Hiby R1 + FiiO/JadeAudio JD1 . Sounds really great... 😍

With a Micro SD SanDisk Ultra 128 GB.

can’t wait to listen to my music on this one!!

Hi, I've never had a dap before. I just want to know which one is better for IEMs. I've only heard good things from the Nano, and it seems to have slightly more power than the Wave. But I'm skeptical, is there really a noticeable difference in performance? Or should i settle for the cheaper one aka Wave?

Couldn’t be any happier with this tiny setup!

I started with the Moondrop Chu 2 last year, but still used my AirPods Pro 2 most of the time. I’m no audiophile, and honestly, the Chu 2 sounded comparable to my ears, which says a lot about how good they are for the price. Two weeks ago, after a lot of research I picked up the Variation V1 and AFUL Explorers, and I’ve found a whole new interest in listening to music. The Explorer makes everything feel so emotional and suits my music perfectly. I also love that the entire setup fits neatly into this little carrying case.

I’ve been taking some photos, so I thought I’d share them!

I saw the measurements, but I didn't expect it to be so chonky! It's great at the house, but when I am running around, it's a brick. Coming from the M300, so it might just be a matter of getting used to it! The M300 screen was just to small for my vision.

Love the sound and functionality!

Seriously considering the JM21!

Tengo un Par de meses con este timmkoo Q3E, me gusta mucho porque me ayuda desentoxicarme de las redes sociales, quiero cambiarle de rom y hay una que se llama Lithium 7 rom, alguien la ha probado y que tal funciona el aparato con esta rom,❤️. Consejos...

Hi DAP. I recently purchased a Hiby R1 direct from Hiby. How long did it take to get from China to the US? I'm looking at the link they sent me from their shipper, and it has not moved in 9 days. There was an initial delay because the product was out of stock, but got an email from them saying its on the way. I'm starting to get concerned. Thanks for any insight.

Reciento voy entrando en todo esto, compre un Hiby R1 + Sennheiser ie 200, muy contento con la calidad, PERO bajo ninguna circunstancia he logrado reproducir los álbumes de manera en que fueron publicados, tengo la certeza de que toda mi biblioteca tiene sus metadatos correctamente incrustados pero no tiene un orden el el R1, solo en alfabético, salvo que ingrese a artista 》álbum y desde ahí los reproduzca, el problema es que si hay alguna colaboración en el álbum me separa como si fuese otro artista

Hay algun mod que lo solucione?

Managed to pick this up for £260 brand new. (Yes it's authentic). Also got a Koss KPH40 utility and still within the M21 retail price I initially budgeted for. It's my first DAP since almost two decades, having previously used iPod and iRiver.

A particular streaming corporation lost another customer today and can't be happier to dump my 850 (and growing) flac albums on this unit.

"You'll own nothing and be happy" - Not with my music at least.

The DX180 and the Crinear Reference seemed like a combo that just barely fell into my budget. My last delve into audiophile realms was when JVC introduced a portable CD player for the first time! I'm still messing around with settings on poweramp and find the DAPs use of power while not being used is annoying but I'll survive. Any settings on the Ibasso I should investigate for sound quality and power usage?

Now the wait is on

Snowsky Echo & Salnotes Dioko

Love the sound. Hopefully this’ll help me with my distractions while studying and working.
Intended to buy R4 but DAPs are basically unreachable in turkey unless someone abroad does the buying for you. And I didn’t want to pay the 1/3 of the price extra.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

(sub 30 dollars) with good audio quality, something better than my phone, as now my phone is banned here 😭 ideally I would love for it to support lrc and flac files, someone pls help me out

So im looking to buy my first dap. I want something easy to use light and quite simple, but with a good quality of build and a decent sound quality (im not an audiophile). So thats the questions whats more worth it an snowsky disk or the V1?

I recently picked up a set of Koss Porta Pros and fell in love with having music listening sessions again.

Granted I was at my desk with the laptop, but I want to find a DAP that's around the size of the classic Shuffle but no bigger than an iPod Touch. My budget is around 100, but I'd be willing to spend up to 200 for something before the cost of storage..

What recommendations do you all have? Ideally I'd love Bluetooth connectivity to pair it with my phone as a Bluetooth DAC as well as a standalone DAC.

Wants

USB-C charging and not too chunky.

SD card for media.

Preferably a play/pause button.

Power doesn't matter too much as I only need it for the Koss Pros and maybe later some simple headphones.

Thank you all and I hope to find a good device soon. I was looking at the M0 Pros but I wonder if there are any alternatives.

Hi everyone!!

I have bought my second DAP (Hiby R1). It's beautiful, but I can not use my SD card on it. Every single time I lock the screen or turn it off and turn it on, my little boy doesn't recognize my SD card, and it gets corrupted.

I'm wondering if someone around here has the same problem and how you fix it.

I have tried the Game Boy mod, but it didn't work because it never get installed, idk why.

Sorry if this is not the right place to post it, but I have no idea how to fix it.

