Here is my review of the DTR1: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/dethonray-prelude-dtr1.23737/reviews#review-23078
Hi,Hi evry one !
I am new in this forum, according to the the fact that the QLS QA361 has more or less the same philosophy and same approach, I was wondering if this DAP may go a bit further than the DTR1 in terms of sound quality and power.
Any comparaisons between these two DAPS will be most welcomed, as if we add the Dethonray Amp to the DTR1, price will be very closed to each other.
Thanks for your informations.
Question. Does the sound quality of the DTr sound transfer over to the amp via the line out? More specifically, is the DTr line out having anything special to it? Have you tried another player with a good line out into the amp and is the sound comparable? Reason I ask is that I like the amp but wondering if the stack is about the amp, DTr, or both.Hi,
We live in the same country. If you are close to Zurich, PM me for a test listen of the Dethonray DTR1/HA-2 combo with your IEMs or headphones. I also have some drivers at hand if you want to compare with yours. If possible, bring your SD-Card with your own tracks and your current source. It will allow you to make direct comparisons.
About your question: Even if I never listen to the QLS QA361 myself, I have heard that it has quite an analytical/cold sound signature. As always, one or two statements are not enough and very individual... Both players are enjoying a (very) good reputation, so I think you cannot do wrong under the USD 1K barrier. I am biased, because I love my DTR and the HA-2 is bringing even more power into play (most likely more than the QLS QA361 as a standalone DAP).
Yes, DTR1 via LO to the amp. The LO from the DTR1 is very good as already reported by another member earlier in the thread (don't remember which page and member, though - it was in summer 2019, I think). My other DAP is a Calyx M, which doesn't sport a dedicated LO, only the 3.5mm HO, thus causing double amping. You get slightly more air in the highs and a kind of wider soundstage with the amp. My other amp, the FiiO A5, offers good power also, but it is more colored, a tad warmer.Question. Does the sound quality of the DTr sound transfer over to the amp via the line out?

Hello,
I'm very interested by this DTR1.
I will peharps buy one in next weeks. For now, i have a AK SR15. I hope this DTR1 will be better...
I don't use wifi, streaming etc..
I will use it with the Focal Stellia. I don't know if someone have already listen them together...?
There is one thing i always use , i always listen all my music in shuffle mode. All titltes in shuffle mode. I saw that the DTR1 has a shuffle mode, but is it possible to listen all music in shuffle ? I mean, not only an folder, album but all the music.
I owned a Lotoo PG , il loved the SQ but i have to sell it because of the shuffle mode, the shuffle mode played often the same titles, the algorythm was very bad....
This is peharps my ponly wish for the DTR1, that it have a full shuffle mode possible and if yes, i hope this mode works very well and doesn't play often the same titles or albums...
Thanks by advance for your answers...

Thanks a lot for your words and I am truly happy that your are enjoying this great combo as I doGreat review, really interesting and very similar experience to my ears. Your comments from last year had a big influence on my choices; I now have the same Final E5000 setup including DTR1 & HA-2 and have been often mesmerized at the way my music is being presented. As I mention above, the sound is still 'maturing', but constantly exciting, however if music is not well recorded.....it really stinks
Thank you very much Celticprince for your help !
That confirm what F700 told me about this shuffle mode.
@F700 : great review ! Because of you, it helps to convince guys like me to change my SR15 with this DTR1
Because of you again, the Calyx M makes me curious too...
Hi folks! I am very interested in this DAP now and just wondering, what is the maximum memory card support on it? As for playback, does it do up to DSD256? Thanks!
