So after some more troubleshooting, I've found that it is indeed sorted from the first word of the "Album Title" tag only. "First word" seems to be alphanumerical characters only. Hyphens (-) do not seem to count as part of the word.

Filenames do not matter. The issue with the way this sorts is if the first word is the same, it jumbles the order seemingly at random, as it would change the order when I changed another tag in the file, but there was no pattern as to what way it sorts if the first word is the same.

Joe, is there any way this can be adressed? This is massively infuriating. I have like 7 or 8 3-disc rave albums that all start with "Hardcore" (Hardcore Euphoria, multiple Hardcore Heaven Volumes (each having 3 discs), Hardcore United Tokyo, Hardcore Heaven Summer Madness to name a few). All of these Hardcore albums' discs are in a jumbled mess for like 3-4 scrolls of the album view.

For a music listener, the Album view is useless unless I actually tag each album title in every file like this: "RWBY1CD1 (Original Soundtrack & Score)", "RWBY1CD2 (Original Soundtrack & Score)", "RWBY2CD1 (Original Soundtrack & Score)", etc.

That will work, but it looks god awful in the view. This really should be fixed at the software level. This is making HiBy look bad. I've already seen at minimum two people here complain about sorting problems. This is making me want to return my device simply because the UI is so horrible, but no other apps will produce as nice of sound. I can't use folder view, because the tracknames are cut off in the middle of the file instead of using a sidescrolling animation to show the rest of the filename or viewing the track tags for each file when you open a folder. It cuts off so short I can't tell which track is which.

The software design decisions of this app are very poor. I applaud the hardware, but they really need to get this app up to snuff to make this $800 price tag worth it.

I'll see what I can do.

Please please please, instead of hacking more special cases, just group and sort by the Album Sort Order and Album Artist Sort Order tags. This is exactly what they are there for, and devices that respect them sort music perfectly. It should also be vastly easier since you won't have to implement any logic to do the sorting.

Has anyone compared R6 Pro with A&K AK70 MKII? Which one sounds better?

I have both and the R6 Pro is so much better it's a joke. Unless you've been taken in by the marketing around A&K, their players are nowhere near the value for the dollar. And their EQ is laughable compared to MSEB, so if you don't like the A&K tone you're going to have to suck lemons.

Very good answer, thanks very much

Hi everybody. There is an option to show lyrics in settings. I turned it on but I don’t see any lyrics. I have txt files in the same folder with songs. Neutron player in my iPhone shows lyrics but hiby doesn’t

Joe, nice to meet you again)
Do you know will r6 support bluetooth receiver function? It is very useful feature
My dx208 supports it but my r6pro doesnt

I have asked for the same feature, but Hiby confirmed that the bluetooth receiver function is not currently implemented in the R6 Pro. They might be able to add this feature via future firmware updates....

I suppose the bluetooth reception feature is implemented on their Mango OS side? The R6 doesn't have a split OS because we make Android bit-perfect

@Joe Bloggs: Will the R6 Pro pre-orders in the US still ship by the end of this month, as promised?

I was given a date range within this month just yesterday

There is currently a limit to the length to which the app would implement alphabetical search order. Extending this won't be a hack I suppose

What do you mean? There are metadata tags for sort orders, all you have to do is sort alphabetically by that tag!

Also putting numbers at the end is weird, idk why they decided to do that.

You are not right. This function is on Android side

100% allow Sort by Album Artist or give user the option PLEASE

This. +1 for requesting that the device will allow for this form of sorting! Will save users so much hassle when organising files.

@Joe Bloggs, please answer. Can we see lyrics in hiby player(always shows no lyrics) or we have to install another player (like neutron f.e.)?

HiByMusic only supports scrolling lyrics in .lrc files or embedded in the music file's lyrics metadata tag. For static lyrics (like text files with no timestamps) you have to install another player for now.

Today i connected the r6pro with my windows 7 x64 computer to upload some new files.

It works fine, but when i tried the DAC functionality, windows tries to install a new driver without success (see picture 1).


In the device manager (see picture 2) you can see the error code 10 - the screenshot on the left side shows the used driver files.


Also the Hiby R6 windows driver could not be installed (see picture 3).


Has anyone a solution for this issue - to my understanding a windows 7 USB-DAC device driver for the R6 Pro is needed for this additional DAC functionality ?

Please try again with the driver package downloaded from here:

We need to update the package where you got yours from--where did you download the outdated driver package?

This version 1.6.1.0 does not not work - the same behaviour as the R6 windows drivers downloaded from the head-fi R6 thread and from hiby´s website.

Did you plug in the R6pro in DAC mode before starting the installer? How does it not work?
