Can hiby r3p connect to an external amp while in bluetooth mode?

Really need an answer to this :)

You can stream music from R3 to an AMP with BT receiver going to your headphones. OR, you can stream music to your R3 and then going through a coaxial or a USB cable to an AMP and then headphones. Kind of like R3 > stream over BT > Qudelix 5K. Or Phone > stream over BT > R3 > usb cable > Chord Mojo. Hope it helps.

What i wanted to do is, using my smartphone as the source to stream spotify to the hiby r3p using bluetooth mode and connect the r3p with cable to the external amp like xduoo xd05+ and plug my iem there (in the xduoo)

I had the M11 (BTR5 much better IMO), not a fan of sound quality. I have a set of planner magnetic Audeze Mobius which I can try wired off the 3.5mm. I had a set of Sen HD660S at 150Ohm and even my S10 smartphone could drive them.

Are you intending to use 3.5mm on balanced? Are you wanting for just your own music ort for Streaming service too?
So the btr5 is the best thing to buy if i use more bluetooth connection? is the m11 sound worser than btr5? how about btr5 vs r3p??

Yes if you mostly us BT and especially if AptxHD or LDAC and even better if using balanced ear/headphones.

You will still likely notice better sound wired if you have high-end kit and listening to 24/48+ FLAC files or DSD. BTR5 doesn't do native MQA while the R3Pro will (wired).

If just Spotify then IMO LDAC BT is as good as wired. Don't forget the DAC/AMP will also colour the Sound.

I got a ZX507 with Sony sound signature which I now prefer to the BTR5 sound signature but not sure if "better" just different. I still use my BTR5 with ZX507 occasionally but mostly just the ZX507 with balanced wired now.

On Qobuz, is the number of albums in My Favorites limited to 50, and 50 for artists as well? I see 23 tracks.
More than 100 in playlists.
Is there a case with a clip or a way to add one ?
e.g. https://www.ebay.com/i/293686881565

P.S. because no one asked: apparently I will be doing a podcast on HiByMusic Aliexpress on Black Friday 😱 details to follow
