HiBy Music: documented strengths
HiBy documents local playback, Wi-Fi song transfer, exclusive USB settings and DSD modes. The Android manual distinguishes conversion to PCM, DoP and native DSD output.
MP95: capabilities and limits
MP95 plays your own files with a retro interface, EQ, ReplayGain, gapless and optional sound processing. DSD is converted to PCM; native DSD and DoP are not provided. Rate matching depends on the operating system, output route and hardware. Processing must be bypassed when checking unchanged samples.
On Android the app is free. On Apple platforms there is a free tier and optional Pro plans, including a lifetime option. MP95 does not include a streaming music catalogue. External file providers may need their own account or internet connection.
Choosing for your library
Consider HiBy for its documented USB and DSD controls. Check the Android device and DAC combination; the manual does not establish identical features in the iOS edition.

Frequently asked questions
Does “Not verified” mean the feature is missing?
No. It means this review has not confirmed the feature for the edition shown. Check the linked product documentation or ask the developer before relying on it.
Is this an independent review?
No. MP95 is our app. We link the official sources used for competitor claims, identify the reviewed edition and separate unknowns from documented features.
Can a playlist or protected download move between these apps?
Do not assume so. File permissions, DRM, playlist formats and app databases differ. Keep originals and check each app’s import and export documentation.
