Perhaps I’ll buy it again in the future if they solve this because the sound of this player is really good for me.

Did you solve the problem with Tidal? Is very annoying that songs end abruptly 10-15 seconds before it supposed to end

Some tunes in M4A format aren't played at all (the problem does not occur when I play the same song in my computer using Tidal, for instance). An error message appears (playback failed: error 9). A message of file format not supported also appears when I try to view details of the music (in "view album" in Tidal). I thought it accepted all formats. What are those problems? Another bug? I've also noticed that some tunes (even in MQA) in TIDAL end abruptly, that is, they are not finished yet when the next song begins. I've browsed on the web for similar complaints and haven't found any. Have you experienced any of these problems?]]> I’ve just bought the R2 and for now I’m a little bit disappointed with it. As soon as I received it, I installed the new firmware and have been listening to some tunes since then. I have nothing to say about the sound quality of the player. Everything in it sounds great. However, there is a serious flaw when the R2 plays anything from the microSD card. When a tune finishes, the other one begins with a slight, almost imperceptible break (in fact, every tune behaves like that), irrespective of the file format. And it is very annoying. I’ve already tested the gapless, crossfade, and low gain functions, as requested by a Hiby guy that is assisting me, in the attempt to fix the problem, to no avail. Is there something I can do? Is it a bug that will only be fixed when a new firmware is available?
