Here is my setup

just as a transport? why not just a regular cellphone? or maybe the computer in the background?

Transport as well as using R3, Mojo and Deckard with LCD-2.R3 and Mojo is more portable better quality than V30+ alone (best phone for audiophiles).

Here is my setup

What USB cable are you using to connect the Mojo and the R3 (sorry if you have mentioned this already somewhere)... and does it leave the volume active on the R3?

Question...Is the r3 MQA decoding done prior or after Bluetooth processing? In other words, can I send my decoded MQA via Bluetooth to my Bluetooth headset. (Since v.2.1, my MQA is working perfectly via headphone out.)

Remember to buy it from Alibaba. It does not leave volume active. I preferred audio quality with USB-C to Micro USB output than USB-C to Audio output to Mojo (Shanling cable I think).

Do you have a link for this otg cable?

When I’m trying to play MQA with mconnect it will play one song of the playlist then say that the render does not respond and I have to go and reconnect the R3. Anybody know why?

 

[dbaker1981]

And now the option to connect the R3 is gone. And even though I select masters on my R3 they play as flac. I thought it would play MQA.

I don't think all Masters are MQA encoded. Some of mine show MQA when playing and other show flac. I think this was discussed awhile back in the thread.

Thanks man I will check it out. If you have the URL that would be awesome

Guys, any leads for online sellers of HiBy r3 case?

I prefer rubber or gel types over leather.

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the Shanling L2 cable is doing differently to bypass the internal volume control on the R3 when connecting an amp/dac (especially with the mojo)?

I am trying to connect my iDSD nano black label to the R3 and have tried the Apple OTG cable and the iFi OTG cable and both leave the volume active on the R3 as well as the low/high gain settings.

To my ears it sounds much better in high gain but then there is little room to adjust the volume on the nano black label because even with iEMatch it is too loud as soon as you touch the volume.

I have no specific information but I think it's safe to assume that the R3 has 2 different digital-out pins connected to the USB-C.
What is not clear is whether the digital signal is exactly the same when EQ is switched off and volume is set to 100%.
With early FW there seemed to be a difference between the Shanling L2 and the HiBy coax cable output, but I could not hear a difference after one of the updates which came in early summer.

I did a quick test with the Mojo, and yes, SQ is better when R3 output is set to 100%. Reducing the R3's output to 30% and increasing gain on the Mojo leads to a more compressed, less airy sound.

output r3, do you mean the maximum volume to connect it to the mojo?
