Just got mine today. Spent majority of the time streaming Qobuz. Out of the box works great. So glad I accidentally ordered no saber since I might side grade es100 to q5k.

No hiccups no fuss, just like I’d hoped. I’ve had dx 160, m11 and r6 pro as of late. Plagued by battery and android issues excluding r6. I just don’t need android on a player. Loving this little device.

I don’t know how I’m still listening to my favorites on Qobuz off WiFi. Buts it’s great 👍

Edit: ok so kind of finicky, I wasn’t actually still connected to WiFi and my device crashed

Thanks for the reply.

Are you using firmware 1.4? Did your unit having issue on update firmware?

My unit have issue on firmware update but I managed to flash the recovery (clone.rar) and updated to 1.4.

I think something is wrong to having a problem on a basic functionality. Even my original R3 is working flawlessly.
I live remote so not much luxury of internet so running 1.3, I didn't even know there was 1.4 lol

It’s just stock with fearless tequila.

I’m having problems scanning music. I loaded like 30 gb on an sd card but it will only partially scan in. Should I just try smaller batches?

I had added an empty 400gb card and added music via laptop, no problem. Have not tried loading a card with music already in it.

It has got to be a faulty SD card at this point. I had issues with DX160 as well and thought it was firmware issues. I had dac issues with dx160 as well coupled with connectivity issues. I guess I will be picking up an SD card and reader today just in case.

I am really enjoying wifi streaming though. Which use is completely against why I downgraded from android daps. I can add favorites to my qobuz account and all of the albums will appear on the player. Other options like "search" and "discover" did not work for me.

I have restarted this device a lot since I have had it, can't wait for the honeymoon to be over. haha

I tried downgrade to 1.3 and change the sd card but it still the same.

Anyone know how to contact Hiby's customer service? Is the email hello@hiby.com on their website is the right one?
Yes ! They respond quickly ( from my experience)

Hows the R3pro compared to R6pro and DX160 (sonically) ?? Is R6pro a bigger upgrade to R3pro Saber purely SQ wise
