Review: Questyle Audio QP1R - With Multiple Headphone and IEM Pairings

[moedawg140]

Nothing but great service from Questyle, as I was one of the three people who had an issue with the scroll wheel as bSquared64 previously mentioned there were three with the issue, and I received a replacement without any worries.

Now, off to sleep. Good night, or morning wherever you may be reading this in your area of the world.

Can't remember the issues. Did it fall on the ground and wheel popped of?

I'm also one of them with good experiences considering customer service!

Since you don't remember, read and you will find out.

Good night.

  Thanks for your reply, let's wait what Cayin comes up with. Regarding price, haven't been able to compare DAP's myself, depending on online shops (and reviews) abroad mostly, not much is sold in local shops over here. But what you are saying is that the i5 is a great DAP, especially considering it's price? (Let's continue this discussion in the i5 thread...)

 
Yep, take a look to the i5 thread. But you wouldn't go too far if you say that the i5 is one of the best performers in terms of value for money.

It was my dealer that gave the advice for leave it charging for 6h after reaching 100%. I think he also mentioned to charge via wall socket. So maybe this is one more option for you.

As I sadly don't have much time for listening music these days, my player hasn't reached the anonymous 13% (when my player was shutting down), after my 6h plus charging. I will report back for sure, when time has come

Final update ... leaving the unit charging an additional 6 hour past 100% to reset the battery indicator doesn't work. In my test I left the unit charging 18 hours after 100% using an A/C wall charger rated at 5V & 2.4A. My QP1R still has a screwed up battery indicator. This morning it read 69% when leaving the house and died after 15 minutes. When I got to work and plugged it in to recharge it read 34%.
 
Can I make a software suggest? Would it be possible to add a 'Usage Timer' .. in other words keep track of the hours the unit has been playing? With a manual reset. No need to have this 'timer' tied into the charging/battery part of the software. This would be an additional way of knowing when to recharge. This seems easier to do then fixing the battery indicator.
 
My problem is, I am old, and have issues keeping track mentally of exactly how long the unit has been on.
 
On another point, I will be receiving 2 of those new Sandisk 256GB micro cards this weekend. You know where they are going ... don't you. I have filled up the 200's that are already in the unit. I should be able to hold my whole library of 16,000 songs now. Life is good ...  until I hit the next 20,000 song limit ...
 
Also coming this weekend is my Schiit Magni 2 Uber ... I'll be trying that with the QP1R
 
Anyone here ever use one of those modded Fostex T50RP headphones with the QP1R?  I'm thinking about getting a mk2 modded version I saw on a site (Argon from modhouseaudio.com)

Anyone found the volume knob to have quite a bit of play in it? My new unit seems a bit looser than I would expect.....

As for the battery inaccuracy: mine is like 90 means 80, 80 means 60, 70 means 40, and 60 means 20 % battery left. Kind of like: 50% is in reality 0%. I always double the drain which is shown

Yep ... Volume knob is suppose to be that way

Thanks ... It's like having two clocks in your household and you need to really compare the two to know the real time ... I had a crazy aunt who had all her clocks set to different times for only god knows why ... It drove me crazy

That was my initial impression as well when i tested the QP1R before buying it , the most important thing is that the volume knob works perfectly contrary to the battery indicator 

 .
Major disappointment today : I switched my unit off this morning with battery indicator at 28% (?!)  before i entered the shop to buy the sony MDR-1000x . The unit wouldn't turn on , i had to resort to my philips gogear raga for initial testing.

The Battery Thing is just annoying, good thing tough that the player plays music for the right amount of time.
I'm curious if my replaced unit will also have this battery problem.
Still wondering if it's software or hardware issue. Not everyone seems to have it. Still somehow I'm hoping it's software and they can fix it for good

Has anyone investigated a holder for car use of the qp1r? Not personally a big fan of the suction cup window things. But other than that am open to suggestions.

New qp1r owner and big thanks to Bruce for helping me set mine up at The Source AV event last weekend. Good guy and got to meet Moe as well. Both are very nice people.

What kind of price for the 256GBs?

Absolutely adoring this sound, after a great week at work (quick pic):
