Questyle increased the price, but the used one was likely bought before the increase.

The new price of $999 reflects the new, improved click wheel.

I would like to see the new click wheel. Does the QP1R looks different?

The change that necessitated a "slight" price increase of $100!

They also did some circuitry updates also.

It looks like @Netforceis on line.  Maybe he's had a chance to A/B the old and the new QP1R?

The click wheel works fine. Looks the same. I never had the original qp1r

Not yet unfortunately, probably will have a number of people able to hear both the old and new at our upcoming Source AV event.

I had try both the new and old (mine) qp1r. I do not hear any differenc myself but ask the owner of the shop, she told me is lower floor noise.

I care more about the click wheel .

I am in love with this player! Insert mini SDs with gold contacts up in the screen's direction. To my ears, this blows the AK240SS away in sound quality!

I love my QP1R but don't think I will be bothering with this upgrade. Hardly seems worth it. YMMV

I for one will be there , hopefully something can be done about my only frustration : the unreliable battery indicator.
This morning i wanted to test my new sennheiser pxc 480 on the train , my QP1R started at "78%" only to shut off 10 minutes later. Charging the QP1R at the office started at "37%" which i've become accustomed to  lately , shut off happens anywhere between "32%" and "43%" .
If it weren't for the stellar SQ  

 , I would have sold it months ago.
