Hi-Res Portable DAP A New Chapter in Hi-Res Source People's view on high-end audio has changed in recent years. It seems a little old-fashioned just sitting in front of those heavy, complicated traditional audio systems in a fixed room. While what is happening outdoors is really incredible. Fashionistas are now enjoying high-end, lossless music by carrying a top-notch portable player and a decent pair of headphones. QP2R, a well-designed and crafted high-end portable player with excellent performance, is from Questyle. As the "engine" of an audio system, the current mode amplifier, with fully discrete and topological structure, achieves ultra-high sound performance close to the recording scene that makes the audience really move. Meanwhile, based on current mode amplification technology, users can get a much better listening experience from QP2R than other devices when matching with their own headphones or speakers, which although may not be the original ones paired. The current mode amplifier can achieve excellent specifications. For example, the THD+N can easily reach ultra-low level at 0.0002% - 0.0005%, which is tens to a hundred times lower than ordinary professional devices, challenging the physical limits of audio testing and providing a perfect listening experience.

I bought this from another online retailer, but I've got to give this player some love here on Amazon.
But first the bad. The UI is basic. That's kind of OK, I don't make many demands on it, I just like to play albums one at a time all the way through. But there's no album art visible when you scroll through the list, which makes finding something good to play more difficult. Also, you get only the top half of the album cover displayed on the screen when the music is playing, which is pretty lame. However, the worst fail is the steering wheel, taking up half the real estate on the front face, which is apparently some kind of a nostalgia thing for the old iPod classics. Now, in their day, the iPods were pretty good players; but their day is long past, and the steering wheel is just ugly. Plus, and more importantly, it doesn't work unless you stick on a (supplied) rubber ring, which makes it look even more ugly. Pretty poor for the price you're paying. For me, they would have been much better off with a full sized touch screen - Cowon, for example, have got this down pat nowadays. So if you need a good UI, this, sadly, ain't the machine for you. The QP2R is also kind of clunky. It does fit into a coat pocket, but it won't do either your style or your seams any good.
But when it comes to playing music, this machine is just wonderful. It simply smokes my next best player, the Cowon Plenue R - OK, it's about twice the price of the R, but I'm a Cowon fanboy and it's not even close. You're getting all the music, not just a reproduction.
Most of the time, I listen to the Q2R with Beyerdynamic Xelento earphones, and the combination is immaculate. Any genre, any time, any place; it makes me happy. It also functions extremely ably as a source in my desktop setups. With full size headphones, it doesn't always go as loud as I would like, but there's no sense that it's struggling or hardening up, no thinness in the sound either.
I think what I like most about this player is how, when I listen to albums on it that I had previously written down as lacking in musicianship or poor recordings, it brings them back up. You can hear the limitations still, but it brings the music through it all. It's kind of like they used to about a good stylus, that it's better at getting underneath surface noise on vinyl, but with a less obvious technical explanation.
You know, I'm really struggling to find ways of describing how good this player sounds without resorting to cliches. A saying that I read somewhere that fits the bill here is that good music can make you smile, but great music can make you cry. Yes, I know that sounds pretentious, but it's the territory that the QP2R takes you to and guides you through.

As I bought this from a different vendor for $599 in November 2020, brand new, user interface is pretty basic, still learning it, wish it would shuffle like my Sony Walkman hi res player where the battery is dying. However, the sound quality that I bought it for, in unparalleled. The matching case, sold separately, is a must. If sq is important, don't hesitate to get it.
