Ok, I rebooted the device. Then finally managed to update the HiBy app (obviously you have to ignore some security warnings, the device finds its own app suspicious). Then removed the 3rd-party apps. Rebooted again and re-installed the 3rd party apps and had the library re-scanned. Now...

Quite happy with my new setup of Hiby R6III paired with Sennheiser IE600. However, I noticed that 3rd party players have issues. Mediamonkey is scanning all files, but cannot play. Neutron doesn't scan the library at all. The HiBy-App says "update available" but cannot update.

mine arriving today.... complete new setup with my 3 day old Sennheiser IE600..... first substantial upgrade for me since over 5 years...

Battery of Hiby R2II said to be 1000mAh.... probably it's not a proper combination then as an Iphone has a 4000+ mAh battery...

Considering buying a Go bar and an Hiby R2II as source for it. Or would the ifi suck to much juice from the R2II? I don't want to charge every 4 hours....

Any signals for a R3 Gen2?

thanks, sounds quite impressed. I never heard the Avalon, but was very impressed when I auditioned the Atlantis. I was hoping the Eden would be an slightly more lively Atlantis.

so what´s your first impression?

no impressions yet about the Eden?

regularly doing that (as the tips anyhow always becoem unsightly very fast as the design is a total earwax magnet). Also washing them with warm water and mild soap from time to time. Ok, assume this certain pair has reached is lifespan.... anyhow perhaps thinking of custom eartips. Currently...

Happens more and more frequently that when taking out the earphones that the tips remain in my earcanals. Given the deep insertion this can be a quite scary situation, especially if it happens when not at home with no tweezers around. Is tat because the eartips getting softer over the time?

What might be an "upgrade" from the ER4 XR? In the upper $1k - $3k price ranges? PP8

ok, so I think I will wait for M3x. Obviously the above really means an M3x is in the making, furthermore I find the announced specs for battery life a bit disappointing. So i wait for M3x then with hopefully Dual DAC, dual card slot, at least 15 hours battery life and 4.4mm balanced. Also...

just one question: Last time I bought the M2s. Happy. Then the M3s was released which i would have bought as Iliked the specs more (balanced, etc). So could the same happen again that I buy a M2x only to find out two months later that a M3x is being released?

very, very interesting. Shanling doesn't disappoint with value for money DAPs. Still liking my old M2s. Any word already about output impedance? No 4.4mm balanced and only one card slot though

5BA driver model (Eden) incoming, seems can be ordered from March 1st. No further specs available yet.

I think you would waste some money. If you pair with Mojo you hear the Mojo. And it doesn't matter what the source is. If you want use Mojo you can use the M0 as transport. You are feeding a digital signal in the Mojo and that is the same regardless of the source.

yes, people might hear differently. But if the same people listen to a SD5 plastic and an SD5 wood shell they won´t hear a difference because technically there is none. But being universals maybe the tips are not sitting exactly as before. So there are various items which could lead to different...

You have to be accurate here. As a fact nobody can hear a difference because there is none. There are just some people who wish to hear a difference and therefore their brain tells them that there is one.

There is no difference in sound. Any encountered experience of difference is pure imagination (maybe the brain wants to hear a difference although there is none) I tried the PP8s.

Big thumbs up to the guys from InEar. They send me the PP8s for trying without asking any deposit whatsoever. It is a great IEM, exactly the step up from the Etymotic ER4XR but keeping the tonality. Unfortunately for me the fit was horrible, painful after 20 to 30 minutes. So I either have to...

any updates on the E1000? Will they be available still before Christmas?

yeah, but in that albums then most probably tracks are left out which have different contributing artists. I have tagged all my albums properly, so if I select "Bruce Springsteen" as album artist I should see the solo albums as well as albums with the E Street Band, with the Session Band and...

950KB is really, really small for proper artwork.... Does the library handle "album artist" or only the useless "artist" tag?

German distributor "hopes" to get it still this year. How can there be no confirmed dates yet?
