Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

I'm more interested to hear the N5ii or the recently released Hiby R6 which is most likely why development for the i5 has stopped since Hiby built their own DAP.. I'm still wishing I'd backed it on IGG.
The versatility of jumping between personal library and streaming apps was half the reason I sought out an Android DAP, so I'd like to know how the Cayin fares if you've given it a try. Thanks.
And I probably missed out on the best bang for the buck DAP released in recent months w the Hiby R6 - check the reviews as well as the specs. Sadly for i5 owners, Hiby likely won't develop anymore updates with Cayin for it due to their own R6. It was $579 I believe, which in DAP land is definitely reasonable considering what all they stuffed into the R6, IMO. the $5-600 mark is apparently the popular price-point for a current Android-based DAP that streams, stores offline tracks, plenty of storage, current audio tech, great amp and DAC section, good touchscreen and resolution, and allows 3rd party apps from G Play. I still want to hear the LG phones though, which I'd use as a DAP if I could find a used one cheap enough. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hiby-r6-worlds-most-advanced-android-hi-fi-player-music
If I had known offline doesn’t work, I would’ve just used my old deactivated iPhone 6S. If anyone finds a fix for any of these Hiby-based players (Cayin, FiiO, HiBy, maybe Shanling if they ever release an android player), please reply in this comments thread. As it stands... maybe I should just sell everything and buy a used Android smartphone with a MicroSD slot?
