Thanks! Will do my best. BTW, I didn't perform any upgrade, Oreo or Twinkies...If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Thanks for replying Joe. I was at the end of my wits, trying to get Google Play to work. Now it's all clear. No, I sent you an R6 that I'd purchased in the USA, an international edition. Unfortunately, I received back a Chinese edition. Please advise how to rectify the situation.

Help! Can't open Google Play. I got my R6 back from repair, blank slate. I've upgraded to Android 8.1.0. Used CoolApk to download Google Play. Every attempt to open it is answered with "Google Play Store has stopped." Open App again gets me nowhere. Also, that CookApk interface is in Chinese...

Rebalance? Testifying that your old specimen works fine does no favor to anyone but Nativ. The new production is taped up and will likely come apart with time, especially in hot climates. People should be aware of it. I wish someone had warned me before i bought into their Chines shenanigans.

So what are suggesting, that consumers ignore my much more recent experience--that took place after Nativ had switched outsourcing--and rely on yours,, which is 2 years old and lacks any actual knowledge or photos of the internals? With all due respect, I'm trying to helpful to others, whereas...

I'm glad your experience has been on the positive side. Yes, they replaced contractors and mine came fresh off the new contractor. As usual in business, it's a safe to assume the change was a cost saving measure and poor build quality was not late to follow. The customer service was...

Brother...It's typical Chinese junk: looks good on the outside, but dig a bit in, and it’s all crappola… Chinese never think about their customers or long-terms. If they can fool you once, that’s good enough for them. It’s all short term and greed. HiBy was my last “made in China.”

I like the product a lot; it could've been perfect for me. Alas, like so many other companies, Bel Canto makes the cardinal mistake of creating a close environment. What if I want stream Spotify or Deezer or SoundCloud? Worse still, their phone app runs run only on iOS. Amazingly enough...

I successfully play off the USB port into my Mutec MC3+USB (USB-C/USB-B cable) If I recall correctly, I just connect the cable and play. Nothing more to it (my R6 is in repairs, so it's from the top of my head). If I'm wrong, then there's a USB popup menue to choose from. The SQ off the coax...

Is the Android resampling / DTA solution applicable when the output is digital? Internally, as far as I know, the data stream is processed by a USB/SPIDF chip, clock information is slapped on, and off the port the it goes.

Here's another strike against HiBy R6, at least as a digital transport: The pinout on the coax port is reversed. that is, the signal/data is carried by the shield and the ground is connected to the core. A bizarre analomy. The implication is a cable that is prone to picking up interferences...

Fair enough and not encouraging to learn. I use SoundCloud with stellar results

Audio streaming is the number 1 format of music consumption. Here's an industry qoute: "Interactive streaming music services — Spotify, Apple Music, Napster, Deezer, Tidal, etc. — now account for the majority of recorded music industry revenue and are growing at better than 50% per year. We’re...

I use the R6 strictly as a transport and don't see any reason to climb up to the Pro, with the exception of the Gorilla glass. I do agree with others: there's no room in the marketplace for the two editions, given the narrow price difference. In likelihood, the R6 will be squeezed out.

Sending my R6 to Hiby after a 1 meter drop to a hardwood floor shuttered the back glass and incapacitated the power button.. Why producing a vulnerable day-to-date product is a mystery to me. A classic "form over function" scenario.

Miter case is a pile of steaming sh$t. I some times wonder if those Chinese manufacturers have a clandestine race to the bottom award.

Dropped it, cracked the back, power button out of commission....How do I repair it? Contact HiBy? Anyone has sent it back to China? Thanks...

An idea worth trying. Thank!

I wonder if anyone has a solution: Setup: USB permanently charges R6 Coax plays into Mutec MC3+ USB My issue: Everytime I turned on an appliance on the same power line, the spdif signal drops. Only after a long moment of silence, during which the signal is re-locked, the sound returns...

Can that S.M.L.S stream off SoundCloud?

They offered a replacement, vowing their typical standards were much higher (I suppose ISO9001). But how could I trust the replacement wouldn’t be a coarse tape-work too? So I asked for photos of the internals. Their reply: only if I committed to accept a replacement. My cynical...

My requirements from a new music server were access to SoundCloud, local storage, low jitter output and remote operation. The moment I grab my freshly delivered Vita, I was excited. By the rattling hard drive compartment and the misaligned LCD display I knew was in for a great adventure. And I...

Merely stating my opinion which last I heard I’m entitled to. Rob Watts has identified problems in the redbook coding and is improving the redbook standard decoding with Dave as I hear it any way showing there is room for improvement in today’s digital vs. vintage digital. Non sequitur...

What’s does people perception of Redbook have to do with digital cables? And what does Rob Watts have to do with digital cables? You’re really all over the place… This statement: Digital cables are not all equal . There are all kinds of impedences and ohm requirements At first, I thought...

Send them back for adjustment. I did, with great results.
