Thanks, Great review and you can add UAPP if you prefer a player that's a little less polite. I like having both and the dig filter options for voicing/matching. I still prefer it single ended but it's very good out of both jacks.

So is it better to use uapp or the hibby music app ?

UAPP is cleaner. Hiby app has a weird ad to skip at the start, jarring.

My R6 has the same issue mentioned in this review where the volume knob doesn't always immediately register that it's being turned. I'd assume Hiby will fix it in a future update.

I think that's just the physical wheel. I doubt an update will solve this, but I could be wrong.

So, with sensitive iems such as Andromeda, hissing is noticeable and not so black the background noise is…

I think the Solaris 2020 isn't quite as sensitive as Andromeda but mine have no hiss I can detect with my R6 while on medium gain.

Thanks! I use UAPP but I stick to writing the review with the stock player in spotlight.

I checked with them and HiBy's rep says that it's physical = the encoder. My Universal Audio Apollo Twin's encoder started doing that too and I had it replaced. I definitely liked R6 Pro's physical volume buttons more but the rest of R6 2020 is very cool.

This is probably the 20th question I'm answering about R6 2020 + Andromeda's hissing today. Haha. Andromeda is like everyones favourite litmus test. Lol!

Andromeda hissing from SE in Low Gain is so faint that you got to focus hard to hear it. 5 songs into my playlist at good volume and my ear ringing is much louder than the hissing. That's how low it is. Lol! Jokes aside, I can only hear it VERY faintly for a second or so when the I pause the song before the DAC goes on standby or in the rare song where only one instrument is playing (not all songs). I definitely don't hear it in busy sections of songs. In most songs, I perceive a nice black background with Andromeda plugged into SE too. Hissing is slightly more prominent through 4.4mm BAL in Andromeda but I personally don't use the balanced outputs for sensitive IEMs. I perceive almost no hissing in SE with Fibae7 (5.9Ω) or Craft Ears Four (10Ω), both low impedance and fairly sensitive multi-BA IEMs.

If you want me to test a specific song for you, let me know. Cheers!

Latest update really improved the stock player. Glad you waited to publish.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I’m a bit concerned about this, ’cause I usually use balanced outputs.

Can anyone give me the dummy's guide to setting up the R6 2020 as an external DAC on Windows 10? I've never done it before, and I'm trying to fumble through it but not getting anywhere. Thanks!

Never mind, restarting the R6 seemed to have done the trick. Of course I forgot to follow the first rule of these things.

Anyone have luck using a Sandisk 1T micro SD card with their R6 2020? I had been using a Samsung 512G without any issues at all. I decided to pick up a Sandisk to get more storage, but it won't format properly and is not being recognized by the R6. Is this just me or the SD card I got or is it a problem with Sandisk?

You were successful setting up your DAC? (I see you edited your post)
