DSD upsampling where?

On any app, I have the paid versions of UAPP, Onkyo HF, Neutron, poweramp. Tried playing with all the settings (theres not many), can't get it to work with any of them.

I have an R2 and R3 and am thinking of ordering the R5 gen 2. Can anyone speak to how it works and sounds with Apple Music on all res of tracks

Has anyone been able to get dsd upsampling to work?

Am i the only one that uses this?

May just he me but after firmware update, class A improvement seems more noticeable over economy mode.

I am thinking of getting either an R2 or an R3 Pro for my yardwork/throw-around DAP because I dropped my AP80 Pro-X one too many times and the back panel popped off completely and broke into pieces. And I had already superglued the back panel back on once, after it popped off the first time as a result of a drop, which rendered the physical buttons on the side unusable (most likely stuck due to super-glue). I mentioned above that I have owned both the R2 and the R3 Pro Saber previously, albeit not for all that long. I am actually leaning toward the R2 due to it's form factor and cost. Can you (or anyone) give any insights/recommendations as pertains to the R2 vs R3 Pro? Obviously I know the basics. Different chips, 2.5mm balanced port on R3 Pro, etc, etc. But how comparable is the sound on the R2 as compared to the R3 Pro? I realize that you have the R3 standard version as opposed to the Pro it seems. Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's me choosing another genre of music after the update, but the soundstage on A is huge~

Yup i also noticed a big improvement in soundstage after the update on A. Almost surround sound like.... Maybe it's just me

Mine finally got here today. I didn’t really believe you guys about class A sounding different at all with IEMs….I was so wrong. Sorry awesome battery life, I won’t be experiencing you

Now I am getting FOMO. Oh wait, I have one on the way.

Besides Class A, I really like the idea of having 2.5 and 4.4 balanced outputs. Very sweet.

I would have had FOMO with regard to R2R which is become a "thing"; but then again I listen to quite a bit of SACD material so R2R has no benefit there.

Say, can this act directly as a DAC for an iphone? Or do we need the Apple CCK? Now that dongles are becoming a big deal direct connection of the iphone to the DAC is becoming more common.

Yes, notice same on a track I'm familiar with too.

Does the Hiby app support DSD upsampling?

I'm having difficulty getting DSD upsampling to work on any app, I have the paid versions of neutron, uapp, hiby, onkyo hf, power amp and I can't get DSD upsampling to work on any of the apps.

@Joe Bloggs

It is not a feature of the native app. For 3rd party apps, it would depend on whether they support streaming DSD to the R player, support of which is not as widespread as DTA of PCM data. It may require recoding on their part to support each R player unlike with PCM.

I'm not familiar with what R player and DTA is.

I'm not sure what you're saying here, what would need recoding? Isn't it natively capable of DSD256?

I use DSD upsampling in jriver to listen to music with my desktop setup but I'm not able to get DSD upsampling to work in Jriver with the R5g2 when used as a usb dac either.

What can I do to get DSD upsampling to work?
