I bought it. I’d like to know if you’d think about making one with openings for the USB wire to travel inside the case and back out the other side. There should be room between, on the side as the Mojo has little feet and both devices have curved edges. That allows for the Mojo to be mounted 180°, so the headphone jacks could be pointed down. That way I can put it in my pocket with the R3 top facing down and the headphone wire on the Mojo pointing up and out of the pocket. Anyone could still mount the Mojo normally as the clamps holding the case together would still attach either way the user wanted.
Currently I need to flip the whole thing around to look at the screen every time I take it out, and then again I must flip it around again to place it back in my pocket.
Also the case around Mojo headphone jacks holes could use a little extra meat/plastic next to the outside edge close to where the clips go under. The clips crate pressure right there, where there is the least material. Mine alredy broke there the first day. The 3D printer I used warned me about it. But I don’t know anything about 3D design.
Hi Julien! Thanks for the feedback!
I will think about it this week and see if I can come up with a solution!
Let me just answer the part about the stability here in the forum: It is crucial to use the right material for the print, in this case PETG as pointed out in the description on Cults3D.
This is similar to the material of plastic bottles, tough and somewhat elastic and my cases so far are holding up without a sign of weakness.
Anyway, I will look into it and reply to you privately.
Thanks for the encouragement! It was a challenge but I really like the result.
You can look for 3D printing services on the internet. I checked costs at 3Dhubs and they offered printing of the case between Euro 50 and Euro 300 (for aluminum!) depending on material and technology. I printed it myself in PETG, a very interesting alternative is Nylon in SLS (selective laser sintering) technology, which costs the same and should be very high quality and very tough, but only comes in white I think.
Can you please post here R3 frequency response graph from 10 Hz to 20 KHz? I know on your official website it shows -3db 20 Hz - 40 KHz but I would like to see the graph becose that is much more usefull than the written spec.
Yes, it can be used as a USB Dac if your tablet supports USB out. The M0 and the R3 have really 2 different uses. For out and about, I prefer the small size of the M0 and again, because of the small size, it can function as a very stealth Bluetooth receiver. The R3 offers many more options such as expanded DSP capability, balanced output and built-in Tidal via WiFi. Because of different uses and capabilities, I will for sure keep both.
Build quality on both is superb. The plastic protector included with the R3 pretty much negates the requirement for the leather case, whereas I consider the M0 case a very worthwhile option. If size is not a major consideration, the R3 at the holiday pricing of $149 is very hard to pass up given its capabilities and SQ. If ultimate stealth along with great sound ranks high on your list, the M0 is as good as it gets!
Hi. I bought Hiby r3 and was disappointed its sound. It haves too much bass and narrow stage. In my opinion even Shanling m1 have more wide stage. Now I am going to sell R3 and buy Hidizs Ap80. What do you think? Is it a good idea or mistake?
Not my experience.
In my opinion the EQ options of the R3 change the sound, but there is an underlying signature that I find a bit overprocessed.
Like a photo that has been processed with an HD algorithm, with enhanced contrast and bolder colors, somewhat artificially smoothed texture and sharpened edges. Tastes are certainly different but it‘s not my taste. I tried to improve the SQ with MEB but didn‘t work for me.
I compared it to the cheaper Cayin N3 and whole the Cayin does not have the clarity and boldness of the HiBy, it has a more natural balance.
I use the HiBy as source for the Chord Mojo and enjoy it a lot as transport, also tried to use it as DAP, but miss the smooth, detailed, engaging deep and natural Mojo sound everytime I do.
Long story short, in it‘s class the HiBy does it‘s style very well, but I would recommend it only to people who look more for bold than for natural sound.
Somehow I feel clumsy with V30 or V10 connecting to Mojo (it disconnects and need a reboot sometimes). R3 never fails me on it and as well as I like the sound quality of it.
