    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    I would like to know this answer. I just signed up with Amazon Music and the buttons not working is a deal breaker. If this is not going to get fixed anytime soon, I may have to return the player. - Garrett

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    A couple of questions: 1. When charging the unit, does the battery icon that animates through the levels of the battery stay on throughout the charging process even when charged, or is it supposed to show a full charge icon of some sort? When plugging the unit it to charge, it only shows the...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    Has anyone had to deal with MusicTek for support? I purchased my player from Amazon which MusicTek was the seller. My unit is exhibiting display flickering and display corruption. I noticed they do not have any in stock on Amazon right now for a replacement. The unit is brand new. I wanted to...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    Anyone notice that pausing say Google Music when the screen off works without issue, but when to go to play / unpause while the screen is off, it does not register? I have to press the power button in order for it to start playing / activate. Is this normal? - Garrett

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    I’m strictly on 5Ghz and really haven’t noticed any issues. It does take a bit longer to connect to the network, but it works. Now I’ve had a few hiccups with streaming Amazon music, but not sure if that’s app related or network. - Garrett

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    Just updated to the latest firmware. I noticed from last night after charging the unit to 100% that I lost 12% battery over night when not in use. As I was grabbing it from my home office to update the firmware, i noticed that the led light was solid blue. Upon turning it on, it showed battery...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    Just wanted to post an update. I ended up doing a factory reset. Before I logged into my google account, I made sure that the permissions were all on for Google Play Services and Google Play Store. I then proceeded to download the few apps I had one at a time and tested to make sure that the...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    That was the first thing I did. I had several firmware updates and now on the current version. I am performing a factory reset to see if that will correct my issue. Will post back shortly with my findings. - Garrett

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    I just picked up the Hiby R5 and I am experiencing the battery drain issues that was reported in the past. I granted all permissions for Google Play Services and Google Play Store. I also cleared the App Data for both apps as the first step did not work. Both these steps have not corrected the...

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    Those of you with a Jotunheim and LCD-2, at what volume position do you have your Jotunheim set at for both SE and Balanced? I have the Jot set at low gain and with SE, I have to have the volume set to around 11-12 o'clock position to be at a reasonable volume. When using balanced, it is around...

    Brainwavz HM5 Pads (Different Colours / Velour / Leather)

    I took advantage of the coupon code and got an email a day later that the pads were not in stock. I ordered the pleather black angled pads. I then asked if they had the sheepskin angled pads in stock and was also told that they were not and they canceled my order.

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Anyone started to look into changing out the ear pads? Something that is thicker and more comfortable. My only complaint about the M560 is that after a few hours of wearing them, the area around my ears start to get sore. The thicker pads may also help with getting a better seal / more clamping...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    @caenlenfromOCN If you take the headphones and pull the ear pieces opposite of each other like a bow, it should tighten them up. I had to do this a few times to get a better clamp while on the head. Still not as tight as I would like them but better then before. I am pretty impressed with the...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I got a few emails over the course of the week about the warranty. As first I thought there was an update on my order to find out that they were offering extended warranty for an item I do not have.   On another note, I took delivery of the 560 and will be burning them in to see how they...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    My order is still stuck in pending as well. I have a feeling the will probably cancel the order soon. On another note, I am trying to figure out what to do. I want to get into owning a set of planar headphones. My dilemma is do I order say a pair of the M560 and M1060 to give them a try or do I...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Well that was too good to be true! I got an email saying the item is out of stock and they refunded my money! Looks like I may pick up the M560 to see what they are about and hold me until the M1060 come in stock.   - Garrett

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I noticed that too. I do not mind paying the $10 more in price than on their site if they come early. It would be well worth it if they sound good as well.

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    It looks like Monoprice on ebay has the M1060 again. I just picked up a pair to try. These will be my first planar headphones. I hope they sound good. I'll be comparing them to my HD650 and my AKG K7XX. I am also looking at the M560, but hope the M1060 does not disappoint.

    Which DAC would you get from the following list??

    I need to get a DAC for my home office setup. Right now the DAC will be used with my tripath amp and Energy RC-10 speakers. I will add a nice pair of over the ear headphones in the near future. The headphone amp if included in the DAC is not important as I will be getting a tube amp (Little Dot...

    Westone UM3X Thread

    They sounded pretty good. The bass was nice and tight. These were my first pair of IEM's. So I have nothing to compare. The one thing I did not like was the comfort. I could only wear them for an hour or so before my ears would become a little sore or I had to reseal them into my ear. I am...
