Early 2017. Got mine in February from Moon Audio, new click wheel, Moon Audio were very helpful in confirming that.

Regarding your original question. I came to the QP1R from an iBasso DX-90. There were several reasons, but a big one is that over the years I owned the DX-90, as I also listened to a lot more music on capable non-portable headphone systems, I started getting tired of the ESS Sabre treble "glare." The QP1R's sound is neutral without glare. It might feel a bit clinical to some, but that's how I like my sound in general. I've used my QP1R with IEMs, Etymotic ER4PT and now InEar ProPhile 8. Again, reference sound rather than more colored bass-heavy or "romantic" sound.

Two other things that sold me on the QP1R were the two microSD slots (I have lots of music) and its relatively small size. I don't particularly like the user interface, but it is not a deal breaker for me because I mostly listen to individual albums.

So, if I lost my QP1R :triportsad: I'd likely get another one, as nothing I've seen reviewed in the last year meets the trifecta: 1) neutral sound, 2) high capacity, 3) small size, regardless of price. For instance, the high-end Sony DAPs are either limited in capacity (128GB) or super big&heavy(&expensive).

Thats great im a pure class hifi guy, my main home system is Krell and ribbon speakers so i want the clean type of sound so now it seems the QP1R is exactly what I want, thank you for your honest views

Also a lot pf my music is DSD and HD tracks so capacity is a must

Sooo looks like im buying one today, whoo hoo

Right, that's what I have. The scroll wheel takes a bit to get used to, but once you get it, it does not slip, unlike the old version.
