Yes I had tried that first. Actually tried it on my husbands PC before that because he was going to give me an album. I hate taking the cards out of any of my players... usually manage to break a fingernail or send the card flying across the room. Plus you have to take the case off (which on my Opus is a very tight fit). Of course I would take the card out if I was going to do a lot of transferring but for one album? I should be able to just plug it in. Earlier in this thread it did say we needed drivers from the Cayin site.
It isn't the easiest of micro sd slots to use, I must admit. My old Sansa Clip+ is much easier in that respect as you don't need to use a nail to push the card in. I'm fairly sure I didn't install any drivers but I don't really know what to suggest: the supplied cable should work.
'm afraid you probably do. It's been covered to death unfortunately - stock cable sucks (for many). Mine works on and off so I gave up and bought decent cables off Amazon.
Yes as I said in my original post I tried both. I tried every combination of things that I could think of short of unplugging all my usb drives. I am usually a pretty good troubleshooter after years of helping people for free with their computers and audio setups. Very frustrating to fail.
I do have a question about your custom firmware. Are the fonts larger and/or more readable? I am interested regardless.
I agree with you and voiced this same thing maybe 20 pages back or so in this thread when I was having the exact same issue. Cayin never responded about the cheap cable they provide when I brought it up so I ended up buying a new one in order to be able to do file transfers without removing the case and the card. I ended up buying an Anker cable from Amazon and the problem went away. Hope you find a solution.

Seemed like a nice enough cable when I was just charging with it. I have never had a C connector cable before. My husband has a couple but he has them with him and will not be back til Monday! Grrr. I will need my own but I am annoyed. I know there is a C adaptor here somewhere but I have searched and searched. I thought maybe that would work with one of my better normal USB cables. Amazon could have delivered one to me by now with all the time I have spent.
I do not know why Cayin has not addressed this. Perhaps they are providing better ones now and mine is older stock. Except how much older could it be....

It will improve the sound quality to use the cayin c5 with the N3? would I gain something if I get the C5?
I have the beyer Amiron and its 250ohm, bt is highly efficient so it sounds ok even in my iphone... so I dont think I need an amp for more power... but I am asking myself if an amp, like the C5, will improve the sound quality in some way comparing to using the N3 alone
Can someone tell me the reason that this Anker cable might work for the PC to recognize the N3 as a storage device where the stock does not? What do they mean by pull up resister? Is it just that the device will not pull more than it needs from a charger? Probably will just continue to use the stock cable for charging.

I actually have never tried my Amirons unamped. I have just used them with my tube amp at home. You might want to ask people in the Amiron thread about what benefits they have experienced from using amps (portable or desktop) with the Amiron. If you buy the c5 and you do not feel that you are receiving any benefit, can you easily return it?
I have only had the N3 for two weeks and have so far only tried it with low impedance efficient headphones and iems.
I know, very frustrating, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It's also my first c-device and (Cayin cable aside) I think every device from now on should just standardize on USB-C, no exceptions (iPhone included!).
I probably could have messed with the font size but honestly found it ok for me. Maybe if Cayin gives us a few tools that make it easier to customize the interface I'll try it out in a future version, but I think there are some copyright issues with HiBy that prevent this from happening. In any case I think the custom is slicker, faster and if nothing else some of the poor English phrasing is fixed. It's easy and free to try it and you can always flash back to stock firmware if you don't like it

I totally agree with that. So much easier to not worry which way to turn it. The lightning connector is convenient in that way also, but it is less robust. Last week I tripped over the cable while my Ipad was charging and the connector broke right off the tablet leaving the connector inside. Luckily it was sticking out... all I had to do was pinch it with my fingers and pull it out. Amazon had a new cable to me the next day. Hopefully my next android tablet will have a C connector.. and that more daps will be doing it as well.
Well one of my FiiO's is gone. Someone hit the buy it now option for my X5II. Already order another N3 to replace it. X1II has some bids on it's first day on ebay, so it won't be much longer till that things is gone too.
I know their website says the N3 Hibylink doesnt work on iOS yet but was wondering how old that information is. I just got the new version of Hiby Music on my iPhone and have been using it for a few days. (It wouldn't work without crashing until I updated to the newest version of iOS.) Has anyone had any luck with Hibylink using an iPhone yet? I'm waiting to hear about compatibility before I buy an N3.

I'm with you on that. I know it's coming, but they won't tell us when. Wonder if they're having technical issues getting it to work - Apple has a much stricter review policy than Android and generally won't allow broken apps on the App Store. Just speculating of course, but that the only reason I can think of for the delay. Either that or HiBy don't consider iOS an important market for them.
On a related note, the latest version of Audirvana+ (3.1) supports bitperfect wireless steaming via upnp, which hopefully means HiBy Music will support it. Exciting times ahead with flac support touted for iOS 11 as well.

I really think it depends on preference. The C5 will give you a huge bass boost but I think the sound is a lot cleaner without. I use my C5 if I'm listening to something heavier and without it otherwise.
