100+ Head-Fier
Really just got it. Charged it, updated the fw and loaded a bunch of hi-res files on it. Using it now with F9 Pro iems with balanced cable. Very happy with the sound. In the next couple of days I’ll try Elex balanced and Aeon open single ended. Will let you know how it goes. Aeons might be a little tough for this DAP.
What are you using with yours?
Ok, sounds good.
Got mine this past Mon mid aft. & while burning it in to get some hrs on it, close to 100hrs by late tonight or so.
Most of the day hours out I’ve been listening to my Denon AH-D7200.
At nights @ home split the time between my Audioquest NightHawks & Focal Elears, all three of those sound different in their own right.
Haven’t tried the BT with my Focal Listen Wireless yet, maybe in a few days.
It sounded fairly good out of the box sounding much better now & am really enjoying it.
I don’t use Tidal so the issue doesn’t exist for me atm.
The grey looks great as does the screen, atm don’t see any build issues & im using the included clear plastic case which I find just find, a clip would’ve been nice but not a big deal.
Battery seems to last a fairly long time & charges fairly quickly as well & stays pretty cool too.
I feel the size & weight is pretty much ideal for me & my eyes vs something like the M0 which is almost Lilliputian next to the R3 & I find that very small screen would give me too much agro.
I’ve got the time issue many have mentioned as well as a few other buggy software issues & wish list to add or change a few things but overall so I really quite like it as I had expected to do so when I backed it.
I feel confident that Hiby will iron out the wrinkles with noted issues with good fw updates when they address them & I hope they will take into consideration suggestions or recommendations to improve the feature options etc for us the user base as time goes by.
One thing I think many want or need is a real full complete detailed user manual laying out all the features/functions/options & parameters where they are, how to access them what they do if you activate vs leaving off etc. as many are not accustomed to using small mobile DAP’s.
So if would facilitate the understanding usage the maximum potential & appreciation & enjoyment of getting the very last drop of fun out of it.
At least I would like/need/appreciate it even if most ithers won’t.
