Wow I’m having none of those problems and my first impression is that it is a Terrific device.

Have you tried DAC mode? Do you experience pops and clicks too?
If not, consider yourself lucky and enjoy.
And try not to think about what can be inferred from this much variability over a small sample size...

If your router is using only 40Mhz channel width, try configuring 20Mhz or compatibility mode 20/40Mhz.
If the R3 has only 1 channel to transmit and receive it wont work on 40Mhz mode.

My router has no such configuration capability, as far as I can find.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I just get a chuckle out of the people who declare the device a total disaster when many people have pronounced themselves very happy. I don’t know if different reactions are based on production variability or differing customer expectations. Many is us seem to define the world based on our personal experiences - and not just in the audio realm

Thanks for not answering my question. Useless...

Well, I would hazard as guess there are many possibilities.

If you look at the number of R3’s backed from what I can tell there were anywhere from 1400-1600 +/- not including those that outright cancelled etc.

Also if you search hear & KS & vountvhow many people have actually received theirs it’s a very small number ofvthos backed & produced, or at least how many we can assume have been received as non of this is very precise accounting at all.

So it seems many that haven’t actually received theirs are venting their frustration disappointing & anger about X features & functions connectivity etc not being included are not going on 1st hand experience but hear say or 2nd hand rumoured reporting.

Also, as you eluded to, it’s obvious there are many very different needs wants desires & expectations etc & for people’s reasons for backing.

When you take all those variables & more that are I know by everyone then it’s very difficult to assume anything 100% about manybif not most posts.

I got one don’t use Tidal & obviously didn’t back the R3 for that feature as well as the issue or not with DLNA & other features or functions.
So lack of those features/functions obviously impact people that back it for that.
That goes for others reason for backing & their own specific needs etc.

Myself I’ve found the R3 by itself has plenty enough power to drive my Focal Elear, Denon AH-D7200 & Audioquest NightHawk s to loud enough levels for my hearing to enjoy all my various genres.
I’ve not yet tried the BT to listen to my Focal Listen Wireless BT.
Practically all my listening when I go outside for coffee, shopping, photography etc so I prefer not to take another piece of gear like my small JDS Labs C5 or iFi Nano iDSD headphone amp that I currently have.
Have yet to even use them at home but considering going for a high end home unit like the iFi Pro iDSD DAC/HP Amp.

So far for my own personal use & as to why I backed it I’m enjoying aside from sw issues that’ll likely addressed come next fw update etc.

Yes Spotify, PLEX etc would be really really nice & hopefully we’ll get those streaming services etc.

But with my I’m enjoying the sound, no problems with wifi connectivity @ home or cafe.

As with all else ymmv & until all R3’s are received & experience reported on after a few days/week or two it seems there’s no way to absolutely infer 100% conclusively one way or the other only by what’s been posted which isn’t a very large sample.

Hopefully all others will receive theirs sooner than later & have few issues & can enjoy theirs.

If the R3 can only accept 15000 songs why did the advertising claim the device could handle 2T of memory. Must be really big song files.

I have mine hooked up to a 1TB Flash drive and it works just fine. Use it with R6 as well as my other DAPs.

I think HiBy support should pop in and chat about common issues and timeframes to address them.

By the way I do think that the company has made good progress in the last few days to address the order backlog.

Initial listening impressions: it sounds good!

Looks like the perfect size for stacking!

It fits almost perfectly for stacking.

Sound-wise, my IE8s sound notably better from the BL Nano then direct from the R3. Both were tested with balanced output (2.5mm trrs from R3, 3.5mm trrs from the BL Nano). Want to a/b vs. the mojo now before I make a decision for either...

Finally, I got my device today

Any first impressions about the pair? Does it work fine with Black Label?

-Try resizing all your covers to 600*600 pixels. I used a windows software known as FastStone Photo Resizer. It detects all images in a folder including subfolder. ALL OF MY ALBUMS NOW SHOW ALBUM ART.
- Try changing the channel setting of your wifi router. Your channel might be a fixed no. Changing it to random/automatic might help.
- Have no solution for that.

Cheers and have a good day

I used this software to resize all Images, did not work. When I put the sd-card into my phone, the hiby-app shows all album Covers. Put it in the R3 and they're gone.

I like this device, but there are more and more problems to deal with that are really starting to annoy me.

What about Tidal offline? Any news? Thanks.

If software is the same as M2S , and cover are handled the same way , progressive .jpg cover won't display .

Don't think this is gonna happen soon. I was also hoping for offline-support for usb audio player pro, but tidal probably can't allow this for legal reasons. Someone might snitch and distribute them downloads without the tidal app being a fortress of data security...
