And that’s a bad chip? I have no idea

What means bad? If it works, that already not bad) But yes, it's rather old chip.

someone earlier on mentioned that he is having trouble with the bluetooth connection on his device. So i am wondering if this is a common issue which could be related to a "bad" BT chip, meaning with known performance issues, or if could be a defective unit.

Any ideas?

IMHO 90% of troubles are software problems, but I can't precisely say...

I poorly worded my opinion.
I think the BT chip is poorly implemented. FiiO Q5 has the same one and it's working flawlessly.
I think the wifi chip is bad, as it's always the case with cheap chinese electronic devices (smartphones for example).. + poorly implemented.

BT chip is CSR8645, wifi don’t know

It seems, that Wi-Fi chip is Broadcom BCM43438 (found related files in firmware dir)

If this chip is used for WiFi, then it must be the BT chip as well since it has BT 4.2 as well. Google retrieved the following spec sheet and behaviour complies with R3 wifi behaviour:

BCM43438 chip doesn’t support aptX, obviously. Then for BT, probably, uses additional chip with aptX.

Why is R3 limited with 24bit in 384kHz flac format? I converted all my DSD albums to 384/32 flac and deleted originals because they did not support embed album art and track gain.

I have album art in all the DSD files and they show up fine?

Use TagnRename to update the tags

Likewise DSD album art works fine for me as well. I use Mp3tag.

I used the Mp3tag, but the album art does not show in foobar2000 with DSF and the DFF didn't even allow to insert it.
It's extra hassle to manage/ update multiple music folders, one for PC, another for portable DAP and 3'rd for larger DAP.

Maybe look at the size of the art. Sizes over 1000 x 1000 can cause issues and not display

For aux input, simply need to change to the line out mode. On the latest 1.12 firmware, it is available in the menu when dragged down from the top. It is the 2nd button from the right, bottom row. It is only available to press when something is already connected to the 3.5mm jack on the R3.
After pressing the button, press OK to the prompt that appears. That should turn on the line out mode

Thanks a lot, it works!

I had the R3 for one week and i sold it right away. The interface was way too slow especially when using tidal.

I can see the experience effected you dearly. My suggestion is to go to pastures new. Never never look back.
