Dethonray Dtr1 Prelude high resolution player

[xuan87]

Well, I tried the FiiO M11 at Canjam Singapore and didn't really like it. Not saying the dap is bad, but generally the FiiO house tuning is just not for me. The upside is that this frees up some budget for the Dethonray now that there isn't any more dap that catches my interest. I'll probably get it sometimes in late April, early May after my paycheck comes in and after a business trip then.

This may sound weird but, is it better to get this for an upgrade rather than a used QP1R or WM1A? I'm into "natural" sounding DAPs now after hearing the two. Currently, I have the DX120, it is very good but it lacks the natural sound, realism (or whatever you call it) I'm looking for.

Yes it sounds very natural, and easily as good as these two

That's what I want to hear! lol! It also suit my needs wherein just a regular player, no usb dac, bt, wifi and etc etc. Small, handy, good for sensitive iems. I guess I only now need to wait for next/full impressions and comparison to other totl. If it is still as good as wm1z, I guess blind buying would be an option for me. Maybe I'll cross out wm1a, qp1r and r6 pro for this. lol

It will have a small hiss with SUPER sensitive IEMs such as VE8, but that is the price to pay for ultra power.

May I ask, what are the other players that the designer worked on? I’m curious.

New version with 117db instead of 107 SNR

What's new again? lol

 

[Mimouille]

What's new again? lol

The signal to noise ratio is higher. So lower noise.

Because of hardware ot software changes?

Hardware as far as I know.

It's still awesome. What more to say?

Tell me in flowery words!

Oh.. so not yet the final version.

I'm a little surprised that they're still tweaking the dap. I should check with them when can I expect the final version before purchasing.

I was told the final version are ready soon, I admire the amount of tweak and adjustment they made before launch, rather then coming out with a half finish product.
