HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768
Hello. Been using this player for nearly a month now and I'm liking every second of it. I have a quick question: does anybody know if there's a plugin for the HiBy music app that enables crossfade on play/pause and sorting artist songs by album instead of alphabetically? Both things are the reasons why I use Poweramp instead with the HiRes output option, but if such features were to be enabled in the original music app, I'd choose the "native" player over a 3rd party app, if anything for compatibility purposes.
I am thinking of buying an R6 III. The issue is that I have an R2 Saber pro that has not stopped giving me problems (physical buttons that stopped responding, sudden shutdowns...) so I'm afraid that this model will also have this kind of problems. I also read that the 1.31 update has given problems to several people.
In general would you recommend this player? If not, which one would you recommend? The maximum budget is 600€.

It's only natural than on DAP pages users will talk about problems. I'll talk about the good things about this player. Sound wise it is top notch. It is a lot larger and heavier than the R2 Saber Pro and my own HiBy R5 and a big upgrade soundwise. Not only does it have MSEB, it has some dynamic plug-ins that make a big difference. 1.31 update may possibly need you to do a factory reset at the worst, but after that my R6 III works perfectly. You wouldn't have to worry even if you have to do a factory reset as it would be new. Of course with 4GB of RAM it is smooth and quick. It is built like a brick outhouse and is very substantial. I mainly use Amazon HD, but have a few thousand MP3's and Flacs scraped off the web years ago, and even 128mps MP3s sound exceptionally good, using the HiBy music app. Personally I love the R6 III. Once FW 1.31 is settled it is a good update. I bought mine in a sale from Linsoul. I'm sure on 11/11 you will get it from HiBy or other good suppliers for a good price
Yes, I would recommend installing 1.31 and factory resetting before anything else and then it'll be fine (there was a minor issue that was fixed by resetting).
Strange because my HiBy Music App works. Just tested it again and it plays fine. I'm on the latest firmware 1.31_20230905-1333. Did you do the factory reset on this version?
Edit:-
Both Flac and MP3 files play normally through the HiBy Music App.
hello everyone, long time reader, first post here, so thank you in advance for the very interesting readings during past years!
just received yesterday the R6III and i am impressed by the audio quality, music sound so different and alive.
software wise not very impressed...i am facing quite few problem and i can't understand whats wrong.
i am currently on the 1.31 and hiby app 2.0.8
double tap to wake works 50% of times.
90% of times can't log in to the hiby music app, not sure if this is really necessary, but anyway can't access.
as far as i understand logging in is necessary only to use MQA with streaming services, correct?
issue with plugin: downloaded from AUDIO SETTINGS > PLUGIN > "sound field", "convolution" and "balance".
can't donwload "fixed sample rates" and "DRX10K" keep getting failed download error.
did try to do a factory reset, clear the plugin data from developer option, but still can't find or download any plugin.
when i check in the hiby music app for downloaded plugin there is nothing in the plugin manager, i don't have even the "gear" icon to open the option menu.
when connected to a pair of in ear the volume dial becomesglitchy, like it step up or down by "half value".
same if i try to swipe volume with finger, it get even worse, it stuck for example on 70 while volume is low or stuck at 20 when the volume is high.
there any available any widget music and audio options?

I did several factory resets after installing the latest firmware but the HiBy Music App keeps crashing after changing volume through the wheel (playing dsd files).
Meanwhile I've installed Poweramp and removed HiBy App. Everything is running without any issue with Poweramp.

The oddities of digital 0 and 1's. It's good that you have solved your issue. Luckily there are so many good music apps that we can overcome these problems. Good luck and enjoy your music.
