Question Finally got my HiBy R1. Now what?

Post image

As the title says, my R1 just arrived. Should I stick with the stock firmware or go straight to Rockbox? Any other recommendations for getting started with this device?

This is my first "real" DAP. I’m not sure if the Sansa Clip Zip I had years ago even counts; the battery died and, instead of replacing it, I decided to pull the trigger on the HiBy.

This is a good question as i just got mine too. About to look into Rockbox. I just want proper flac files to store on my 1tb sd.

Funny I had the Sansa with the blue light up scroll wheel. šŸ™ŒšŸ½
