I can't get my HIBY R6 III to play as a Bluetooth receiver.

The pairing process with the phone (Galaxy A52) is ok, but later there is no connection. The connection attempt lasts 1 second and then crashes.

It's very frustrating not having an option to use it as BT receiver, as I needing it often in the underground.


I have another player HIBY R2II, it pairs and connects just fine with the same smartphone, no issues whatsoever

But HIBY R6III doesn’t want to work. It's firmware is the latest 1.40_20240127-1020

What to do, @Joe Bloggs? Is your device connecting?

What Jolivhires said. Also, can you describe the screens on the R6III as the BT connection fails? Or maybe a video?

Hey, there is an OTA firmware update available. (1.50)
I had no luck finding the changelog. Description is in chinese

I installed it a few days ago, have no idea what changed

The first noticeable difference is that now you can change the usb connection mode between otg and device (usb dac) and it works with s22ultra flawlessly. Very convenient!

What hasn't changed is that hiby app is still not able to play bit perfect.

come again? The HiBy app is like the last resort to play bit perfect if all else fails, lol. How is it not playing bit perfect for you?

A simple thing to do may be to clear data on the app in settings and start over.

Yes Joe Bloggs, I joined the Beta stream, am a happy camper here, had no problems yet at all with it.

Actually it did help! Thank you @Joe Bloggs!

Edit: ok, except for DSD which is translated to PCM 176.4k

Do you have earphones connected directly to the player when this happens?

Have you configured DSD for native ?

This update is a godsend. I'm very looking forward to this update to become official. The loud pop sound has bothered me for a while
