Thanks much for the comparison. Would you say that Qls has a thicker note presentation?
Enjoy your systemHowever, don't you find 1p2's treble too prominent and piercing with Qls?
Both have thin note presentation, but very different to each other in perception. Because ZX1 is fluid with each thin note jammed onto the next, creating a unique thin yet fluid, quick sound. While QA360 is more defined in note presentation with greater separation and neutral air between elements, creating a thin, defined, quick sound. So probably the QA360 comes across as thinner than ZX1, but also bear in mind that 360 has much more sub bass extension than ZX1 and the treble of ZX1 comes across as brighter, probably fixed in ZX2. Also when I say thin, that simply means transparent to me, I'm not a fan of the fuller note thickness most other daps have, so my favorite daps in the world would be 360, ZX2, Paw, I'm guessing the ZX2 would be the most musical of them due to the fluidity of Sony's Class D, but 360 and Paw would probably possess easier heard micro detail, better analytically.
Also I don't find the QA360 treble bright at all, sounds very balanced to me.
