1.4 Bluetooth is broken
On the contrary. My AirPods Pro 2 work seamlessly since the upgrade to 1.4

I'm running 1.3 and have no problems with eq.Any news about next firmware? 1.3 eq is broken and no audio books, 1.4 Bluetooth is broken.. Plz do something...
Dear HiBY. A stopwatch function would be a definitely dealmaker for me. How about that? 



I tryed. Reinstalled 1.3 and 1.4 few times. All the same. About eq: it works but when I turn it on resolution getting lower ( empty eq but turned on).Try a hard reset.
When I connect my ldac devices on 1.4 there in no sound.
I have hope a rockbox port will come out sooner or later. i saw someone started working on it in their forum.
Somewhat curious how Rockbox could make the R1 any better. In the case of, say, the Fiio m3k, it made the UI usable, responsive and playback snappier. Everything is already fairly fluid as-is, and other features are always "in beta" and fairly broken on these smaller ports. That said, I'd love to follow that development.I have hope a rockbox port will come out sooner or later. i saw someone started working on it in their forum.

Rockbox is looking a bit out of date now. There’s no Bluetooth and it seems unlikely there ever will be for example. I’ve done my own GUI for a fully touch sensitive DAP running Rockbox and the lack of features you can use is very frustrating. There’s no ability to “swipe” across to another screen for example. I think a modern DAP like the R1 wouldn’t benefit much from Rockbox particularly as it already has the MSEB and an equaliser.
I agree that the Fiio M3K did improve with Rockbox but that is basically a button based GUI with just the awkwardly designed centre swipe area.
Too bad. I can only attest to the M300's Bluetooth which I've used steadily for 10 months. Mine is highly reliable using Soundcore Q35 headphones and A40 earphones, as well as a Bose Revolve II speaker which I use almost daily. I always use LDAC reliably with the Soundcores. I play my own digital collection about 80 percent of the time, and I stream Amazon Music using Wi-Fi the other 20% or so. My HiBy R3 Pro Saber has been as reliable with my own files for 3 years, though I use that one mostly in wired mode. I expected this Bluetooth reliability and certainly would have returned any or all of the devices otherwise.I'm sick to death of the Bluetooth audio dropouts when using my R1 or my M300 with my Jabra Elite Active 4 earbuds or my Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2. Crazy how unreliable it is when my iPod Nano from well over a decade ago has perfect stability with both those devices.
Anyone got recommendations for a small, inexpensive Bluetooth dongle I can plug into the USB C on both of these players and transmit a stable Bluetooth signal out? Preferably one with as high resolution Codec as possible.
I'm thinking of trying one of these:
Really shouldn't have to add one, when both players have Bluetooth built on, but I really see no other option.
All suggestions gratefully received!
I've never owned or used a dongle because I use DAPs --currently 2 HiBy DAPs. Good luck with your DAPs and earbuds.
To me it is: Parametric EQ, Last FM support, updating the library does not block the whole OS, add to queue to make playlist of the fly, UI customization… I don’t really use the Bluetooth and wifi features on the R1 so rockbox would be a net positive to meSomewhat curious how Rockbox could make the R1 any better.
