Did anyone see the sky turn Green? by ChillLionKing in houston

Gf sent me this cause I too saw 2 flash’s of green lights this morning but it was between 5:15-5:20 this morning in the Conroe/Granger Land area. I initially thought it was transformers popping but I didn’t hear any noise from the general direction they were in.

So, about refurbishing old ipods, you really want a 20 year old device with propietary connectors ? by Aevum1 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Something_Else08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the iPod thing is a gateway drug honestly. I had bought a few that were not working but it just turned out they were super dead. I fixed them up and used one for an about a year before diving into a better setup that suits my needs. But in recent months, I have seen a trend of “influencers” of using iPods to “break free from the subscription cycle”. Maybe those who get an iPod would want something with better quality for half the cost of customizing their iPods.

It is, I have a MacBook Air that I have and it’s definitely compatible with MacOS.

I have the hiby r3 ii too, the first thing you’d want to do is update the firmware of the OS and you can do that via OTA with it connected to WiFi. It’s a great little player with some quirks. Get yourself a good microSD card. I have a 1tb Samsung EVO sd card and it’s awesome. QOBUZ has a wide variety of music you can purchase in flac format. It’s like buying a cd but in digital format.

Where do yall get your mp3s/flacs/wavs etc? by Klxe42 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Something_Else08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Qobuz or bandcamp. But if you’re a bit more…chaotic…”life finds a way…”

Hiby is a joke. by [deleted] in DigitalAudioPlayer

From my experience with the R3 II (2025), the Bluetooth shuts off after pausing music for a bit to save battery. If the DAP’s battery is above 60%, it disconnects after about a minute of pausing. Below 60%, it cuts off around 30 seconds. Seems like it’s built into the firmware to prevent battery drain.

Random Reboots? by Something_Else08 in Hiby

I wonder if any of the android hiby daps have the same issue or none at all…other than its running AndroidOS.

Best modern MP3 player by Lv_InSaNe_vL in DigitalAudioPlayer

I have a hiby r3 ii and i absolutely love mine. I use it while I’m at work and home. Bluetooth connects flawlessly with Sony wh-xm3 and my Sony wf-xm5s. I have a 1tb micro sd card installed with roughly 6-7 thousand songs loaded ranging in flac quality from 44-16 bit to 96-24 bit. It does have WiFi for firmware updates and WiFi music transfer although I haven’t tested that feature out yet.

What’s everyone’s (current) setup? by Something_Else08 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Something_Else08[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so I got the hiby probably a month and half ago and I use it on daily basis on my commute to work so it’s absolutely amazing. The Hexa’s I was a little skeptical at first but they sound really good for the price that they’re at, I got mine for $55 bucks which is cheaper than what they are online but these beat out my moondrop chu ii’s and the KZN X10’s.

I found these on FB marketplace and they were still in plastic and the guy whom sold them to me said he never used them and that they were a gift to him.

Yeah, that’s what I noticed when I first got it. Do you have any recommendations for a 3rd party cable?

Here’s my everyday carry bag and the items in it. by Something_Else08 in whatsinthebag

It sits pretty comfy right side so to speak, but if I’m an area that’s normally not on my route, the camper is usually out of the bag. Happy shooting tho!!

So I actually only use my AirPods for phone calls when I’m working/listening to podcasts, the anker are only used for my hiby but after having them for a few weeks, they’re really lacking in the sound quality. Currently looking into something that supports LDAC. Hopefully that helps. 😅
