I have no idea what DTA is, but if it requires the app to be a system app and use ALSA, then it's a no.

This is what the dev of UAPP and he says that it cannot use the hi-res driver on the R5... anyone got any insights?

Hi Vincent.
I'm also in the UK and looking to purchase the R5.

For anyone in the U.K. thinking about purchasing the R5 , I bought direct from Hiby, the delivery was 7 days and the tax was a lot less than expected. Really nice bit of kit and does exactly want I wanted from a new music player.
Amazon Unlimited works perfectly as does YouTube music. No problems loading music from PC and I'm useless when it comes to tech stuff.
Really pleased with it

I think I edited this message after you read it to point out that this is to enable hi-res playback, *without activating the hi-res driver on UAPP*:

All you guys need to do to have UAPP play in high res (without enabling hi-res in UAPP) is
1. Go to Settings->Android Audio
2. Enable "Play through Android"
3. Set "Android sample rate" to "Variable".

In fact, UAPP is very instructive in this regard as to the benefits of HiBy DTA. It is simplicity itself for an Android app to throw unprocessed, unresampled audio at Android, expecting it to be resampled by Android's default crappy resampling, and have it be passed through directly to the DAC intact instead thanks to HiBy's engineering. Unfortunately, this is often not the default behaviour of apps, exactly because of the reputed crappiness of Android resampling of old. (it is actually very good on most phones these days, too, although fixed to one sample rate.)

Thank you very much clarification. Davy's scepticism wasn't giving me much hope

Without hope, you cannot start the day.

Ha ha , it's just a Yes song from 'Union'. And yes he was a bummer.

This is probably going to be a stupid question, but I can't seem to be able to delete files from my SD card through the Hiby app. Is there a place I need to give it a special permissions? I swear it was working before.

So supposedly the Hiby R5 supports Quick Charge 3.0. Does it display any indicator on screen when it's fast charging?

no such notifications, its just the charging time

I'm using a 2.4 amp belkin walwart and it charges in about 2.5 hours or so I'm thinking real quick charging would be really fast.

Btw YouTube on the R5 sounds amazing, I heard this song on my phone and liked the groove, and I tried to find an album or song but it's too new so I was like wait I can hear it on r5. So much better! Great bass player btw and cute too.

With lg quickcharger it goes upto 80% gets really hot though probabbly that is the reason last 20% takes a bit more time like 20 to 30 mins

It's more the hassle of returning if you get a dud or there's an issue. One thing to print off a label to return to amazon or amp 3 or whoever, it's another to return it to hong kong etc.
