The problem with poweramp may not be the fact that it isn’t bypassing android resampling, but rather that it does its own resampling…I like the app on my phone, but found I couldn’t disable its native sampling when trying to use on my Fiio Answer from PaintDrinkingPete on reddit.com

r/Hiby on Reddit: App recommendation for local music with R4 + bad audio quality.
June 5, 2024 -

As the title says, what apps are you guys using to play local music from SD cards?

For TIDAL / Spotify etc, the R4 is great…… however, finally moved my 15k song music library over to a micro SD card and my experience with this device has plummeted. Like a lot….

I have Poweramp pro from my android days, seems a bit better than Hiby Music, which crashes all the time. I have to restart the device just to get playback to work.

Also having issues with awful audio quality, this is using both my IEMs OKZ x HBB and my Meze Classic 99….. I am unable to use HiDef output on either Hiby Music or Poweramp…

It’s getting to the point I can no longer recommend this product to anyone, which suck as I was full of praises initially.

To also add, if I plug in my ifi Flask DAC into the R4 it sounds amazing…. But I should not be needing to use a 2nd DAC with a DAP that has a built in DAC… the reason I purchased it.

February 13, 2025 - Running an open Android 12, the R4 does not use the latest Android OS but functions well. Slightly “behind” the R8 II and M300, the software is still impressive. Google Play is included since the default language installed (including the browser) is Chinese. HiBy recommends that you use the Google Play store to download authorized apps ...

HiBY R4 - By geeks, for geeks
May 16, 2024 - R4’s cyberpunk design element extends beyond the hardware, permeating deep into the OS’s aesthetic as well. HiBy provides a set of themes that match R4’s different colour schemes. The themes also include custom logos for commonly used applications like Apple Music.

March 29, 2024 - Click to expand... I disabled the Hiby Music app the day I got the R4. I prefer UAPP. With the Hiby Music app disabled and "Pure Audio" mode engaged, UAPP is the focus app, and other apps cannot be used.

May 11, 2024 - The HiBy R4 comes with their own skin of android 12 which seems to be mostly barebones aside from the HiBy music player and other related apps which is fine because those are probably the music centric apps you're going to be downloading and using anyways.

r/Hiby on Reddit: Video apps supported for the R4?
June 7, 2024 -

Hello, I'm looking at purchasing a Hiby R4 but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted by googling. Besides music, I also want to play videos when I'm traveling. I've seen stuff on Google listing various music streaming apps. But I need to know if I can also use this for Netflix, Vudu, movies anywhere, or even YouTube. Would anyone be able to let me know if. 1: You can install those apps 2: the overall experience with playing videos off the device Thank you.

May 2, 2024 - The sample rate is always visible on the right side of the notification bar, and the LED light above the screen lights up in different colours, depending on the sample rate. The streaming apps work flawlessly with bit-perfect playback. One exciting feature of the HiBy R4 is the option to flip the screen and have the audio jack on top or bottom, depending on your choice.

November 10, 2024 - The HiBy R4 comes pre-installed with the Google Play Store, which expands its utility. Classical HiBy Music features, like MSEB and PEQ, are available system-wide, giving you freedom in sound tweaking even outside the HiBy Music app.

r/Hiby on Reddit: Just got the R4. Which App should I use to play my FLAC files?
October 9, 2024 -

Just uploaded my FLAC library to the DAP and it wants me to choose an app to play my files through. What one would you recommend? I currently have VLC installed but happy to take recommendations for any others you find work best.
