Just unpacked my DC06. Sounds as good as a dongle connected to a phone of pad can be. Can't emphasize enough that it's the only piece available that comes with a Lightning cable and has a balanced 4.4 jack. So, I can get the hi-res level sound from my iPhone or iPad.

Handy portable HD music player with good sound and a convenient interface. Device is Android-based, but plays music through Sony's Walkman interface. WiFi. Bluetooth. 64GB internal memory; microSD slot (card not included). Plays most standard formats. Access streaming services via Android...

Enjoy HD sound at a reasonable price. DX300 is a high-end DAP from iBasso. Android-based, but has its own Mango music player software. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Stream music via Android. Comes with leather case. Original packaging and accessories. Also included is iBasso's new AMP13...

Great sound at a Great Price. Well cared-for WM1Z Walkman is part of Sony's "Signature" high-end line. Has Sony's warm, musical sound, and the Sony OS makes the player compatible with MacOS as well as Windows. Supports MP3, WMA, FLAC. WAV, AAC, HE-AAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), AIFF, APE, and MQA...

The hub (see link above) has analog output only, intended for that purpose. Seems a little pricy to me. It seems to me, all you would need is a USB C --> RCA converter, which are readily available.

I, too, went with the gold Sony -- and love it. Curiously, there is now a U.S. source for the QPM: Todd The Vinyl Junkie. $1,995.00. Still strikes me as too much money for what it offers.

Of course, that criteria eliminates Astell & Kern and Sony DAPs

Good point. I also wonder whether the growing HD streaming market is undercutting sales of file-playback only players.

Their website is now saying it will launch QPM at AXPONA in April. So go figure.

Where (what country?) did you buy it, and what did it cost? Also, did it come with the USB adapter intended to link to a smartphone to access streaming services?

Contacted Moon Audio. They have dropped Questyle.

My web search turns up no U.S.-based vendor for the QPR. Anybody have different results?

Exactly. Price point is now greater than A&K's A&futura line, which has those features as do other DAPs. The idea of getting those features via a link to smartphones seemed initially like a good idea, but now that Amazon Music has gone partially HD (with other big companies likely to follow), it...

Meantime, the QPM (and QP2R) are not available @ Moon Audio. As far as I can tell, the player was not shown at RMAF. Makes me wonder if the QPM is turning into vaporware. It originally announced price was high given the feature set -- and since then there has been additional Trump tariffs that...

Adding Bluetooth and WiFi will inevitably create some interference with the internal audio. So I see Questyle’s position on that. Connecting to smartphones is a decent compromise for streaming. But to make a price bump worthwhile they should have done more upgrading of the audio system, such...

Has anyone found Mac software that will sync with the X3?

  Really, X3 is a lot of player for the money, and the firmware updates have resolved most key issues. My ongoing complaint on it (and a request for the X5) is support for playlists -- as I listen to most of my music that way... Simple .m3u support, a format that virtually all computer music...

Quote: What is the limit?   I am using folders as a workaround for lack of playlist support. But I hope you will provide for playlists in future firmware upgrades.
