Guys, is there an option (system wide / Hiby app) to normalise volume level? Thanks in advance

Hello Vitaly,

There are options to enable bitperfect systemwide for headphone out, line out and coaxial digital out.

There is also option to enable bitperfect in HiByMusic the bundled app for USB output.

But right now bitperfect does not extend systemwide for USB output.

So the options right now for getting bitperfect systemwide (e.g. with the stock TIDAL app) from the R6 right now lie with a line output (via the dual onboard ES9028Q2M DACs to an external analog amp) or the coaxial digital out.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Joe

Hello Joe or other who may help,

If I correctly understand coaxial digital out (3,5 mm) should be the choice to use R6 as transport to connect to digital in of external dac. In my specific case I would like to connect the R6 to my Moon 650D. For this I would need a cable with 3.5 mm Plug on one side and RCA (cinch) on the other. Question: is this correct and If yes, has the cable to a 75 Ohm one? Thank yo for your attention

Hmmm this is a bit sad really hoped for that spotify or tidal bitperfect via usb out. I know hiby app is really strong in that regard on my v30 it fixed the pops and crackles I could experience.

If you haven't already, run the manual scan to update your library.

Yes, did that..

Given that I'm preferring the Neutron player to the Hiby, can anyone explain why, during playback in pretty much all settings, the end of the song gets clipped and that small portion plays again before the next song starts.

Having started with the Hiby app for iOS I noticed it there but couldn't figure out what it was or how to fix it. Saw it again on the Hiby app with my R6 so realized it wasn't platform specific and that there must be a way to fix it. When I started using Neutron it wasn't present but as I started tinkering with settings all of a sudden it started happening again.

I tried posting to the Neutron forum but haven't gotten a response yet.

Have you enabled gapless playback?

Yes. The included spdif cable is exactly what you need.

Regarding charging. Are there any do's or don't I need to worry about? It's nice finally having a USB-C connector so would like to simply use my macbook pro charger but don't want to over do it....

Eagle Wings, thanks a lot!!!!
Was pretty much shure both ends would have 3,5 mm termination. Next time I will more carefully check the content! Thanks again

Joe,

With next update is it possible to have bigger fonts, i.e. while charging I am not able to read the percentage and others

The SE output on this DAP is simply stellar. No other DAP I've tried can handle the HD650 like the R6. High or low gain, it doesn't even matter.

Mentioned this in Hiby FB group and figured to drop a line here as well, since I received a number of questions in the last few weeks, asking about pair up of R6 with various IEMs/headphones and the effect of direct connection vs iEMatch (due to output impedance). I did cover pair up with 20 different headphones in my R6 review a few months ago, on the last page of the review HERE.

Would you tell us is the issue with display(dark triangles) Warranty case or not?

As much as I would love to keep this amazingly beautiful Stainless Steel R6, I have decided to sell my BNIB SS R6 because I already have the iBasso DX200 & DX90 and don't really need another DAP, lol!

So I've posted my BNIB SS R6 in the classifieds...

Probably not a good idea to use the MacBook charger. It outputs a higher voltage than 5V, which is not good for R6's battery. Best to use a 5V/2A or a 5V/1A charger.
