I hope so
If you haven't manually installed them yet, I highly recommend doing so

I think it's got all the information on it. Very easy installation

How is that a trick? Darwin 2.0 was released well before R8 II. I've been using it with my RS8 since the day it was released, and used it to review RS8 against R8 II. Any reviewer worth his salt would have done the same.

That's just your guess. As you can see above the person asked how to install it. And he's not even a reviewer, he's an owner. I'm just sure that Darwin 2 has been installed by 10% of owners. And if it was added to the official firmware, it would be installed by 90%+.
I know several owners among my entourage who have never heard of Darwin 2. They don't follow the forum, so how could they know about Darwin 2?
If it's not a trick, what's the problem with releasing firmware with Darwin 2? After all, they released it for another player that isn't even a flagship.

I'm sure the updated RS8 FW will arrive in due course. And you specifically mentioned reviewers when you said trick, which is what I responded to. I'm sure many owners aren't even aware of Darwin V2, although if they cared to browse this thread and others, there's a good chance they'd have seen it mentioned. It's not so much a conspiracy as it is something HiBy still needs to implement in FW, because it's freely available to anyone who wants it.
PS. If it was available in FW it would be used by 100% of people who updated their FW
You can't have V1 and V2 on the same device.

Hiby really should get moving and implement the changes officially. It's sloppy/lazy of them not to on a product we paid so much for. Especially given how long the Darwin V2 filters have been around now.

Just received mine back from service, can confirm popping and crackling noise is now long gone. Finger cross it will not reappeared.
Hiby did not charge me a penny for this service even after my warranty is expired. Really appreciate their customer support services!
Btw, anyone here using rs8 LO to DSP for car entertainment source? What do you think about rs8 LO?

Lucky you. I got charged, and died two weeks after repair.

What could be the cause of rapid battery discharge while the DAP is turned off?
Faulty caps I'd imagine? Battery should not deplete at all.when powered off.

Not an expert but this is an issue of 99% of all DAPs actually.
TVs and similar sources have that sync-delay settings built in.
On PC you can try software like VLC to cope with that.
See for example this example article
