Looks like the only available cases are these nowadays:

I have some spare plastic clips like that. PM me if you're interested

Many thanks. Might take you up on this offer if I get the player. I am trying to decide which small-ish player to go for. Ideally I would like something a bit more powerful than Shanling M0 or Fiio M5 with better battery life but still small enough to take it for an occasional workout/run. And it looks like R3 Pro ticks most of the boxes apart from the clip case but those cases you linked to might actually be good enough to glue a clip to them providing they are plastic.

Did you get a plastic case with yours?

i have one, if you pay for postage

Thanks bud. I am not sure as I haven't got one yet. And just noticed you are from UK as well so it would be quite easy to arrange the shipping. Sweet.

Do you know how long it takes to get the player shipped to EU/UK?

pretty sure you should get a clear plastic case with it.
I got mine direct during the pre order. Took under 10 days to arrive.

Great. I thought that was an extra accessory. 10 days sounds quite quick actually. Do you remember what courier company they used? Did you have to pay VAT and customs fees?

Also, did you notice any connectivity issues? I've read there have been some bt problems and was wondering if that was something serious or maybe even fixed with the FW updates.

Customs was fine for me. Couldn’t tell you which courier was used.

I have issues with my laptop. It was awful at first, but that was due to driver issues in windows. After update it was passable but there is next to no range. This is with SBC.

Totally different story with my phone. I can walk around my apartment no problems!

Just a quick check. According to the specification the player doesn't support aptX ll (Low Latency) codec at the moment. Is it something that could be implemented in the future FW updates or is the chip not compatible with the codec altogether?

And a couple more questions. Since I can get Fiio M6 a bit cheaper and locally (would be nice to have some local warranty support just in case) how does it compare to the R3 Pro in terms of output power, sound quality, WiFi streaming and also using them as a USB DAC for a PC/laptop?
Also, out of curiosity, what about Shanling M0 vs R3Pro? I know it's not fair comparison and I have pretty much ruled out M0 but I am just being curious.

Many thanks.

Sold my R3 some time ago and missed it terribly. Just saw a note that R3 Pro is available again, so I just purchased one and can't wait for the delivery...will have to see how it compares with the M2X I use for being out and about.

I don't know if aptX LL can be added in software but wouldn't hold my breath for it even if it is possible...

This is the comparison that I've been most interested in, been waiting to pull the trigger on the Pro, what headphones or iems are you planning to pair with it?

I'll run it through my typical rotation of IEMs (Oriveti OH500, BGVP DMG, DMS, TFZ Queen, IT03) and then see how it holds up to stuff like the Meze 99 Noir and HD6XX and NightOwl.

Thinking of ordering the R3 Pro, just wanted ask UK owners, how much custom duty, etc did you get stung with when ordering direct from Hiby and what was average delivery time

 

[AudioJunki3]

Id like to know UK customs costs too, and delivery time if possible.

 

[revsmiley]

For those of you who own the Hiby R3 Pro is it possible to delete apps that are not wanted?
Thanks

Why would you want to delete apps? Just don't use them.

As anyone upgraded to the Hiby R3 Pro from a Sony NW-A45/A55? What's the sound difference like? And BT performance like as use the Sony WH-1000XM3 at present
