I don't think it's possible on a device that doesn't support it to start with without great standy battery drain, but I can ask.
@Joe Bloggs did we ever get an answer about double tap to wake being added to the Hiby R6 Pro? That would be an awesome add to a really solid device. Also where can I get my Hiby R6 repaired in the US?

None of them have deal breaker flaws

Dx160 sounds best... but with custom firmware so you can bypass the operating system for apps like Tidal. Sound has less of a flat solid state amp effect, but has some fun surround feeling to it.

R6 Pro has the best convenience and operating system. Sounds is warm so it can liven up and synergy with some peaky iems/headphones.

Dx200.... Too many factors due to modular setup.

I personally would go for the R6 Pro for convenience's sake and ease of use.

I like my R6 Pro, but my experiences with dedicated DAPs begin and end there. But the one thing I would point out is that the R6 Pro is heavy and thick.

why not a cheap LG v30, without cellular service, as an alternative?

R6 pro vs ibasso dx160 or dx200? thoughts
The R6 Pro is an excellent DAP. I compared it to the Fiio M11 Pro and I liked the R6 Pro better with my IEMs. The DX200 and DX220 UI, lack of a decent CPU and amount of heat it generated with certain Amp cards was more trouble than in was worth. It sounded great but, your experiences may vary.

Did you work out your coax issues?
I have a couple of my own:
Won't begin to lock with my Metrum Octave via Hiby supplied coax cable.
And will lock with my Mojo up to 96k, but not above e.g. 176k or 192k via coax?
This is with an R6 Pro Aluminum

I did fix my coax issues--by returning the R6-Pro and buying an iBasso DX160, instead :expressionless:

I'm sorry for the facetious reply but that's actually what I did. I liked the R6 Pro, sound-wise, but mine had a few too many issues I couldn't bear.

And I'm sorry for the very late reply. When I'm trying to save money, I avoid this forum.
