It worsened but stanby time has always been VERY underwhelming.
My HiBy RS8 can be in standby -ready to go- for TWO WEEKS

I don't have an SP3000 but an SR35. I've found to keep the battery from draining I turn off both my wifi and my bluetooth every time I turn it off.

When you say standby, do you mean you just put the player into sleep and don't turn it off, or you turn it off and still see battery drain?

Sleep
Do you have Roon Ready turned on? If so, any Roon Ready device polls the network at set intervals to alert Roon Core that there is a Roon Ready device available and waiting for playback.

I don’t see much drain when my SP3K idles usually but I haven’t checked with the latest FW, yet.
Is it possible that it drains more when a headphone is plugged in while idle?

What is your take on the SP3000 and your experience with the NE30? Will you keep both, do you have different use cases?

Everything turned off mate. Still the battery drains at 8-10% per hour in standby
With EVERYTHING ON my rs8 lasts for a couple of weeks in standby
Both are DAPs that I love . The N30LE has the advantage of having tube amplification (Classic and modern) which for me is a must.
The N30LE I only use it at home, often also with my Amp Aroma A100TB (incredible synergy with the N30LE in Classic tube mode), while the SP3000 I use it when I'm out
There's an issue with the latest Roon Arc APK update. The login page continously loads to no avail
