I'd like to know the same thing. I think Tidal is superb on the R6 Pro, both through the native app and through UAPP. Amazon Music is slow and cumbersome by comparison, and you don't get the advantage of streaming through UAPP's optimised engine.
i have also found Spotify to take up a lot of resources, hang and occasionally crash when dealing with an offline library of ~5k songs. I’ve found Tidal to take fewer resources and is generally more responsive, but I haven’t built up the massive library that I had before.
Seconded! It’s like the Lego song says: “Everything is awesome!” We have a lot of very good equipment available across a wide spectrum of price points. What really matters is what you think is awesome. As a case in point, I’m listening to my BLON-03’s instead of my other more expensive IEMs because the 03’s are fun and enjoyable.
With that being said, it really matters where you live as that will limit your access to what you can try before you buy.
Also, I’d like to add that better is not always “better” I recently picked up a Chord Mojo second hand thinking that I’d use it with my phone. HA! To actually use it and get that “better” sound, I have to put my phone on airplane mode or be driven mad with radio interference. The “better” option I’ve realised is the iPhone dongle. 90-95% of the benefit for a fraction of the cost.
Did you try going into settings in the Hiby app, then toggle “exclusive HQ USB audio access”? I’m assuming you’re using the R6pro as a source and are trying to connect it via USB to a DAC.

Hi, I just borrowed a friend's R6 pro to try out and there seems to be no sound coming out of the balanced out. Would anyone know why that is so? It's working perfectly fine through the 3.5mm SE using the same IEM + balanced cable adapted to 3.5mm.

Has anyone here heard the Ibasso DX160? I can get a used R6 pro for the same price and am wondering if the R6 Pro has any clear advantages. I don't really need more power, but I've read that the Ibasso has a lower noise floor.
No, I didn't see the "bal" logo in the top left corner of the screen. I tried 2 different cables with it and none of which seemed to work. Is it possible for a 4.4 port to stop working? It was harder for me to plug the cables into the balanced out though (tight fit). The 3.5 SE was looser.
In my opinion it doesn't need burn in. Were you expecting it to sound significantly better than the SE out? Because aside from the power advantages of the balanced out, I've never noticed a big difference between the two. They both sound phenomenal to my ears (fwiw).

I'm not comparing it to the se out
I use the balanced out simply because of the cable I got. But I guess I expected it to sound on par with the dx220 or the wm1a, I enjoy its vast eq manipulation you can do it, I like it's form factor
But as far as sound... It doesn't sound all that impressive, maybe I expected too much.
I wonder if I should return and get the wm1a... But I do like the look and feel of the device, the good Android jt has and everything else,
Using the u18t with it and am not that impressed
