Thanks, good to know. Not a deal breaker as I would only use it for offline stuff.

I use the DLNA renderer function quite a bit to stream locally from my NAS music library... I have also used AirPlay a few times... So the R3 Pro is a better fit (for me).

Is there any other player that could do better than this one in this price range?

the equalizer is 10 band

the MSEB is also 10 band

are the sound frequencies on the bands the same on both ???

the equalizer is:
31HZ 62Hz 125Hz 250HZ 500Hz 1kHz 2kHz 4kHz 8kHz 16kHz

is it also exactly the same on the MSEB ???

More info on MSEB settings:

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hib...16x-open-android.962816/page-18#post-16945013

-- the MSEB is based on a parametric EQ:

1 -- Overall Temperature is a tilt of the whole FR line towards treble (cool) or bass (warm) Think of it as keeping the FR a straight line on a dB to log frequency plot but turning it clockwise or anticlockwise.

2 -- Bass extension is a critically damped parametric low shelf at 70Hz and below

The rest are parametric point EQs of varying Q at

3 -- Bass texture 100Hz (medium)

4 -- Note thickness 200Hz (wide)

5 -- Vocals 650Hz (very wide)

6 -- Female overtones 3kHz (tight)

7 -- Sibilance LF 5.8kHz (medium)

8 -- Sibilance HF 9.2kHz (medium)

9 -- Impulse response 7.5kHz (very wide)

10 -- Air is a critically damped parametric high shelf with corner frequency at 10kHz (which should then slope all the way to 20kHz)

The bands are in general wide enough that they blend into and affect each other evenly for you to be able to craft a wide variety of shapes.

Chosen to best capture the corresponding description, rather than taking a regular EQ with evenly spaced out bands of equal Q and trying to describe each band.

Does gapless work flawlessly on the Saber with wav files, and through the 2.5mm?

gapless only removes extra silence i think. the silence that is hardcoded into the tracks may still be there

hi guys I have a problem with my hiby r3 pro, when I try to connect it with Bluetooth with my Android car stereo, the stereo doesn’t recognise it and it will disconnected from the player. Anyone can help me? Thanks

Hi i tried the EQ setting for the first time and it didn’t work i first toggled the key then moved the dot around but no change at all !

power cycle it by holding power button down for 10 seconds

update firmware

reset all settings

try different songs

try presets

try mseb

It seems that Hiby is getting ready to release the R3 Pro S 2022. This will have the updated ES9219C DAC and a slightly new look. Unsure if there are any other updates.

how long does battery last for music playback on r3?

because it has a battery double size of my ap80 and ap80 lasts me 12hrs

Are you listening balanced or single-ended or a mix of both to get 12 hrs?

12hrs playback with flac and 24ohms over ear headphones

ap80 regular model

https://www.hidizs.net/products/ap80-high-resolution-portable-music-player

12hrs on 800mah battery

so 1600mah battery of r3 should last longer?

Damn, still haven't tried the Saber but I have it sitting here. Might just return it and get the S.
