Yep - what Ultra said.

Great sounding DAP - but I'm really hoping that with the next firmware they start making some strides with the UI.

Here here on the progress.....tick tock

  I have about a dozen of DAPs, while the L5Pro sounds very good I wouldn't dare say it sounds better than the AKs or the X7 in example. I would rather say it sounds different: it has advantages and disadvantages.
But the FW/UI isn't anywhere near the other daps

Well I guess everyone listens to different genres and it somewhat affects one's preference when it comes to sound quality.
=P

I decided to go for 2pcs 128gb John. I'll just switch bet. them. I think its easier to load on 2 128gb's than a 200gb but yeah the $99 offer of amazon is enticing.

 
I have always found switching SD cards to be tedious, last time to tried that was with beosound 2, which I carried 3 sd cards with it. =(
 
I hope next LP5/L5 successor to have larger internal memory such as 128GB or even 256GB, so we are not that reliant on external memory. 
 
Plus, it might be cool to have SD cards instead of micro-SD, SD cards are way cheaper!

That would be a huge plus IMO.

Comparison in progress

 

 
My fried just sold his qp1r finding that "wheel" too difficult to use at times.

 

[JohnYang]

A new firmware coming soon, more bug fixes and UI improvement. 
 
No USB DAC for this firmware still, I am guess I might delay to early December. But firmware updates getting quite frequent hmmmm.

yep, scroll wheel is a disaster in QP1R

I think it's a kind of a plan by Fiio:
- Make daps with faulty wheels
- Wait while competitors do the same
- Fix wheels with update (they really made it)
- ????????
- PROFIT!

That is some conspiracy theory right there. 

 
Hows the comparison coming along?

Actually, it's paused for some time I've sent my L5Pro to Kiev, so audiophiles from the capital can listen to it.

John, please tell me Mr Wan is working on touch-swiping? 

After testing X7 and DX80, every time I get my hands on L5 Pro - I can't understand why touch-swiping is not working

 
Btw, the latest X7 firmware update scaled up that FiiO's dap to L5 Pro level, no kidding.  Just a sound quality only and for IEMs only.

50 dollars cheaper than Penno, not too bad.

LP are working on that, but not a specific time constraint on it though, unlike USB DAC they are just finalizing it now.
 
PS. Just purchased the fostex thx00, can't wait to hear how the two woodies play together.
