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

Yes! For whatever reason, it wasn't working until I restarted the R6, then it worked right away.

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?

In my personal opinion there is no need to force the use of a 1 TB SD card. What kind of Sandisk card you use (quality). You have to format it to exFAT file system by default.

Great!

I couldn't get the Sandisk to work. I returned it. Going to stick with the Samsung 512G. It's enough space. I just needed a second SD card for my second DAP so I thought I'd try to 1T. It wasn't worth the effort and I have no idea why it didn't work.

Possibly fake perhaps. There are a lot of them out there. Reformatting is when is usually shows up. Or just a bad card. I have a 1TB Sandisk that works fine so I don't think it is a compatibility issue.

HiBy states that the R6 supports microSD cards up to 2TB, so there shouldn't be any "forcing" involved.

Where did you get it? Like they said, lots of fakes. I'd try formatting it to FAT32 outside the R6 and see if it then gets recognized. FAT 32 limit is also 2TB. Here's a card tester.

There's no need to format to FAT32 for these devices however. exFAT (as the cards are usually formatted out of the factory) works just fine.

If it doesn't, as you pointed out there are SD card tests available on the PC, although there are also ones available right on the Android Play store (although I can't definitely recommend any particular one over others at the moment, any one of many near the top of the list should work.)

Thanks Joe. I still like FAT32 because it's so universal across platforms and eras while no detriment in use under 2TB but it's nice to know. One of the things I like about this player is how modern it is in terms of speed, wireless, software etc. Was a good time to invest in a more functional player. You're right, he shouldn't change formats before initial test and probably just due a simple fast (native) exfat format and then get those results.

I would just like to comment on the uapp opinions. I am now using roon and am not missing the uapp crashes and it's rather ugly ui.
I am thankful for the uapp app and it's developers. I have paid for it and will use it from time to time.
In Roon i have all the options i need and more, especially on pc. Adios.

 

[goodvibes]

Personally not a Roon fan. Don't like how it handles untagged files. Also don't like that it effectively becomes your server but I absolutely understand it's popularity.

Have you figured out a way to bypass SRC? My R6 2020 resamples everything to 44.1 with Roon, i.e. no high resolution.

@twister6 Great Reviews. Any more insight comparison between Hiby R6 2020 vs Cayin N6ii +E02/T01? I am struggling between these two. On paper, seems Hiby get a better software experience. Not so sure about sound. I do appreciate N6ii's flexibility. But from your reviews and others, seems N6ii's different modules doesn't varies that much? Thanks!

I have actually not used Roon with the R6 2020 but since i already have uapp then i will just use that until there is a fix.
Sure am liking Roon on the desktop though.
Recently got the Topping D70S and the Sinxter S1, it's all gettinh better.
