Some of us have received the final product and initial listening is very positive, especially from such a tiny device via Bluetooth!

Is the highest setting of UAT better sounding than LDAC?

I cannot answer that question since if I'm correct, only a handful of DAP or device has UAT, such as Hiby's own R6. Using my OnePlus 6T and LDAC, I'm getting 24/96 max, but it does sound much better than direct from phone, more texture and punch for sure.

From what I understand, you can stream UAT using Hiby app, on any android device.

Yes but the version of HiByMusic that does this is still being examined on the Play Store prior to release.

I have an R6 Pro

I just got an email that it's been mailed and will arrive in a few days

I got mine today. While I'm happy with the sound quality, I do have some issues I can't seem to figure out. Firstly does anyone know where you get the "HiBy Blue" remote control app it mentions in the instruction manual? The QR code takes you to a page in Chinese which doesn't seem to contain any download links anyway. Second, in terms of the controls on the w5 device itself, how do you change volume? The instruction manual mentions many things you can do with the one button, but that doesn't seem to be one which is kind of weird.

Hey Joe, could you please provide us with a link to HibyBlue while it is not in Play Store yet?
I guess we all do want to have it as our W5s are already received.
Thank you in advance!

HiBy Blue has just made it to Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hiby.blue

Music volume is controlled via the Bluetooth signal (e.g. the smartphone volume controls). If the smartphone fails to control the volume, separate volume controls are provided in HiBy Blue.

UAT would have to wait for the new version of HiByMusic being evaluated.

Ok thanks.

Do settings changed in that app persist after disconnection or being powered off? Just wondering for my non-smartphone bluetooth devices.

Just to clarify, today i updated w5 firmware but i can not select UAT in HibyBlue settings, what am i doing wrong, we should wait for new HibuMusic app release?

Like Joe said, the Hiby Blue that supports UAT, is being evaluated, and is not yet released for download in the play store.

 

[ClieOS]

Just placed an order. Hope it arrives soon.

I hate this device, very troublesome and sensitive touch controls, battery is so so, and it drains even when kept inside the charging case. The clip thing falls off most of the time. I barely use it, i very mich prefer my ES100.

I have the W5 one week now.
On my W5 UAT is not working as expected! Hiby informed me that the Bluetooth receiver of the W5 can be
found at the bottom (clip) side. I tried to play some songs using UAT. In Hiby Music Android app in the Settings I switched on the Hiby UAT function. If I faced the bottom (clip) part of the W5 toward my Xiaomi MI8 phone CD resolution music stored on my phone was played, and the level of SQ was fine. However if I tried to play a High-Res music file from my NAS the playback was stuttering all the time even if the W5 was hold 5 cm from the phone.
Hiby Blue is now available on Play Store. In Hiby Blue someone can check the codec used (UAT for example).
TIDAL is not yet available on Hiby Music app. Hiby is trying to make an agreement with TIDAL.
I do hope that with a later firmware update these problems will be solved.
Otherwise the W5 is a fantastic device using LDAC!
I am using it with a Vorzüge Pure II+ portable amp, and they together sound like heaven!
So I am not worrying about UAT.
