Seems yes, I just updated a link in the post above.

I can even control my Hiby Music App using my M1 Mac mini. The iPhone app support emulation on M1 Macs allows this to work.

Pretty sure you can. I used to control my Shanling DAP from my phone.
VanNuys carrying case for Cayin C9 + DAP is available now in Japan. The price is about US$110.
They don't ship overseas directly, but you can get it via forwarding service such as tenso.com or tensojapan.com.

A quick explanation of HiByLink.
HiByLink is a resource sharing duplex bluetooth codec developed by HiBy Music, it is far more sophisticated than a phone-based remote control. Regular Bluetooth control app allow you to issue commands such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next from mobile to DAP, at this point the connection is simplex: from mobile to DAP. The HiByLink is far more sophisticated. Once connected, your music resources on DAP will be shared with the HiByMusic App by allowing the App to read the file headers and metadata of the DAP local storage. The App on your mobile phone will manipulated the content, and control the DAP operation such as sorting, synchronise album art and playback progress bar, creating playlist, ... . It can even offer user operations that are not originally available on your DAP because you are using the HiBy Music App on your mobile phone to playback the resource on your DAP.
The feature is embedded inside HiBy Music Player, so to use this feature, you need to install HiBy Music App in your mobile phone, and your DAPs are compatible to HiBy Music application. All HiBy and Cayin DAPs are HiByLink ready, there are other DAP also compatible with HiByLink but I'll leave you to find out.
HiByLink is available on both Android and iOS based HiBy Music App, but he Android implementation is smoother than the iOS options.

Thanks for the additional shipping info. Since you're from Japan, would be good to know if you recommend one service in particular?
In time, all the Van Nuys stuff tends to appear on Ebay by official outlets, but that tends to take a little time and we all know that audiophiles are not the strongest in terms of being patient.
Not a big fan of the "boring black camera case aesthetic" but seems robust in any case 
Guess I'll be looking for something a bit more fitting to my style/preference but then it's of course bit of a getting-lucky-with-measurements game 
Then again, not even sure how much I'll be carrying it around as a true portable but plenty of years to find out hopefully...

It's 3.5mm LO but still a bit intrigued since it has a new version (DTR1+) coming out soon (?).
Oh, I missed it...Deja Vu

I just found it listed on Amazon.co.jp. Have you checked if it will be shipped overseas?

Unfortunately, I have no experience in forwarding services from Japan to overseas.
I mentioned tenso.com and tensojapan.com because they were introduced as reference on VanNuys website.

I've had a lot of good experiences with Amazon Japan, but alas, Van Nuys don't deliver to Europe via Amazon Japan. A shame because it's otherwise so convenient.Oh, I missed it...

I have 3 of this remote (One for office, One in my bag, One in my room) .. It's a pure Bluetooth Remote and I can use them with a Sony WM1A, R6pro, M15, Kann Alpha and galaxy Z Fold2 ... no issue at all.
Clearly the best remote control for any BT DAPs on the way (I haven't seen so tiny BT remote anywhere).

A02 users - is there a difference between LO and PO when paired with the C9? I just A/B'd myself and couldn't hear any notable difference, so just wondering when PO comes in handy.
