Holo Red impressions

I am getting ready to resume travel for work and fun. My older DAP and wireless earbuds both have limited battery life now. It was time to update them. Ten+ hour flights require decent music.

My Red now has delivery exception in HK. no idea what that means. hope it does not delay it

Usually Customs and temporary. Getting to be more of a normal thing.

What DAP did you order?

I think mine took 5 or 6 days after I received the same message from DHL.

Hiby R6 III. Not the most fancy by a long shot. But it hit all my needs.

  1. Not like carrying around a masonry brick.
  2. Doesn’t need to stop bullets.
  3. Fit in a jacket pocket and not get so hot that it makes me sweat.
  4. A recent version of Android, no lower than 12.
  5. Balanced out.
  6. At least 1TB storage (with a card).
  7. Bluetooth 5
  8. WiFi 5Ghz.
  9. OTA updates
  10. 7+ hours battery life

I also got a pair of Noble FoKus Mystique wireless IEM.

You say this after influencing me to buy a brick.

I thought you were enamoured with docking the brick.

Docking the Brick?
It’s right next to me on my desk. I use it in my car to great effect. Can’t wait to use it on a plane. For walking around though, not so much. I have lighter gear for that. I have a collection of over a dozen DAPs, not counting a half dozen Apples. DAPs are where I used to spend Audio money. Thanks to you I have the brick. The desktop item came broken from the factory. I shipped it back today. Hopefully a new one arrives that works properly. It’s fun as well.

When I am slumming I have an AK380 feeding Shure KSE1200 electrostats. But lately active noise reduction is my favorite with Anker Liberty 3 Pro headphones, my current fave. They work great with the brick in LDAP mode.

I actually listen to my portable gear more than my main system. If there was a portable BACCH system I could listen to my main system with headphones. A long term goal perhaps.

I didn’t know the dock arrived damaged. That’s the interesting part of that setup for me. Please don’t forget to post about when the replacement arrives.

Are you calling the R7 a Dock?

“DHL PARCEL FROM HK delivery TODAY 15:00-17:00…”

Text just popped up!

mine still in delivery exception in HK

Bummer…

…means you must be exceptional…?

Don’t forget to let it thaw out before you power it up if its frozen.
Also, keep hitting the update button until all the updates are done!

anyone know of comparison of Holo Red with Aurender N200?

I just realized that the DAP doesn’t seperate from the rest of the unit.

Doh!

Hmm… there might be a forum for this on Head-Fi! Though I admit to the entertainment value. Would really love it though if you adopted the following image for yourselves. Also counts for BACCH use!
