Got my R3, can't get USB DAC to work smoothly on Windows 10 MusicBee. Some tracks play ok some not. Is there a ASIO version or is it only WASAPI @Joe Bloggs @fanoble? Also still figuring out what MusicBee settings work to get playlist files working in R3.

So far so good - the detail retrieval for sound is good though there is definitely some processing going on with the MSEB/equalizer off The headfonia/fonics reviews hit the nail on the head about bass and treble taking a slightly different approach but coming together for a great sound.

It would be good if some of the buttons are larger - the now playing's play/skip buttons have a lot of empty space around them, and the back button at the top left is sometimes too small and triggers the slidedown panel as a result.

But this is very competent overall, will be listening and possibly writing a quick review if I have time.

I had this issue as well. Tidal wasn't working over the weekend. I could log in and see my playlists, search, etc. However, I would get the "playback failed" message. Brought the R3 to work today and it works. Could it be a network setting on our routers? Not sure as my work network is just as secure or more secure than my home network. Need to figure out why home vs work is different.

@Joe Bloggs

There are a couple of reports (in HiBy User Group on Facebook) of issues with Tidal playback -- "Playback Failed" error pops up when trying to play any track. Is this a known issue? Any fixes or workarounds?

Wonder if both networks are 5G/2.4G or just 2.4G? Sometimes 5G connects better/faster.

Bingo. You nailed it. At home I broadcast at 2.4 GHz for distance reasons but at work I use 5GHz. At work, I switched to a 2.4GHz network and Tidal stopped working.

The only weird thing is that I can and do use Tidal at home via desktop Tidal on my computer > iFi IOne on a 2.4GHz network and there are no issues with streaming.

Will play around later with phone hotspot LTE to see if that is fast enough to support a connect R3 playing Tidal. I was hoping this would be possible when on the go with no wifi available.

EDIT:
Tested LTE hotspot via iPhone X and Tidal would stream but it was choppy. I'll blame that on just not a great Verizon service area. In any case, my home network is much faster than LTE and Tidal would give playback failure error. May not come down to 2.4 vs 5 GHz in the end, but I am glad Tidal is working and I'll figure out what setting I need to change on my home network. Hopefully this is useful to some people that were also getting the playback failure error.

Arrived this pm in the UK, a cleaner sound than my Pioneer XDP-30R as detailed as my X7ii via balanced SE846. UI will take a bit of getting use to but first impressions positive time for a beer and more listening.

Holy heck, wish I found out about this DAP awhile ago. Guess that's what I get for being missing from the forums.

Anyone in EU have a spare they want to sell?

Great album!

I have not found a way to connect to dlna/Lan. Am I missng something? I have enabled the dlna option but can't see where I can connect in practice. Anyone?

Same here, on other devices a list of drives to connect to comes up.

It seems it's missing the menu tab that normal Hiby app features.
On my R6 there is a tab option named DLNA/LAN that scans your local network giving you the ability to connect to local devices.

I can't find this option in the R3 even though I have enabled DLNA in ''wireless settings''.

Great cover art!

Same here, even after the firmware update

400gb card 15000+ tracks no cover art problems

I have also updated the firmware first thing when I switched it on.
I hope we're just missing something which is in front of our eyes...
