Hiby tell me gapless in NOT POSSIBLE due to MQA. UAPP is gapless but doesn't sound as good, sigh.
I get gapless from both apps since it's built in to the apps.Hiby tell me gapless in NOT POSSIBLE due to MQA. UAPP is gapless but doesn't sound as good, sigh.
Mmm which Tidal subscription do you have?I get gapless from both apps since it's built in to the apps.
I have the hifi plusMmm which Tidal subscription do you have?
Seems odd that Hiby say Tidal in Hiby Music isn't gapless. Do you have a preference soundwise for either app?I have the hifi plus

I do agree. It really does suck to see us stuck on a8.1 after I remember reading a9 as a thing for it until it actually came outIt's a great player and i love It.
Love the size of the Sony NW series player, but the class A and sound of the Hiby seems better.
Real annoyance is the Android version. Unfortunately there won't be any updates that she of things
May I ask if you still have the Hiby R5 gen 2 or did you return/sell it? If so, could you explain why? I seen your name a couple of times on the Sony Nw-A306 so I would really value your info. I plan to use Moondrop Starfield iem and the Sennheiser HD58x with my next dap. Currently have a Hiby R3 Pro Saber 2022 but I've experience my performance issues and I'm starting to get frustrated with the device.Same, my ears can't discern any real difference in sound between ESS internal DAC AMP or the separate class A AMP. That's a plus for me so I can get the long battery life!
Maybe it comes into its own with headphones (appreciate your comments on HD600's but balanced has much more power available). I'd say I detected a tiny bit more warmth/smoothness but nothing really.
I also had some weird pause in music on first use and the wifi drop issue but both seem to have gone away after restarts (512GB mSD). If you are chasing ultimate sound quality then look elsewhere but for a better than phone SQ/power DAP with Android and long battery life this is it.
I've sent the EU capped Sony 1ZM2 back now but I'm still checking daily for new Amazon Japan 1AM2 stock ! (but then your talking x4 or x10 times more expensive).
I change DAP's a fair bit! I like Sony sound and tiny form/weight of A300 series.May I ask if you still have the Hiby R5 gen 2 or did you return/sell it? If so, could you explain why?

Yes, I only used in ECO mode for the long battery life*. Just Android 8.1 its way old now and if into streaming apps could be a limiting factor in near future, unlike DAP's with 10,11,12.Thanks for the recommendation. I have seen the recent Huby R6 gen iii. The onky think I dislike the device is the battery life compared to the Hiby R5 gen 2. As the R5ii has a 35 hours of battery life on economy mode but Android is pretty old now. Thanks for you advice again!