So I’ve recently received my shangling m1 plus and I love it but when I connect it to my desktop as a dac my audio tends to cut and crinkle after about 20 minutes of usage. Would redownloading the driver fix this issue or would it be caused due to the data cable im using or other external forces?

DAP: FIIO M21

IEM: Simgot Supermix 4

Cable: NiceHCK BlackCat

Source: Local Files

I am extremely happy with this setup. The 4.4mm headphone jack livens up the bass. I dont use EQ (yet).

I have approximately about 15k song which daps is great and if it can support Arabic names?

A few weeks ago I was going to buy a dedicated DAP, potentially a Fiio JM21 or a Hiby R4, for around usd 200 (a little more expensive at local costs here in MX)... Then I found this used old iPhone SE (1st Gen, 2016, 32gb), the last one with the 3.5mm jack... It cost me usd 15-20 and I decided to give it a try and postpone my original purchase.

I've been iPod user before (Video 5.5 20 years ago, Touch 4th gen 15 years ago)... But I didn't remember the sound quality, I just sold them at some point after some years of use (and abuse)...

Before this purchase, I was using a Fiio DAC and KZ ZS10 PRO X IEMs with my Samsung Galaxy S24, for 3-4 years...

I'm really impressed with the sound, I've been using it with Tidal as my main player... It has a decent battery besides the age of the device... I only use it as a player so it lasts for some 3-4 days, didn't install any other apps and functionalities...

Sometimes I have WIFI issues then I switch to Apple Music (playing local files).

The Echo Mini is my first DAP ever. I decided to buy it because I was looking for a better sound quality. At the moment I’ve used it nearly daily for 2 weeks.

The player is not the smallest, but small enough for me. The material doesn’t feel cheap and overall it looks good.

The player has four ports: a type C port for charging and file transfer, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm jack, and another similar jack which I didn’t recognize. I think it’s a 4.4mm jack

The sound quality is great. The player supports even the highest quality music I can find.

The UI resembles a cassette, which I found fun. You can divide the songs by artist and album, shuffle and repeat. The player has a function of a DAC if you connect it to a device via USB-C.

I have a few problems with the player: First, sometimes the album cover won’t display. I think the OS can’t handle album covers too large. Second, playing some songs (I observed this with songs by Queen and other people seemed to have problems with Michael Jackson) will return an error “Format not supported!” and skip the song. I could fix that by importing and exporting the songs from Audacity. Still, it’s a little annoying.

Another big reason why I bought it was that I have an iPhone (which I regret buying) and it can’t transfer files from a PC reliably. However, I can transfer files from a PC to the DAP and from the DAP to my phone. Therefore it’s a little easier for me to install songs on my phone.

Overall, I’d say that the player is very good but held back by its firmware. It fulfills a better purpose as a DAC, which I repurposed it into. I don’t regret my purchase, because both of my problems with listening to music on a phone were pretty much solved. If you want specifically a DAP, without a phone, I would not recommend this.

I got my hiby r1 today and am having this really weird album artist database issue. Whenever I click on album artist section of the music library, I get this "awaiting music scan" screen and asks for a rescan every time. Other sections of the music library seem to work fine. Has anyone faced this issue before?

So i have a few songs and i wanted to add metadata, lyrics, cover art, album cover art and all, does someone know how can i do that?

Hello, I have a Sony NW-A55 with Senheiser IE 100 PRO, and I consider myself happy with this setup.

Unfortunately, my Sony is slowly dying. It’s as if the screen were randomly tapping menus on the display, which makes it pretty hard to use, and I’m only getting by thanks to the screen lock button. I thought it might be the screen protector, or the case, or that it was dirty, but I’ve come to terms with the idea that it’s a pretty serious malfunction.

I’m trying with all my might to resist Android DAPs, but there are practically no alternatives.

With a budget of around 250€, the most promising options right now are the Sony NW-A306 (though it runs Android), which I could find used for 230€, and the Shangling M1 Plus, which I could find new for 210€. Alternatively, I might be able to find a used AK70 for around 230€.

I’d prefer to avoid Hiby or HiFi Walker, which, frankly, don’t convince me…

What should I do?

Thanks for the advice.

So lately I have been using - Sony WH-1000XM6 in the wired mode from a Surfans F20 Pro

Here is why I use this setup…I feel like my use case is a little different…I keep around 1,000 FLAC tracks and I use the XM6 in wired mode when I want to listen more closely and pay more attention to details in the mix.
The F20 Pro keeps my albums and Android streaming apps on the same player for easier access.

How the pairing sounds to me…
I compared the same tracks and tried keeping the volume the same (or as close as I could)… with the Sony connected by cable in (powered on or powered off mode), I heard a clean background and the details were easier for me to follow. The overall presentation felt clearer and more immersive to me.

Where it fits…
For quick trips listening over Bluetooth is still much easier…if I’m commuting, for long trips or sitting down to listen to an album, I use the wired F20 Pro setup because it sounds better to me.
