Oh, in that case maybe not for bit perfect. It works on everything else. I don't have Tidal, so probably should have stayed quiet.

No worries! We’re all trying to figure this stuff out together

Last couple of messages bring up a question I've had for a while: are there any DAPs of this nature that support Android Audio?

At least one FIIO unit has advertised that recently.

When i plugged in my old DX 160 to a cheapo Suzuki it prompted me to install android auto. Is that what you guys are talking about or are you referring to wireless android auto?

 

[BobbyTBrown]

Thanks. Hmmm. Either that has changed since the R6 Pro, or I am doing something wrong… I can detect easily the affect of MSEB when playing through Amazon, for example, but not Tidal (when Tidal is set to bit perfect).

It’s system wide. However, it doesn’t work for MQA or at least not with Tidal Masters.

It works with all the other streaming apps.

I think it is because of the unfolding process.

Question… MSEB, when people say it is system wide, does that apply to apps playing bit perfect (like Tidal or UAPP)? I have an old R6 Pro and it does not seem to apply, but maybe newer DAPs behave differently.

It does not affect bitperfect output/MQA.

Enjoying it so far, no problems or anything. Compared to smaller brother R3 2022 this is punchier and more defined, some extra warmth with my NP. Resolution is high up there and takes good use of the Master tracks on Tidal.

Will this be able to drive a Hifiman Ananda Stealth well?
If so, only on the balanced output ?
I plan to bring a DAP on a trip I will be doing soon....

It drives my Arya, without checking the sensitivity, I would assume so.

Different headphone of course, but I did find the Arya just a bit too much “headphone” for the little R6. The Ananda is not the same of course.

Running the Arya balanced or single ended?

Balanced via xlr adapter.

See my very basic thoughts on page 18.

All I can say for now is the Arya’s do show up any SQ issues anyway.

On the R6 it’s more so. Some EQ/MSEB tweaking might help and I’ve yet the time to try.

However they can sound great, but the Arya will not be my headphone of choice for the R6. Whether it’s them or just huge planars? I suspect the latter.

The 660s fair much better.

Anyone have the brown leather case that’s on Hiby’s site? I prefer the color to the green, but it looks like it doesn’t have button cutouts like the green one. I’m wondering whether that makes it nearly impossible to press the buttons, like on my R5ii’s case.

The brown case for The New Hiby R6 also fits the R6 Gen III. It is more secure because of the Velcro flap at the top, and there is a cut out on the right side for the buttons.

I've got it and it does have a cut out for the entire button section and for the ports at the bottom. There isn't a cut out for the SD card slot so you have to remove the device to access it - not an issue for me, personally.

Fantastic. Thank you both. But man, their case pricing is all over the map. $15 for green, $30 for brown, $66 for the "New R6" brown one with the flap.

Does yours look like the one they have on the site here, but with button cut outs?

Or more like the one that BobbyTBrown has, with the flap?
