I gathered from @Jackpot77's impressions on the Audio Primate blog that it is a great reference DAP, so I will keep an eye out for your review as well.I haven't written my review yet but as a spoiler I can safely say the QP2R will replace my Opus#2 as my reference DAP.
Also, in the about me section of my blog I write a similar tale regarding being tethered to a desk and when I want to refresh my adult beverage I want to continue listening to my high quality tunes, it's all about portable for me. Some of todays TOTL IEMs are beginning to rival over ears but there is still nothing like a good pair of headphones.
Also, IEMs are the best for exercise, I laugh sometimes thinking of the price I have in my ear to exercise.
Do you exercise with your high-end gear? I really don't dare do that because of how much I sweat, especially when I am on the bike. I use my SE215 and have been surprised by how well they have held up getting soaked all the time, but I am already keeping an eye out for what might be a suitable option to replace them when they (inevitably) break. I guess stage monitors should be able to deal with sweat, but I produce an awful lot of it.
Thanks! Will be great to meet up. Just need to get a car first. (Too expensive to have one in London, plus all the driving on the wrong side of the road... silly Brits. )If 10 hrs is average in your opinion, then yeah, it's definitely average. I think I can make it probably a little longer (11-12 hrs) on the LPG's battery, where I think the AK380 runs about 8-9 hrs at most. The AK certainly drains a lot faster then the LPG when you use the (touch)screen a lot.
You're welcome and I'm looking forward to our mini meet (only a 1 hr drive) by that time.
