Here's a superbly written review of the R6.

Oh yes, brother @ryanjsoo writes excellent reviews and tends to be quite unbiased when it comes to sound

Surprisingly receive my R6 SS yesterday, so today just go buy a 400GB card. Thanks Hiby.

Some test on usb audio ? (connecting to an external DAC)

 

[Amigozszz]

I would like also to hear impressions on Dac as well connecting lineout to amplifier. Cant wait to get mine, as there is not a lot of of reviews regarding how guys like sound on hiby R6, somebody tested with Meze99c?

Whilst the device is really good I'm having no luck transferring via USB connected to my Mac. It's directly connected, no USB hubs or anything. I've tried both USB ports. I've also tried enabling developer mode and seeing if activating USB debug works. Nope. The only way I've actually been able to move songs to the device is via an SD card reader, which was also a bit fussy. I had to use the Terminal to copy stuff! I've had issues like this with the X7ii but that allowed transfer via USB. I'll try another USB cable when I get home, but I'm fairly certain this cable allows data transfer. I generally use the card reader for faster data transfer but if it's just a single album or a few songs I'll do it via USB just for simplicities sake.

Did you guys noticed some noise/interference while Wifi is on ( Tidal listening...)?

...unless the card also disappears halfway through use of the player, e.g. playing music on the R6.

Then that's a hardware issue with the card reader on this particular R6 and I would recommend you get in touch with me on private messages ASAP to sort out the problem.

The card disappear when I am connected via USB to my laptop or PC. Both running Win10. During music play, it is fine.
I think the trouble is the USB storage problem.

Did you try Android File Transfer as it was suggested a few posts above here: www.head-fi.org/threads/hiby-r6-dap-dual-dac-balanced-out-great-reviews-and-over-500-funded-indiegogo.852042/page-91#post-14039567

Ah, thanks twister6! I missed that post! That solved it for me! Thank you to the original poster, also!

Anybody hear a decent difference between the regular 3.5 and 2.5 balanced headphone jack?

I hear about 1mm difference...
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Cheers!

Ah I think I can answer this. I've always had this problem on my girlfriend's mac. Mac doesn't play well with android. it's not like Windows where you can just plug it in, click and drag. Install Android File Transfer on your Mac. When you plug in the R6, it'll ask something about confirming the connection or allowing the connection. Sometimes you might have to plug and unplug and allow the connection again. Eventually your sd card and built in storage will show up. From there you should be able to click and drag.

This is not the R6's problem. It's an android issue. I've been dealing with this since android 1.5 (cupcake).

An 'android issue' ? Are you sure this is not the other way around, a problem with Apple products (those want you to use only iPhones and iPads) ? Because you know, android devices connect without such issues not just to Windows (not an OS owned by Google I think), but also to all Linux distributions, from the beginning (Cupcake). The only issue is... with OS X. Do we really wonder why it is so ? It's the same problem when you tried to connect iPods to Windows PCs (you were locked in Itunes walled gardens or couldn't transfer files). This was not a 'windows issue', but just another movement from Apple against users.

is there a line out issue ? Can anyone else confirm ?

Hi twister6,

Does R6 drop volume when EQ is enabled like in FiiO DAPs?

 

[Detectit]

'

Yes but at a slower rate. Because of the manufacturing process takes longer.

Or the capicity of the metal factory is not that big.

At least we can praise HiBy to work and respond even though it's new year time.
I know it's a big deal in China.
