I'm also disappointed that I'm still stuck to "browse files" to select my music , this is a firmware sidegrade rather than an upgrade.
Thankfully I've received a new partner for my QP1R to lift my spirits  

, after the Mee Audio Pinnacle P1 this is my second venture into high end IEM : Dunu DN-2002.


Inital impression : very good !

 
I also have the DUNU DN-2002 and agree, it's a good pairing.

Still in Prague, untested yet. Will install it tomorrow when I get back to Paris
 
I also wanted to praise the software people at Questyle for taking into account my email remarks and coming back to me after three weeks to feedback about it.

I will remain hopeful that perhaps this is simply addressing smaller issues, while they work on some of the other suggestions, such as file play through and improved UI playback options.

After all this time and still no folder play-through?  That seriously sucks!

How this basic function, can still be overlooked, is beyond what I can fathom. Ranting doesn't seem to do any good, so it is what it is. Maybe one day, if I still have the player!

Have to admit that I'm about ready to put mine up for sale and move on to something that works better with a large music library. So many really simple things that are just not getting fixed. Library limited to 9,999 tracks and a playlist function that just numbers the playlists sequentially rather than using the name I gave them are my big hits. Such great sound that is so hard to get to listen to. I guess it's my fault. If I only wanted to listen to a couple of songs it would be easier.
 
If the library ever gets fixed, I hope that they don't limit it to 15,000 tracks because I'm already beyond that.

That is why I let my own player go to a new home... Loved the SQ, but usability issues turned me off...

Now, if Questyle sold their amplification IP under licence to a DAP manufacturer that knows how to make a good UI, but has not so great sound quality (looking at you Sony!) then you really could have a giant killer.

To be fair to Sony, much of the volume issue is caused by its dsp enhancements. Disabling this increases its max volume.....but still not to hd800 drivability levels though. I actually think the ZX2 has quite an individualistic character....hifi-y and lush with a liquidy top end.

Lol about the disappointing fw upgrade, although I was kind of expecting something half arsed.

Such a good player let down by the UI. If only the Rockbox people could have a go at it...

I have a question about the sleep function. It seems that it shuts down the player regardless of whether it is in use. So what resets the timer on this function? I only started using it after finding the player dead a couple of times when I forgot to shut it off. But now it is shutting itself off while I am listening to music.

It's a bug. I once thought that it only happened with certain files. I deleted those suspect files and then re-installed them, thinking that would be a fix but the shutdowns still occurs intermittently.

 

[MrButchi]

New firmware is supposed to fix that.

New firmware is supposed to fix that.

As I said, it's intermittent, so hopefully.

I like the larger font option ... I'm getting too old too quickly ...

 

[HK_sends]

New firmware is supposed to fix that.

So, how long will we have to wait for the next one...?  I guess I'm a little spoiled from owning a FiiO...those guys work with the customers (and Head-Fi folks) directly to make improvements and turn out updates (as beta builds) in a fairly rapid manner.
Releasing beta builds with increased functionality would make the wait for final firmware a little less painful...especially if it's months between builds.  I see great potential in the hardware that can be tapped to make this a top-of-the-line DAP.
Cheers!

Ya know, I like that they enlarged the font.  Now, couldn't they install a tiny program that reads the screen in voice.
All kidding aside, I love this player; waited for ten months for it to be released.  The sound is 2die4!  Why can't they make a firmware as good as FiiO's X5.  X5I's final FW was a good finished product, even though it's a mid-fi DAC.  The play-through function would have  meant less fiddling with the buttons for me.  Sometimes, if I activate the button with a slightly less positive contact, I can get lost in the screens of the player.  I hate having to run to my son to tell me where I am.
Oh well, there's always next time.
