I find it fine. Lossless and hi rez light up the appropriate lights. I would say it’s as least as good if not a bit better than my dragonfly black
Perhaps try Clear Data on the HiBy Music app instead.Yes, I tried both force stop and disabling the app. None of this worked. And today - same situation, wireless headphones, Poweramp - I used the skip button on th HiBy (the physical one) and it also triggered HiBy Music to open :/. Maybe I'll just reinstall Poweramp, before trying system reinstall.

That won't help. It's a hiby issue that for some reason they can't fix even after multiple bug reports.Perhaps try Clear Data on the HiBy Music app instead.
How is the scrolling/smoothness? Any other glitches?I find it fine. Lossless and hi rez light up the appropriate lights. I would say it’s as least as good if not a bit better than my dragonfly black
I updated my Tidal app to the newest version, which incorporates Flac, but some albums (the ones I know that have been actually converted to Flac) are not playing at all. Does anyone know if this is a fault of the app or my R5 Gen 2?
I wrote an email to Hiby's customer service at hello@hiby.com and they replied pretty fast, saying they'll let their engineers know about this issue. It'd be great if you and everyone who's experiencing this issue can write them, so they can prioritize it.Not sure but my original R5 is doing the same thing with the new Tidal app.

We're looking into it Unfortunately Tidal is not the most responsive when it comes to tech support on a B2B level.Does anyone have any updates on Tidal's issues? Mine's still not playing any FLAC files

Nope, mine is not playing the FLAC files, either. High Res is ok but if I use the Hiby App to play Tidal everything works IF the Hiby App doesn't crash and burn. Overall, this is my first DAP and I won't ever buy a Chinese DAP again. Too many glitches, slow operation, and issues. When it works it works well. Just too often I have problems.

2.87.1.1125.12180. Looks like I touched a nerve and I appreciate your frustration. I love the device when it works but I run into quirky things often. It's not your fault Tidal changed their formatting to which you have to adjust. But I'm just to the point where I can play from my phone or MacBook, use a DAC and AMP and get what I need. I'd say with my Hiby R5II, about 50% of the time I use it for an hour to two without issue. Some issues resolve themselves, some require a reboot, some I just turn it off and give up and come back in a few days to try again. I like the Hiby player/app but it's hit or miss on when or how it works, as well.You won't face glitches with a smartphone, unfortunately it also won't play bit-perfect most of the time. Often I wonder if it is even worth our time customizing Android to do this thing that it seems to absolutely refuse to do reliably without throwing a tantrum in other ways (bit-perfect over most apps, while some others simply crash and burn) but it seems that we are stuck doing this as a distinguishing feature whether we like it or not. I found that there's some other DAPs (not our brand or software developed by us) that are in the same boat regarding TIDAL at the moment. Over in the TIDAL thread itself they haven't yet pinned down the exact cause of these issues which are not isolated to us (to be fair, neither have we)
edit: can I check if you are using TIDAL 2.88.1 or later?
