Good synergy

How does it work as a Bluetooth receiver for your phone? I bought the R2II to kinda experiment with it as a Bluetooth receiver taking music from my phone and going into wired IEMs but it was really laggy and dropped out pretty often.

I was able to get Blue Tooth to work with my Apple MacBook. Receiving BT.

@Redcarmoose thanks for the in depth testing. I think the R3II is probably the first DAP I can see myself using. I'd like Bluetooth 5.2 or 5.3 but at this rate that will be available in 2025.

Anyway the HiBy R3 II does LDAC perfectly, if that's the way you want to go?

I've never been interested in LDAC as consumers / audiophile demand it to the detriment of the tws operation. I.e cut out issues.

But i also half blame phones for that so a dedicated DAP for LDAC could be the answer. APTX adaptive or HD has always been good enough for me though.

Well, I tried my old Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro, The Galaxy TAB A8 and my Apple Touch iPod and none of them work? I can control the A8 video but no sound?

All I get on the R3II is SBC 0KHz?

Yeah it can be a bit buggy in my experience. Shame. I liked the idea of a btr7 that can also act as a DAP independently.

X-ONE L something who supposedly have MIM Dark Magician driver.

XSL X-One MK.II​

Review of the XSL X-one OG/MK.I

Is there anyway to know what version of the X-one you might have from the shell or package?

you could try to ask Akros on that youtube vid or TonyTex (also him) on FB.

$29.99?
But, but I thought the cable was FREE?!?
OR... Is the DSP free and the USB-C connector $29.99?

What is Moondrop thinking?! That's a deceit!

Beautiful photos, mate!

So jealous that you have R3 II with you. Mine is on a long tour across Australia now. I miss having that little DAP in my suit pocket.

Regarding the Trettire T-CP8 CD player. Infuriating CD player with really exceptional sound. A bargain in one way....a nightmare in other ways. Very attractive and very modern in looks. The sound is audiophile. Better than many DAP and stand alone CD players.....and lots of volume using my Penon 10th Anniversary earphones. On a full charge 10 hours playback. Shake the unit around and nothing skips....amazing. I'm playing a Jazz compilation....."Global Magic Magic Moments volume 4" World Jazz anthology. Sounds involving, great clarity, with enough impact and good edges to notes. But functionality has lot's of drawbacks. Bluetooth is basic and with my Sony Bluetooth Headphones, very ordinary sound. No LDAC or APTX! The buttons are impossible. I have to lift the unit to see them, and long presses and short do different things. To get the CD out when the player is stopped I have to use a toothpick to get to the edge of the CD to lift it because the centre CD holder does not release the CD when pressed, as the instructions ask. So the good is the amazing sound and 10 hours of playback, the look, the disk stability and no jumping whatsoever. Bass, mids and treble are all clear, clean, impactful and musical (you will need good earphones or headphones), the T-CP8 is definitely Audiophile in the traditional sense. The bad almost the whole handling experience. Argghhh! For those of you with patience the sound will reward you. For those of you with little patience, stay well away.....it will drive you mad.

Well, after I leaned how to use it, it’s fine, not buggy at all. Works as intended, great! I simply had to choose the codec first.

I watched your video review and I saw Hidizs AP80 Pro X next to R3 gen II. How do these two compare? Is the R2 gen II better than the AP80 Pro X?
Thank You.
