Just updated the firmware on my hiby r6 2020 chinese version. I’m happy with this update because there’s a toggle in settings to enable google play store, now i don't need to struggle to install some apps. Haven’t tried hiby cast yet tho.

Finally got round to trying my R62020 as a digital transport feeding into my Chord Hugo TT2. Initial impressions are very good. Only problem, the one metre coax cable supplied is not really long enough to comfortably use the R62020 as a source on a regular basis. Anyone know of a similar 2 metre coax cable that would work?

A public service announcement regarding TIDAL on our devices

Currently, TIDAL (builds starting from 2.87.1 that included Max level FLACs) does not seem to be working properly for devices of Android version 10 or below.
I included my investigation results (how I arrived at this conclusion) here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/tidal-lossless-streaming.733233/page-340#post-17695132

One solution is for us to upgrade all our DAPs to 11 and up, but as some of you know, our ability to do update the Android version is pretty much tied to the SoC used and the SDK provided. 😅

Another solution, since the app does allow installation on all our DAPs ranging down to Android 6, is for TIDAL to make use of the info given above to debug the app for older versions of Android, so that they will actually run properly on devices they would install on. 😀

As of this writing, the last TIDAL version I tested that functioned properly, was 2.86.0 . I include a link to its installer here
https://d.apkpure.com/b/APK/com.aspiro.tidal?versionCode=1121

I will try to update here when this issue has been resolved.

Best regards,
Joe

Hello all.
I have a question. On Z-reviews he mentions r6 lll had the ability to adjust the Sound Stage, what is this adjustment called and where is it?
This is available as a system level audio plugin (look in system Audio Settings->plugins), it's called Sound Field.

On another note, you can do way more than adjust the stage width, using this audio chain in system audio settings:

I have been having software crashes while sometimes booting up. Wifi nor bluetooth works. Device just hangs and have to wait for it to restart itself. This has only happened on the latest firmware. Any one else have this issue or know of a possible fix?

Are you referring to wifi and bluetooth not working when this bootup issue occurs, or?

Joe, Thanks for responding. Yes this is the problem I am having. It happened again yesterday.

Joe, is there any kind of remedy or are they working on a new firmware that will fix the issue? This is my second R6 2020. The first one just died within a year.

I have exactly the same issue. Don't remember if it happens before last firmware

@Joe Bloggs any updates on this matter? Thanks. It's been a couple of weeks with no response. Thanks!
Could you check your wifi settings and see if automatic wifi activation is on. Mine was not and it seems it solved the problem.
