The DX300 seems to be quite large. Is it that really a big deal?
To me it sounds better than R6 2020 but of course size does matter.

I listened to R6 and DX300 this afternoon with IE 900. To me, DX 300 has better resolution, more forward mids and dynamic is also better. The bass on DX300 can rock your ears and deeper. Not necessarily a good thing but it is what it can do. It is a more expensive unit though. The sound signature between them is very different. Whether it worth $500 more is up to you. However I like MSEB on R6 a lot. It is so fun to tune IEM to your liking. It is also much more convenient due to the size. DX300 is the same size as C9 but a little bit thinner. It is hard to imagine carrying it every where. R6 is perfect for portability.

lol 😆 not sure I'd want more bass out of my IE900 than it already has. I bought the lotoo PAW S1 while waiting for my R6 replacement. Was never into dongles and thought about getting the DX300, but in the end, didn't want to end up with 2 DAPs with similar specs. I just needed something to get by until I get my R6 back. Nonetheless I'm impressed with its build quality, sound, and convenience.

Good decision! You lose nothing without DX300.

Does anyone know what Max battery in the settings for? I set it to be 80% but it still charges to 100%?

Are you turning off the R6 or have it set to auto off after a certain amount of time? Either of those cause the R8 to charge to full and ignore the max setting. The setting does not work with the R8 if turned off during charging and it is likely the same with the R6.

That makes sense. It goes off after inactive for a few minutes.

Thanks

I'm trying out the Apple Music Beta with hi-res lossless, seems to work well for 24/96 but any album that is available in 24/192 is only outputting at 24/96. I know it's a beta so don't expect it to work but hopefully, once out this can be fixed. Lossless and 24/96 is really nice to have though!

Damn, thanks for offering that tidbit of information. I have mine set to 90, maybe less, and was wondering why it was still charging to 100. Big ole "Duh!" moment on my part.

My 3 weeks old R6 2020 stopped working. I'm getting zero sound out of it. Everything else seems to be functioning fine. I'm just not getting any sound.

Anyone else have this issue?
Yes, I had the exact same problem with mine when I first got it. Andrew @ Musicteck took care of it for me and ultimately, I got a new one.
