Interesting. I wonder why certain units perform better than others. Regardless, I still think it's unacceptable that your iPhone and router interfere at those distances -- this is a primary reason why one would choose a DAP, AND lower priced competitors don't have this problem.

I agree . The dap sure does sound damn good though. I put the R6 in airplane mode if I think im going to have a problem I download TIdal tracks and of course my own library.

lol exactly what makes this so frustrating.... I really love the sound out of this... and the Ui.... ughh

Someone said that Hiby is coming out with an adapter that resolves this issue. We shall see.

It’s strange that not all R6 Pro’s have this problem. I have no interference with mine with or without the Cayin adapter.

I just emailed them outlining my findings and asking for a replacement (long outside of MusicTecks return window) -- but they are out of the office until next week. I'll update the thread with what they had to say.

My immediate thought is that there was an issue with a production run that has since been resolved. I was an early adopter. This is just a theory though.

Is it possible for me to hook up via USB-C the R6 Pro to my Pixel 2 XL so I can play files from the P2XL through USB Audio Pro to the R6?

I think this is what you're looking for. It's $19.00 on eBay, $25.00 directly from Hiby.

I only have EMI issues if I place my R6 Pro within a few inches of my phone or tablet. I use a 4.4mm to 2.5mm adapter, but one without the wire, so the interference is being picked up by the R6 Pro’s other antennas or circuit traces. But only when near the phone or tablet. Never had anything else cause interference, but I live in the sticks, so no neighboring sources to create interference!

I also sometimes notice interference if the phone is near the player. Wondering if someone can create a 'Faraday case' for R6

Only if you can live without WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity - what keeps signals out also keeps signals in!

That's me! Still old fashioned and rip CDs. I only use Bluetooth via my phone, when I need the convenience. I wonder if there's an easy DIY fix for this, in the form of an encasement. Does anyone know anything about blocking EMI? Consider this a job posting: pro bono audio case designer.

What about turning off WiFi and Bluetooth? Haven't tried to see if that is sufficient... If it isn't then it is some circuit trace that is not properly shielded, and not the antennas...

AHHHH If this was reddit I'd gold you. I rarely need to look at the player, so this is ideal. Thanks

edit: need to find a new source for this fabric, but it clearly exists!

I think any conductive fabric could work. E.g. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14110

OK, ignore everything said before -- the ultimate solution is this. You can easily cover the stock case with it (or any small bag) My guess is that it would be enough despite the screen still being open. I will order and try.
