Of course. I just gave it around 2 hours of listening. I'm on 1.4.02 wav firmware. I have some initial impressions but need to spend more time with it and first of all check the line out to my DIY Amp. For the time being I have very positive SQ impressions
Boot and library update is litghtning fast.
I only loaded folder with test music (converted to wav) so I don't care about the tags. But I do have one question - if I decide to buy 360 and I will load an album which is composed of 2 discs will 360 see disc number tag? For example HiFiMan 901 with latest official firmware does not read the discnumber tag and thus instead of having second song from disc one I have first song from disc two as the second song in order; in other words, 901 reads only track number tag.
BTW, did someone talk to QLS whether it will be possible in the future to have firmware identical in SQ to 1.4.02 wav only but which would play other formats as well?
Thanks to headfier andi16, I spend last 2 days on listening to 360 on 1.4.02 wav only firmware. I listened to it via HO and via LO to my DIY Amp.
I'm not going to talk about UI, but only about SQ.
I did not check DSD. I played only WAV files (which were converted from FLAC files via Foobar2000).
The most important thing - please remember that I spend only 2 days with 360, maybe if I had it for a longer period my impressions would be different, this have to be taken into account since IMHO the differences between DAPs are usually very very small (they can be easily heard, but to my ears they are not night and day or to say it more precisly I'm that kind of person who thinks that the differences between good, very good and excellent DAPs are more than 10%; all those reviews saying that a given DAP is better ten times than the other...well I will just say that I don't agree with them
; on the other hand usually I don't need to spend a lot of time to assess a given equipment although sometimes the additional time allow me to hear more pros and cons of a given equipment). Additionally, I tested 360 only with my CIEMs ie SE 5way Ref.
My experience: I owned several CIEMs like Custom Art Harmony 8 pro, Custom Art pro330v2, Cosmic Ears BA4r; I had a chance to listen to Roxanne, Hidition NT-6 and Earsonics EM32. In terms of DAPs I owned/extensively listened to Studio V 3ANW, iBasso dx90 (only 2.0 firmware), FiiO X5, iMod, ibasso dx100 and HiFiMan HM-901 w/ stock card (I compared all cards but it was a very brief comparison).
I briefly compared 360 to 901 (w/ stock card and on latest official fw) and dx100 (on 1.2.7 stock fw).
First of all, the difference between HO and LO to my DIY Amp were very very tiny. My DIY Amp is A class portable amp and is using the same opamp as 360. So most likely this is the reason why the HO and LO of 360 sounds so alike. My amp was maybe just a tad smoother and had just a tad blacker background. In opposite 360 seems to have just a tad more clarity, is just a tad brightish.
Regarding the 360 HO..I have mixed feelings. The first impressions were as follows: very detailed, balanced, very realistic, natural sounding, with a lot of clarity, playing out of my head, portraying a lot of emotions. But after few hours the sound became slightly fatiquing, slightly bright and slightly too clean
It reminds me somehow the sound of Studio 3ANW; I'm not saying that 360 and Studio sound alike but I had the impression that they have something in common ie slightly bright, impressive clarity and slightly fatiquing sound after certain period of listening (of course presentation is different; to my memory Studio played music in the head and very wide but with not so good depth, whereas 360 plays music out of head, good in widith and very good in depth).
Overall I think that 360 has balanced, organic and realistic sound, very good resolution and a lot of details, but it also has slightly emphasized highs what results in extreme clean sound (and this so clean sound is to my ears slightly artificial), it is musical but at the same time it has something in common with term "analytical", it has more or less natural PRaT (although to my taste it has just a tad too short sustain) and due to this so very clean sound it lacks just a tad the blacker background.
EDIT: I would also add that 360 has very energetic/lively sound (BTW, is there anybody who heard both Hugo and 360? if yes and if my assumption - although not supported by any real proof but it is only based on pure speculation derived from some statements on headfi about Hugo - is correct that Hugo has somehow similar lively sound than Hugo will definitely not be my cup of tea).
As for the dx100/901 vs 360 I will only briefly say that IMHO dx100 and 901 have more refined sound, in addition dx100 has blacker background and the instruments are bigger. I find that 360 and 901 have something in common and I would say that dx100 has more natural tone (but in terms of comparison of dx100 and 901 I need to spend a little bit more time with 901 as I own 901 for about 1.5 month and dx100 for about 7 months; although for the time being IMHO 901 is slightly brigther and aggresive than dx100).
