Just plugging in to the LO port is all you need to do. The R6 2020 will recognize that you're using the LO port and adjust accordingly. This is a big relief for me versus the R3 where I had to change the settings to LO each time.

Thanks and do you turn the HiBy volume to 100% if connecting to a C9 or Woo WA8?

The best part of this is that you don't have the adjust the gain levels when you switch from line out to phone out thereby removing the possibility of blowing out your ears by forgetting to reduce the gain from 100% to your normal listening level. It adjusts automatically.

Yes, just keep the volume at 100 when using LO. The LO and headphone jacks both have separate volume levels, and the R6 will automatically adjust to the correct volume depending on which one you're using.

Great, going to try the R6 tonight with the C9 and WA8.

I think I need to let it burn in some because out of the box I didn't notice it sounding better than the DX160. I'm trying to settle on a small DAP that I can keep in my pocket that will also pair well with an external amp for those situations.

This will be very nice indeed. Twice I have made that misstep with the SP2000 and C9 and it is jarring and painful for the second it takes to rip the earphones off.

I've discovered there is a small area in my living room where my R6 picks up a radio station or something, I can hear voices playing quietly in the background. Moving it about a foot in any direction out of this area or covering it with my hand causes the voices to go away.

That can happen with a lot of things. The interference even from dimmer lights with speakers is a real pain.

I use 500 x 500 pixels (DPI 300) JPG file for album art. I wonder if I use a bigger PNG file with 1500 x 1500 pixels would make it looks clearer with details or will I slow down the loading of the art files?

(my album art is not embedded in music file but it is an independent file name as Folder.jpg in a music album)

I'd keep them smaller to remain compatible with other software.

Got my 2020 R6 yesterday. The backplate is not assembled properly.

Musicteck as always is replacing the unit promptly . What a great company to do business with.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Mine isn't like that but that is some poor QC. Hope you can get a replacement without a hassle. It's otherwise a wonderful DAP.

The lossless PNG is much better than the lossy JPG. But it has disadvantages: many PNG album cover arts requires much more space in your SD card.
I recommend use JPG image files but use DPI 600 resolution and use "Sharpen" effect and HSV stretch and Contrast stretch. The album covers will be more detailed...

Why 600 DPI? Are you printing your cover afterwards? The hiby screen cannot display more than 443 ppi.
All my covers have a size by 500*500*180 dpi

I wish battery life was better on this. 10 hours on my ak SR15 is annoying. May need to get R5 instead for more battery but less power
