It's not doing anything w the power and volume up button .I tried doing power fractionally earlier and nothing

 

[Doctordoom16]

And the no command occurred w just a normal power on. I couldn't shut it down so I then did power and volume down .
My concern is that the no command on normal power up is a sign of a corrupted io and could lead to other issues .

Joe.
Could you send the link to current international firmware? Is it worth doing a clean install?

 

[Doctordoom16]

I did the power and up volume .held for 15s and it shut down .when it turned on again the no command is back on screen

 

[Doctordoom16]

It now does not power back on .I tried power and volume up and now it just has the dead Android dude and the no command .Is my unit now screwed?

For those that are still "on the fence" about buying an R6 Pro (well - I fell off the fence after getting sucker punched) with competitors announcing new models coming out in the next few months - it was a disappointment for me when HiBy basically offered us a non-discount (free case) to buy on the international release announcement.

I know that some of you have touted what a great deal it is even at the $799/$828 price point but let's have a short recap of HiBy's prior discounts offered:

Original R6 was a 20% discount
R3 was a 18% discount
W5 was a 45% discount

R6 Pro - ahhhh yes - let's increase the price by $29 then offer a $29 discount (3.5%) and a free case while our local customers still can purchase for approximately $650 USD equivalent... Joe Bloggs warned us not to expect anything significant but that was an understatement. All the rhetoric over that last several pages attempting to justify this differential pricing is just a bunch of baloney. From what I have seen in following many manufacturers over several years on the forums here I can't recall any other devices that had differential pricing like HiBy decided to do here.

Of course, we all understand that HiBy can choose to charge whatever they would like for their products and I have no issue there but I have to wonder if the changes from the R6 to the R6 Pro warrant the $229 price increase only for international customers?

And we also understand that nobody is forcing us to buy this or any other product for that matter.

So the bottom line of my post is for HiBy to reconsider their R6 Pro discount or even possibly offer special pricing for forums members here to be more in line with prior product release specials...

Would you rather sell 10,000 devices at $50 profit each or 1,000 devices at $200 profit each? Yes - one gives you a much better profit margin but the other gives you a heck of a lot more profit dollars in your pocket.

Cheers,
Tim

Well Said!!

Please press the power button ONLY for 15 seconds to shut it down / restart (press power button again to start it if necessary, again power button ONLY) and see if it works

Good hardware marred by questionable marketing method and sketchy after sales support.

But I’m getting one anyway, trying my luck. If disappointed, I will triple down and get Cayin N8 (although it’s not a “complete package” product).

If that's how you feel, why are you buying it in the first place?
If you want everything in one device and smooth operation then buy SP1000.

Size. I tried SP1000m, great size and zippy OS but not impressed with the SQ.

I am a DAP addict and like the design, I would buy one to 600$

Ok. Back on .just worried that I'm heading for a complete failure as w normal bootup the player failed twice now and needed to be rebooted. And the SD card showed up as corrupted until removed and reinserted and tidal crashed 5 times. Doesn't seem like a coincidence . should I be worried?

Hi @Joe Bloggs,

I am trying to connect my iPhone 8 Puls via Bluetooth to the R6 Pro so that I can play some music from my iPhone and listen on the R6 Pro via its headphone port. So far, I have been unsuccessful in connecting the two devices. I got the pair device pop ups on both devices, and when I press the pair button on each device no connection was made between my iPhone and the R6 Pro. Both pop ups displayed the same code on both devices? I have tried several times with the same failure result. I am not sure what else to do. Can you please help? I would greatly appreciate your help. The same issue when I tried to connect the R6 Pro with my iPad Pro.

Thanks.
