I have the Hiby R5, which doesn’t have a parametric equalizer at the system level (although it does have system-wide MSEB). Does the new R6 have a system-wide parametric equalizer? I know apps like UAPP do, but I am interested in a system-wide solution that would affect all apps.

It does not. One of the reasons I try to use UAPP exclusively as much as possible.

Thanks for your reply! That’s a pity — would have been a reason to upgrade. I don’t see why it would be difficult to implement system-wide parametric EQ if they are able to do MSEB, but obviously I am not an expert.

Also, MSEB is a black box — I appreciate it’s proprietary but it would be helpful to know at least which setting is influencing what band of frequencies.

Does anyone has compared the DX160 with the R6?

Sorry if this has been already resolved and I couldn't find it.
I'm experiencing a notable lag (500ms+) in sound when connected in DAC mode to my PC. Anyone know if this is to be expected or am I missing something?
I'm assuming it's something about the device? Doesn't happen with my Logi BT headset. I also don't have much else to test this with.
Any advice or ideas?
Thanks

Been having issues with the R6 in Bluetooth receiver mode. On a Mac, pairing is possible, but Bluetooth audio output through the R6 isn’t. The same goes for my iPhone. With the Apple TV, pairing is not possible at all. Perhaps it’s an Apple-specific thing, but my Cayin N3Pro has had no issues pairing and acting as a Bluetooth receiver with all of my devices.

Is there the same issues in R8 or other brand ?
If it's able to unfold mqa with the same capability (16x) ? or only found on 16x which Hiby able to do that ?
It's an issue with all of our Android MQA capable players, and as far as I know an issue in one way or another with all Android MQA capable players (you hear the click or you don't, but there's an issue there regardless, as detailed)

the R6 can't be a BT receiver and sender at the same time, and i believe it says so when starting receiver mode.

Any insight on the PC DAC sound delay issue? =)

I'm afraid this may be one of the inherent limitations of the platform (on the player side), although the actual delay may be more or less, depending on the way the driver is configured (e.g. default windows driver vs our provided driver)
