Silly question. I play music on this device 90% of the time using Amazon Music HD. Today I was using the HiBy app and it seems like I was in a shuffle mode. How does one turn shuffle mode off permanently?

Also wondering how many people using the native HiBy app vs. UAPP (which I do have).

By the way even though I was using a regular old fashioned redbook file, not a hi res file, it was a great listening experience. The R5 is a very pleasant and musical unit.

I have both but like other users here, I find UAPP to be swifter, especially in terms of displaying album artwork in a list.
A recent update to the Hiby app did noticeably speed up artwork display, but it still lags behind UAPP.

I prefer the UI of UAPP over Hiby Music, and can hear no difference in audio quality between the two.
I navigate using folders with both apps.

I use UAPP as my daily player.
I'm currently using Hiby Music solely to create a definitive 'best of' playlist from the 64 volumes of Dusty Fingers I have in FLAC, so the Hiby app is convenient so I don't 'lose my place'.


In all honesty, I'm a little disappointed with the Hiby app. You'd think that their own software would be the best option to use on their own player, but in my opinion, it isn't.
But obviously, that can change with future updates, and hopefully will.

In an ideal world, I'd like the customisation and UI of Poweramp, the audio features qualities of UAPP and the Hiby name!

Where do most of you get your music from? I paid for UAPP not knowing that you need to have music downloaded. I thought it worked similar to Hiby app and tied into Tidal.

So where is a good place to get music online?

Has anyone bought one of these custom cases for the R5 or R5S from Aliexpress?

I'm quite tempted.
The choice of colours for case and lining is bewildering.

UAPP works with both Tidal and Qobuz for streaming. Just need to add your credentials in the menu.

Ok, search Aliexpress for Hiby R5 custom case.
The seller is called Easecase.

I have an Easecase for my A&K SP1000M. It's well made but not as form fitting as I would like. For the R5, the Dignis case is easily the best, but $$$

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Dignis, but buying cheap isn't always the best option.
I've read positive comments about the Dignis case, and yours is adding more weight and tipping the scales towards me spending the extra money to get the best case.
Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Yet more weight added to the scales,
Thanks for the photos.
That black case would work just as well with my gold R5!
