Hiby M300 Review and Impressions
I don't know where to post this, but this is the first thread that popped up when I was searching for how to solve the issue, so I'm going to post it here for others to find. Please let me know if you'd prefer me to delete it. My husband and I each got one. I haven't had any problems with mine (bought ~4 months ago), but my husband's (bought ~2 months ago) got stuck on the "HiBy digital" loading screen and would not change, even when restarted several times, allowed to die, recharged, etc. In order to fix it, I did the following: Hold down the volume up and power keys simultaneously for approximately 30 seconds until the bootloader screen appears. Use the volume up and volume down keys to navigate through the options on the bootloader screen. Locate and select the "Recovery Mode" option using the power button. Once in recovery mode, you'll see an Android logo lying down with a red symbol on its chest and the text "no command" beneath it. To proceed, hold down the power button until the device restarts. This did not result in any data loss for me. I hope this helps someone else! More on reddit.com

What's the verdict on the HiBy M300?
It's 192kHz max. And was done because it was thought that the younger target market of the M300 would understand that bitperfect is just a meme, whereas wider app compatibility, reliability and ability to multistream audio from multiple apps easily are real features. Apparently not. Source: I work for HiBy More on reddit.com

As far as I can tell, it doesn't have location and no camera. Those are the main reason for using a Smartphone from time to time.

I’m on a tight budget, so I want to be sure before spending a significant amount on a DAP. I’d like to know if they’re worth the price and if there are plenty of customization options. I love being able to personalize my devices to match my style—it’s really important to me.

I've owned the HiBy R4 for a few months now and I love it. It's my first DAP and over time it's become that I listen to 90% of my music only through the R4. Yes, sometimes there are some software bugs (e.g. a freeze for a minute - once a month), yes - the device is quite thick and you need rather bigger pockets to comfortably carry it with you. But these are really unimportant details. What I like most about it (apart from the obvious things like the 4.4mm port, physical buttons, or design) is how many possibilities there are to manipulate the sound. We have the classic PEQ, plugins (I love the convolution plugin!), or the really clearly described and easy to use MSEB. I know that sometimes people write that they have quite significant problems with overheating, weak battery, or more serious software bugs - these problems (touch wood!) do not concern me. Maybe because my R4 seems to be some revision version, because the screen resolution is higher 750 x 1334 like in the EVA version, not 720×1280 as the specification of the normal R4 version states. As for the battery - I charge it usually once every two days, or less often - because sometimes I connect the R4 to a stationary computer using it as a desktop amplifier. As for the usage itself - this is an Android device - you have the option to install any launcher and configure it however you want. My favorite is the Square Home launcher, thanks to which I can get the look of the unforgettable Windows Phone :)
