I've been playing with this thing for a couple weeks now, and it's perfect. Perfect size, super clear sound, genuine streaming capabilities, my perfect idea of a modern DAP. Even the "small" 32 gigs of space doesn't bother me, as I don't need to take the entire catalogue with me. The only way it could improve is a volume knob, but that feels like nitpicking.

"Who is this for?" Ngl, me. Especially with the update about the volume. I spend a lot of time walking and traveling, and I like having a second device so I can put my phone away. Modern smartphones are just too damn big for use like that imo, and I like having a device that can use both streaming services and my local files. I have no use for a balanced output and really like Hiby's other budget devices, so I hope I can get the money for this before Hiby decides to discontinue it.

I am not fully through you review to be honest, but to be honest. I have returned two differed units because both units, I noticed Volume Rocker would not function while the Media Player ie... Tidal or Spotify were open. It would only work correctly when the apps were open and face front. My S10E working as a sorta DAP works better.

Can you do a review of the Phinistec S7. I bought 3 of them black friday at sale price. Tested one and it is very good. Decided to keep the other two. Software needs quite a bit of development but the sound is actually pretty good! Dual ESS dac under with a 3.5 inch screen and quality for under $100 bucks. I bought mine on black friday for $83 bucks each.

A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Can it be used as a transport? 2. Actual battery life for bluetooth and transport use?, not sure what uptime means. 3. I have the Sony NW-A55, it only has single ended at 75mw but can power most of my iems very well, maybe output voltage is lower on the Hiby? Thanks.
@PrimeAudioReviews

1. I don't think so. I tried it with a dongle DAC and couldn't get it to work. 2. AFAIK uptime means continuous playback. 3. Probably.

Just ordered one from Amazon. Hoping this will be a good replacement for my Fiio M6 as the battery on it doesn't last very long anymore, pretty much have to charge it while I use it or it drains in a few hours. Also the Fiio is pretty sluggish in Poweramp and general UI usage. Was thinking of buying the Hiby R3 II G2 as a replacement but cant use Poweramp with that, with this I can. Also, I only use Bluetooth streaming to portable speakers or to my car stereo. I have tinnitus in both ears from playing guitar standing in front of a 4x12 for 30+ years plus tons of concerts with no hearing protection so I wont be using headphones or earbuds(cant stand earbuds). My hearing is shot and I have to turn treble up on everything I listen to in general so not a 'HIFI' guy. This seems almost tailor made for me since I have all of my music on a 1tb sd card. I have 640GB of MP3's (50k plus songs) which is my entire collection in 320k (good enough for my blown out ears) and I like to be able to take it around with me wherever I go. Only drawback to having that much on a card is that it takes Poweramp forever to scan or update the music library when I add new albums.
@PrimeAudioReviews
@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад
This should be just what you need. The UI is heaps faster than the M6.

@admgloval 7 месяцев назад
@@PrimeAudioReviews Got the device in yesterday and updated firmware, loaded PowerAmp and got it setup with my sdcard and have to say this device is PERFECT for my use case! One nice surprise is that it is MUCH louder than the Fiio M6 through BT! I always thought the M6 was too quiet, especially through BT in my truck. Now there is plenty of extra volume which is especially needed for albums from the 70's/80's before the loudness wars commenced. Happy with my purchase!

hello there! How is the bluetooth performance on this device? Can you usee it as a receptor for a smart tv or PC, just like the qudelix 5k or fiio BTR5? Also, is it possible to use the M300 as a usb dac for a PC? I am considering going for a small android dap to replace my Shanling M0 pro, the tiny screen ended up being a dealbraker for me, otherwise its a great device. I am right now considering the M300 or the shanling M3X. Wich one do you guys think Its a better all round device to use as music player (flac files and spotify), Bluetooth receiver and USB DAC? I use mostly Iems like moondrop chu 2, 7hz dioko and ocasionally grado sr80x. Thank you
@PrimeAudioReviews
@PrimeAudioReviews 5 месяцев назад
Hi Bluetooth performance is good. However, I was not able to receive Bluetooth--only transmit. Maybe I'm missiing something but I can't get it to work as a Bluetooth receiver. For flac and Spotify, the M300 is excellent. You might also consider the HiBy R3 II which does work as a BT receiver.

@corbalan12
@corbalan12 8 месяцев назад
I'm pretty sure that's what Hiby was thinking with this DAP, won´t be surprised if they release soon a dongle DAC which fits perfectly at the bottom of this one, charging you around 100 quit but adding an extra 2.5 mm output with more power... If you think about it, don´t take the sound part of it, it is kind of the best DAP in the market: the only one with Android 13, probably the best processor (665), really good size... Only for 200 quit. How can be the sound the worst part of a DAP? Because even conecting a 100 quit dongle DAC still cheaper than the competitors, with newer android and beter processor. Is the way to go, M300 + dongle DAC
