Hey is there a way to turn off the audio fade in and fade out?

[SuperZedd]

I got mine last week. Quite a potent DAP for the price. I want the R3 Pro next.

Great review! I’m enjoying AP80 Pro a great deal! Already want the Copper though... :)

[skanlines]

Are you able to use a cable with a mic and buttons. Mine doesn’t work. Thanks

[tomblackwell]

Does file view allow you to browse by folder? I hate when devices try to organize my music for me.

[Poschmane]

Great review and precise description. Ii still wait for my ordered AP80 Pro. Do you notice any improvement in sound because of the Dual DAC?
BTW..Soundfield is Soundstage...its a nice feature if u dont want to change IEMS always.

[goldpieceleo]

I've been waiting months for this. There's a rose copper version of it.

[davimorais]

is not supported for listening to songs from Spotify?

[razvanmarcu]

Can I use ibasso dac with this one ? Thanks 🙏

[swathicm]

I have a question. Does it allow to attend phone calls as well? If AP80 pro is connected to my phone via Bluetooth, music source is phone., I am connecting my wired headphone with mic to AP80 pro. When I get a call can I speak through my headphone mic itself,

[patriciomarin]

Question, does the audio from the FM Radio also come out through the balanced output or only through the phone output?, Thanks

[fernandohoyosferreyra]

can it be used as a dual bluetooth device? like the btr from fiio that sends music from other device like a phone, and using the player as an bluetooth DAC/amp?

[remedyofficialvlogs]

Thank u for the review mate! Just one question, they say ap80pro has a high gain function? Have you encountered this? Im getting one for my birthday 6 months from now.

[NL-fele]

Can this play gapless, no pause at all?

[tonkatonksebo]

Dont you find the fade in every time you play a song annoying? Is there a way to turn it off?

[jonathansanchez]

Hey, I wanted to thank you about all your tips and great reviews! Currently have a Fiio M3 Pro and it sounds FANTASTIC compared to the mediocre USB adapter that my phone comes with, and I'm waiting now for Hiby R5, do you think it is a nice upgrade? Also wanted to ask you for some IEM recommendations, I have Tin T2 right now... I've heard a lot of Urban Fun ones but mainly wanting to hear about under 100$ recommendations from you, thanks in advance!

[TheGateux]

good review. Could you recommend me a small player with built-in stopwatch that I can use in the gym? Thank you!

[romainpannier]

Thanks for the test. HIDIZS is releasing a new product on 27th Nov... do you have some news ? A dap ?? Did you already receive it :)?

[Tomagotcha]

Hello! I think I have a good question for you :)
I'm looking for the most neutral (monitor-like if you want, so no 'enhancements', addition or substraction of frequencies) but musical (dynamics, soundstage, energy...) sounding player under $200, using only wired single-ended connection. For mysterious reasons I narrowed it down to Fiio M3K, Shanling Q1, HIdizs AP80 Pro, three very different priced items. What would be your preference in terms of above stated criteria? Did I perhaps miss other sub $200 players? Many thanks in advance and greetings from a sound enthusiast. Tom
