Headphoneus Supremus
I am actually using a Hiby R6pro in WIFI mode with Neutron as DLNA/UPNP renderer to be able to use the really advanced Neutron PEQ. Neutron seems to be the only one really efficient (even Qobuz) to my ears with 60 bands available if necessary (I use 10 to 12 depending the headphone), and keeping FLAC or DSD format in DAC out function to another more advanced DAC.
I use mainly mconnectHD on my iphone or Ipad as my interface between my Synology music server or Qobuz and the H6pro in hires mode included DSD with PEQ fully functionnal.
I would like to use soon an external DAC with the H6Pro and use it with an OTG USB-C hub + Topping D90 DAC (still to buy) + a Monolith THX887 as headphone amp + an Heddphone (to receive next week) when I am at home.
Of course, outside my home, the H6pro is still being used as portable gear (with an Ultrasone Ed15 Veritas for any trips, Neutron PEQ is used for Flac/Dsd files and Qobuz via BubbleUpnp + Iphone for internet connection).
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to get at the same time external DAC working and keeping the R6pro charging even if there is an external charger on the hub (I tried with my Sony WM1A as external DAC for the H6pro as a POC)
The H6Pro only can have a choice between charging via USB-C or use the WM1A external DAC out never together like I do when Hiby is used a Dac connected to my PC.
So, I am looking for a portable player that is fully compatible with Neutron (supporting Hires Audio and DLNA/Upnp renderer). It's really a pain to adjust the PEQ for the 3 Headphones I need to use (MDR-Z7M2 office, Ultrasone ed15 veritas (travel), and Heddphone at home but "staying free to move" from an armchair near the THX amp, a working desk far from the amp, or lying down farther from the amp, etc.
For the Heddphone, I will also use a 2000mv amp (32 Ohms) I already own (an Hifi PAS3+4.4mm) connected to the Hiby R6pro when I am not sitting near the THX 887.
Actually, Il seems that only those models can keep with Neutron Hires Mode beeing used to an USB-c External-Dac / Upnp/Dlna renderer but I now know, that the Hiby can't keep charging if external DAC is activated.
Any idea which model can help me to solve my issue ?
Otherwise, I will be stuck to connect the Hiby R6pro via the 4.4mm output directly to the monolith THX887... But I was expecting to move to a AK4499 and get some improvement (though I am not sure to ear any)...
