- You may also go to Settings->System->System Updates to manually check for and download updates;
- Install updates after they are downloaded to update your device. Please make sure device is well charged before update and do not try to operate the device during the update.
OTA (Direct Transport Audio) Architecture
- The HiBy Music DTA Architecture circumvents Android sample rate conversion on a system level to reliably product completely lossless audio streams on Android;
- The preinstalled HiBy Music app may directly output DSD512, PCM768kHz / 32bit and MQA at 16x unfold; DTA provides the groundwork for all 3rd party apps to output at these same formats and rates but certain 3rd party apps may not be able to do so. owing to limitations inherent in the app (e.g. assuming the system is unable to output at those formats I rates and resampling internally before handing out audio to system).
