Not sure, this might help in the meantime: https://screentimelabs.com/help/faq/connect-to-the-internet-through-usb/

You may simply go into HiByMusic settings and turn off "Exclusive HQ USB audio access".

Well at the basic level, if Convolution is at the top, there is no sample rate adaptation before it and it will then function only for tracks of 48kHz sample rate, which is very few of them. Btw, it only works with PCM, not MQA or DSD. The best order is of course the order given in the guide :)

Just leaving this here for anyone want to try to squeeze a little bit (or a whole lot) extra soundstage out of the R4 or any HiBy R Android device...

Yes too

Just leaving this here for anyone want to try to squeeze a little bit (or a whole lot) extra soundstage out of the R8 II or any HiBy R Android device...

Hi there, Anytime a DAC is connected to the R4 via USB or coax (via an adapter cable on the USB port, sold separately), the R4 will start sending digital audio signals through the connection. There will also be a popup asking if you want HiByMusic (or any other relevant apps installed) to take...

I am indeed and I don't listen without DSP : )) (and of course such DSP is totally doable without much faffing around on the R Android series) So to get a comparison impression of IEMs that roughly corresponds with what others are hearing, I need to obtain / create BRIRs that are tonally...

Sound quality is not (only) about what you get plugging your headphones into the unit out of the box. The R4 is a full-fledged member of the R Android family and as such enjoys use of the full formidable suite of audio adjustment / enhancement utilities / plugins available to the R Android...

as far as I remember, back when I was troubleshooting the device last year and created the Darwin V2 filters to eventually be put on this unit, I did find differences / improvements with HDR on in NOS mode, too. As I say, this is a rabbit hole 🥲

Sorry for the late reply. I'd run into a rabbit hole with this enquiry and forgot to come back out 😳 But to be brief, the HDR switch is not supposed to make a difference, when the device is set to NOS.

Hi, I just tested this, there's actually not much to it, it's the custom parametric EQ, you can have shelf filters and up to 10 bands of anything even. You just have to edit the file so that the frequency numbers are whole numbers not decimals. I'll see about updating support for this in the...

Go into Settings and tap Error Report then tap back out. Look for a file called hibysdk.log in the root folder of your R4 and send to me via direct message. Thanks.

Hi, did it get stuck on song no. 80 or is it just crawling along one song every few seconds? I suspect the former, in which case there's a song with what HiByMusic would consider to be corrupt metadata in a way that it can't recover from. There would be an error log of the scanning process you...

If we bring facts (you know, those aliens that eat audiophiles for breakfast) into this discussion, let it be known as "fact" that none of these DAPs measure more than a 0.001% of anything apart from each other and nobody should credibly be able to hear a whit's difference between them...

the word was that the original films were made in lockstep with actual R8ii units with no spares. But that may be changing soon.

Unfortunately, might not blow up your R5 but it wouldn't sound right. You'd be shorting L- and R- to a common pole.

1. Yes 2. Being based on an android smartphone OS you might find it more compatible with Chromecasting OUT of the device than INTO the device...

If you mean more soundstage width, it could be with the Sound Field plugin which would counteract any unintentional crossfeed (esp. on the SE output) and replace it with *negative crossfeed* at high settings (L becomes more correlated with the *opposite* of R and vice versa) If you mean more...

Hi, just an update on this front, we did in fact hear from Roon this year, they were saying they would complete their side of work this summer. Thank you Roon and sorry for any misunderstanding.

Yes

Hi Colif, Our devices have a button combo for recovery mode. None for safe mode (so it may be activated for next boot through the android system, but not via a key combo). That's still irrelevant as the recovery mode command combo needs be pressed while the machine is off, and we never...

Hi John, I can't be the one to answer how much the R4 has over M300 in sound quality. On a fundamental level, the R4 has more powerful and dedicated DAC and amplification hardware, systewide bitperfect audio and separate SE and balanced headphone ports for compatibility with a wider range and...
