.....providing you can connect it to the Wi-Fi. As was previously mentioned in this thread the R3 will only connect to Wi-Fi if the network doesn't need login credentials or have to get to a logon page. I was hoping for Spotify but unless they can implement an offline function it's only going to be of limited use for a lot of people.

Yeah, that does limit it a bit. Offline mode will be the key for me. Otherwise it becomes less interesting, and one of my old smartphones becomes more viable.

Guys got mine yesterday, after first tracking number which I got on 16.6. got another one on 24.6 and next day the package start to move and came to Europe in two days, then two days custom procedure.
Since now very pleased with it. Also using it with Mojo, but I get nice performance also with HD800 straight from R3 at low gain - volume 90 out of 100.
Hope you will get yours soon!

Look what just arrived:
Nice little player, and SQ is pretty nice too. And it pairs perfectly with Mojo for that magic Mojo SQ. The cable is just perfect!
And one thing is VERY interesting!
The HiBy 3,5mm cable sounds distinctly different to the Shanling usb cable :-o
The 3,5 coax needs a much higher volume setting (blue vs red) on the Mojo for the same volume, and the sound balance is quite different. More (defined?) bass and treble, and generally better separation??

If you are using coax cable the output is variable and you should set it to 100 with Mojo to play louder. Was surprised when I found out, but have not tried usb, don't have the cable.
Nice Mojo case

Those of you who contacted HiBy about your shipments and got quick movement of your package: How did you contact them? Email? KS Backer page? I’d like to try what worked for you. My shipment in Hong Kong for a week without update.

I didn’t contact HiBy at all, I went straight to DHL HK, was v.polite and suggested that it obviously wasn’t there fault but probably someone else in the chain. Then within 4 hrs I had a new tracking# and 2 hrs later a duty charge mssg (£4.49) with delivery due on Tuesday. Hope this helps you out!

Case in not coming yet. I had an email saying it would not be on this shipment.
Is yours going through standard post? or courier?

Hey V so you got ur R3, when?
So thoughts so far?


After a marathon of viewing my backed up movies on pvr over the last day + woke up this morning & no R3, maybe next week fingers crossed!

I’ll leave you with this to enjoy on your Sat listening session with ur new toy & the BlackWych...

Enjoy!



Every where is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world - but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population - keeps on breeding, nation bleeding,
Still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny, bees make honey
Who needs money? Monopoly!
I'd love to change the world - but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you... Oh yeah

World pollution, there's no solution, institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor, them and us
We'll stop the war!
I'd love to change the world - but I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you... It's called luck

Thx 2 TYA...

Yes, ah those festivals!

Working on a Way Back Machine when I get my R3 I’ll plug it in & way back I go to those festivals late 60’~ early 70’s

Did you say you got/we’re getting new

 

[mikp]

Anyone able to create playlists from musicbee?

When set to relative path musicbee list it as \Alice Cooper\Alice Cooper

the slash makes it not work

Also found out the time zone goes back to normal after turning off wifi. Just changes to hk time when using the wifi transfer thing

Thanks for the information!
In that case it could also mean that there is some digital signal processing happening in the HiBy before sending out the digital signal...
I have to say it sounded good at first listen but I need to listen more critically to come to a conclusion.

Glad you like the case, it was a nice piece of work to desin that in CAD
