Nothing like being in the market for a DAP these days.... awesome. I owned the x7 mk2, WM1A, QP1R, obviously the QA361, AUNE m2S, and a bunch of others. Also owned all of them at once (except 361) so I compared them all pretty extensively, trying to settle on my favourite. These are all really...

Also I thought Id add that my qa361 has definitely improved imo over the first 40-50hrs. Its much less thin sounding and has really blossomed. And then I tried balanced.... Big improvement. much more coherent, solid and enveloping. Merry Christmas B%#CHES!!

Thank you mate. Actually I remember in one of your older reviews you stated you prefer the AK320 over the 380. The reason is the ak380's are on sale for $2g brand new as are the ak240's. Have you heard the SE100 sabredac? If so how does that compare to the qa361?

Cleg, off memory, you've heard the ak380.... could you give a little comparison? Ive got DAP fever and Im thinking of getting a high end- more musical - cousin for my QA361.Do you think the 380 would fit that description?

So I went ahead with the qa361. Its very impressive. I have always been a bass lover, but over the years I have come to love neutrality - done right that is.But still with a musical flavour added in. I used to think neutral was thin, lifeless crap but have realised that when done correctly, its...

words from a wise man.

Thanks mate, that helps a lot. Any chance you've heard the ie800 with O2, DX200, or QA361?

And just in your opinion, what would you recommend as the best price/quality DAP for something highly resolving but also quite musical? much appreciated.

T That would be great. There's not many comparisons in eng yet so it would help a lot of people out I think. Has anyone heard the QA361 with the ie800? Would love to know what the synergy is like with that pairing. And also if there are any other pairings that really shine?

I owned the Fiio X7 ii and the Qp1r. The QP1R was the best sounding player Iv'e had so far. What I really want to know is have you heard the QP1R and if so how does it compare to the QA361??

Here you go, found this on the net. Hope it helps. https://www.shenzhenaudio.com/qls-qa360-mod-upgraded-sd-card-hifi-loseless-dsd-player.html

That describes it very well, thank you.

Hi mate, I always enjoy your you tube reviews. my question is, is there a large increase in sound quality over the QLS QA360 MOD and the A & K SR15 norma? If you could do a small comparison to those 2 units re: sound sig and re: sound quality. Much appreciated bud.

Hi, best to message yulong himself ( emails on his website) and he’ll sort everything out for you. My advice is to upgrade to the ridiculously impressive for the price—D200- I wrote a review on it. It’s a very capable and very musical unit. It blows an obscene amount of DACs out of the water...

Love to but unfortunately can’t afford to buy a pair I’ve already owned. also my v-moda m100’s recabled occ spc and balanced are for sale for a song. Kind regards Ryan

Nice. Great to see.

Hi guys, so my review is up for those interested. Hope it helps a few that are unsure and have extra questions.   http://www.head-fi.org/products/yulong-audio-d200-32bit-384khz-dsd-dac/reviews/11265    Cheers

This is such an impressive little DAC. I've been burning mine in and waiting for my monster flagship A8 & D8 to arrive (plus been flat out with other issues). Regardless, I - in general find the 9016 chip to be the more energetic chip and the 9018 to be the more refined & neutral. So many other...

I'm doing a wee review but I have to say, with my T1's out of the xlr, this is an absolutely stunning DAC for the money. Fidelity, tonality, finesse and that haunting musicality thats manages to somehow not steer away from the truth of the recording.  All in a tiny little box that is relatively...

They both share a very similar sound signature. The DA8 pulls ahead with more clarity, fidelity & extension, as mentioned. Which ever one is more neutral or musical would be up to the user.
