iFi audio GO pod + IEMs = brilliant wireless sound on the GO!
Does anyone know what the latest firmware version is? My app says I'm on 1.52 and says "please go to settings to update the device". When I go to settings there is no update available. I see references to 1.54 in this thread but looks like that update may have been rescinded? Is there a 1.53?- Qualitas

Thanks guys. That seems to be exactly it. Below is the conversation earlier in the thread that explains it, for anyone curious. Regarding pairing with the Atrium, this is based on impressions from the show floor (so take them with a grain), but I spent quite a bit of time at CanJam NYC...- Qualitas

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
Does anyone else's Mojo2 get warm when fully charged and switched off, but connected to power in "Intelligent Desktop Mode"? I'm a bit surprised, as I understood that the battery would be fully bypassed in this scenario. I'm not sure what else could be generating heat if not the battery.- Qualitas

I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean by "Direct Out" exactly? Is that a specific configuration/setting, or do you just mean using the default state in windows when connecting a DAC via USB? If the latter, this is precisely why I am asking. When simply plugging in via USB and using...- Qualitas

Perhaps a dumb question, and one that I'm sure was already addressed *somewhere* in this 500 page thread: when using mojo2 with a laptop via USB, is there any way to enable usage of the OS's system-wide volume control?- Qualitas

HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768
So I decided NOT to format as internal. I had read that the unit may factory reset if you for some reason remove the card, so I figured this was the safer route. Is anyone else using streaming apps, with songs offlined to a SD card? I can’t be the only one…? I am running into major issues: the...- Qualitas

There is no volume control in the swipe down control panel/tray at the top unfortunately. Just a slider for brightness. Is anyone using the clear case that comes in the box? Maybe I just have fat fingers, but for me it's next to impossible adjust the volume wheel with this case on. Really the...- Qualitas

Mine arrived today, and I have the first (of potentially many) stupid question. Since this is a software volume control, is there no way to adjust volume solely within the OS? (I.e. without first nudging the volume knob). Also, I’ve got a pair of 6xx’s on order, and I’m heartened by the above...- Qualitas

Oh I see. I misunderstood, I thought you were saying you ordered the standard brown case but what showed up was similar/same as the $66 one. But I agree with you guys that stretching for the $66 one, or coming around to the green aesthetic is the better option. Thanks again y’all.- Qualitas

Fantastic. Thank you both. But man, their case pricing is all over the map. $15 for green, $30 for brown, $66 for the "New R6" brown one with the flap. Does yours look like the one they have on the site here, but with button cut outs...- Qualitas

Anyone have the brown leather case that’s on Hiby’s site? I prefer the color to the green, but it looks like it doesn’t have button cutouts like the green one. I’m wondering whether that makes it nearly impossible to press the buttons, like on my R5ii’s case.- Qualitas

Does using a dongle DAC bypass the volume cap AND the volume warning, as well as the bass issue? (Sorry if already answered somewhere in this thread.

Ah, that is a very good point. I'd never thought to use Arc on a DAP in this manner, but I think I might just start. I tend to use the standalone Qobuz and Tidal apps on my DAP, as that lets me offline music (which is not allowed in Arc) and I am mostly using my DAP in situations without...- Qualitas

New Sony Walkman NW-A300 Series (Android 12)
I was just about to ask the same question. Particularly since some higher end DAP's can output serious power--we're talking in excess of 1W into 32Ω, which is 10-15x what the A306 can output. The only thing I can think of is that Sony is mostly known as a consumer products company, and many of...- Qualitas

Interesting question. My understanding is that yes, any app that is design to run bit perfect (like Roon Arc) will run bit perfect on any current gen Hiby player. This is because they all bypass Android's system-wide resampling. Someone else will correct me if I'm off base. I'm curious to...- Qualitas
