I received it 3days ago, and this a great DAP with a very great sound at this price!
But, there is breath in the dsd files!!!
I hope this problem will be fixed with the newt FW!!!
Please Hidizs!!!!
Thanks to you too, should help before to decide how to format the SDcard.added this info to FAQ. Thank you
Thanks for your input, updated the SDcard-format post. Also kept the info about noisy DSD!okinear is compiling a bug and improvement list and the DSD hiss is noted with other problems and suggestions for future firmware updates.
Hopefully Hidizs takes note. I don’t even know if they’re reading this thread anymore.

where is our issue list? i would add it to the first post as wellThanks for your input, updated the SDcard-format post. Also kept the info about noisy DSD!
Will keep the info/updates in the same post toowhere is our issue list? i would add it to the first post as well
Yeah, same as on the AP80, as I mentioned two pages ago. It's definitely an issue on all devices which uses the touch-based Hiby OS.The R3 scrolls long texts/titles on the lock screen and when it opens any of those selection windows for options, but not on the main menu texts.
Yeah, the last time @kenloveme made an appearance here was Saturday last week. And oh, I think it's not just Hidizs who should take note, but also the developers of the Hiby OS, as some of the issues the AP80 have (especially the ticker text scrolling display) are also present in other touch-based Hiby OS devices such as Hiby R3.Hopefully Hidizs takes note. I don’t even know if they’re reading this thread anymore.
Yes, thanks for caring! Got it a couple of days ago, but no real opportunity to play with it yet. The SDcard is still in its blister pack, and did not figure out how to set date&time so far Too big fingers or not enough open-minded!Anyway, since we're talking about suggestions for firmware tweaks in here, for the lock screen, instead of filename, I think it's better if it displays the artist and the title of the song instead. Since @okinear seems to be the one who volunteered to compile all issues/recommendations, I think you should take note of this, too. BTW, did you already have your unit delivered?
Tried to gather what are/could be firmware issues, from what has been posted here...
Issues with the AP80s delivered so far (FW1.0):
1. When using Hiby Link feature of the HibyMusic Android app, the album art doesn't show up. It works for others.
2. The system sometimes crashes, then restarts (once a day). Does not happen for all users.
3. Typos (like: Vorbis is spelled as "VOROIS").
4. No scrolling when the information is too long.
5. LDAC implementation still missing. Waiting for LDAC implementation in the update.
6. Bluetooth pairing issues (need to repeat). No problem for others.
7. DSD playback, serious issue for several users (noise, hiss, same file is played fine in other players). Not for all users.
8. Streaming audio to the AP80 from a smartphone: default is SBC, even if the smartphone should support AptX/LDAC. No override even if Developer Options are open. Waiting for LDAC implementation in the update.
9. Pedometer can be very unreliable (one step counted as 5). As discussed since sample release.
10. Podcasts/audiobooks support still missing. Waiting for podcast/audiobook implementations in the update.
11. 'Resume' not resuming as expected after AP80 is switched ON (need to start the player (tap icon) and press 'play' to resume playback).
12. FM issue (bad/no reception). No problem for others, good reception. Seems to depend on the "configuration, location, signal strength, etc..."
13. Battery seems to be draining unusually fast. Need a better battery optimization in the next firmware. Time will tell.
Feel free to add/comment
Should become more precise with more users/comments.
As explained already and pointed out again by @IryxBRO: HiByOS is not developed by Hidizs.
Some 'bugs' would also affect other players running this OS, issues should be addresssed to the Hidizs team who should forward them to HibyOS developers.
The AP80 player is a good player bringing a quality/nice sound as stated in independant reviews (check 1st post/1st page) and comments.
Other important missing item: AP80 detailed user manual. Looking forward to seeing links on Hidizs' site for manual and firmware updates.
