of the early bird. I've been able to stay...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Wait a minute here, I just realized my previous reply was to a backer with #11** as in > 1000. When i see posts like this, I can't help but to bubble over in anger. #833 and haven't received any email since the "your wish is our command" email. If these guys hadn't lied about shipping out in...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Hmm... So, they're supposedly shipping these out in numeric order. Obviously, they are not, so it makes me wonder what was their criteria for the shipping order. Sigh, I don't expect to receive mine till August. These kickstarter and indiegogo campaigns take so long to actually receive the...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    The problem here is not that backers are spoiled and want their product NOW. The problem is that at first, they said May. Then May came and went, and they said nothing. Then they said they would go ahead and ship it before the case, and they gave a date, which really raised people's...

    Hey, for those who received their units already, what kind of battery life are you guys getting when not using BT? btw, backer #833 and no update yet. I will patiently wait till end of Tomorrow on West Coast of US (Wed in China) for an update before I get antsy.
