Yes, we are planning to port the PEQ to systemwide

Excellent news! Thank you for listening to us, that will make a big difference.

Has anyone successfully connected their iPhone as a source and used the R6III as a DAP only? I wanted to play some music that is only on Apple Music and not on Quobuz, but not via Bluetooth to retain lossless quality. I tried following the Hiby directions but for some reason, my iPhone doesn't output when connected via USB. Any tips are appreciated.

I don’t use Apple Music anymore, but when I did I just installed the Apple Music app on the R6III and used that.

Not using anything Apple, but the R6III can all these things except making phone calls - so, what's the point really?

Does the R6III go to the USB DAC mode screen when you have connected as instructed? Something like this:

If not, what do you get instead?

Hello! New R6 III owner here! I'm trying to use the media buttons in PowerAmp. If I press pause and then again to play, it appears to continue playing but the seconds count in about half-second intervals. Whether in working or wonky mode, the next track button goes to the next track and also counts quickly. Either way, I hear silence. If I use the on-screen controls to pause, wait ~4 seconds, then play again, I can get my sound back. Sooner than that, and it's still in double-speed silent mode.

I tried some advice earlier in this thread about (1) disabling the Hiby Music app, and (2) disabling PowerAmp's Direct Volume Control (DVC). Neither seemed to help an iota. Thanks so much for any advice on this one!

Oh snap, my player decided to update the firmware again today, this time to 1.31. I had thought it would have been the latest when it updated the other day, but I guess not!

Anyway, the problem disappeared!

Thanks & sorry for the noise. <3

So it's worked one time, tried it several other times and it doesn't. It's weird. When I connect USB it asks me if I want to allow Hiby Music to access my iPhone.

The connection's gone the wrong way with respect to "host-slave" relationship. Try to connect the cable the other ways around (both in terms of up-down and which and goes where), or opt for a dedicated Camera Connection Kit and a regular type A-C cable.

That would work but it won't be lossless.

Awesome, I'll try that and see if it works. Thank you!

Sure? Why not?

Using Apple Music app on DAP, lossless works, offline works, all good.

It’s a couple of months since I used Apple Music, but I think it was lossless on the R6. I would suggest try it and see what the result is.

I was under the impression that it's only lossless on Apple products, on my PC it isn't lossless. If it is on the R6 then, jackpot! I'll check right now.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, Apple Music is not lossless on the R6III. I'm listening now. On playback on my iPhone 15 the Lossless symbol is present on the R6III it is not.
