So I did order the TempoTec V6 combo and I will return the Hiby R6 Gen3, because in comparison to the mobile phone - AkLIAM PD4 combo with the Tangzu WAN ER SG2022 and QKZ Q1 MAX cable the DAP does not sound as good by far, plus it is to clunky and heavy.

In a case like this, I think the best thing to do is to contact the author of this application, not Hiby as other players work. Hiby won't be able to do much unless the developer of Poweramp contacts them (if necessary)
Looking to get a r6 iii, what are the benefits of connecting an external amp to a dap

More power to drive your headphones.

Long time loiterer, but first time posting. I created an account just to talk about this DAP!
Firstly, the sound quality is great. Absolutely no complaints when used with Moondrop IEMs, Sennheiser Momentum 4, B&W P7, but…
I’ve had it almost a week and in that time have had the date resetting issue (now fixed), the firmware download problem, no output from the USB, buttons on the screen overlapping other buttons making it difficult to open ‘settings’, the weird volume problems with Bluetooth headphones and worst of all, not reading files on the SD.
Initially, I put ~150Gb on, did the import scan in Hiby and Poweramp apps and it worked. But because you can’t transfer to the SD card over wi-if, only the internal memory, I had to remove the card to add more music. Put it back in, repeat the scan and it found the new stuff, but then won’t play anything from the card, but just stalls at 0:01 (streaming is OK).
I’ve formatted the card in the Hiby, removed it and am currently spending the day waiting for my ageing Mac to transfer 200Gb from an external drive to the SD again. (I did transfer just a few files first and tried again and all was good).
Like other folks in the thread, this is my first ever Android product, making navigation more of a challenge, and meaning that nothing is intuitive for me.
I’m a day away from sending it back I think, unless it sorts itself out. If it craps out again, despite the fantastic sound, I’ll be looking elsewhere…

Welcome to head-fi and sorry for your wallet...
And do not give up to fast. As you mention yourself Android itself is a matter of getting used to...
I condemn my iPhone and Apple tablet whenever I am forced to use these (when at the office)...

This happens to me too, it shows the songs after scan but doesn't play them. Just reboot the player and it's good to go.

For people wanting to connect the R6G3 via SPDIF like to a DAC with external speakers for example, I've made a cable that is compatible with Hiby and Cayin players... Worked on Hiby R6 gen 3 and R3 Saber 2022...
Used an RCA cable and connector I had around, cut one side and soldered a USB-C plug that exposes all pins from AliExpress. A bit of solder and a couple minutes later, there it is
The thread about the build is at https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cay...coax-out-for-150.833932/page-39#post-13377537.
The connector I got is: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMMZITI

Hey. New guy here, but I figured this one out because I had the same issue. Disable Direct Volume Control. Once I did that and restarted Poweramp, I no longer had the time-warping track or silence with plugged in headphones. It plays!
It’s still a little buggy for me but it works.

Does wavelet run on this device?
I haven’t gotten it to work on all apps. The same permissions trick for both wavelet and Poweramp Equalizer yielded no audio on the HiBy player, for example.

Well, seems possible, but then again, why use two EQs?
I never use 2 at the same time. I tried one and got no audio, then tried the other. I could get either to work with Apple Music, though. These days, I tend to enjoy the stock tunings of earphones anyway. I’d just be interested in how to get them (either) to work for all the players on this device (reiteration: I’ve gotten it to work on the S22).
