Thanks for the clarification.

Has anyone moved up the high end DAP chain and feel that they have really obtained a DAP significantly better on overal SQ than the QP1R and that the thousands of dollars was really worth it??

I think the high end DAP people won't be looking and speaking on this thread

I sent my AK240SS back, whereas I kept the Questyle QP1R. The AK240SS was $3,000 vs. The Questyle QP1R at $1,000. Price and supposed high-endedness is not the end of all or be all. For me it is all about the sound.

Pronounce as " can ".

KANN. I listened to it and compared volume matched with the QP1R. The A&K people are always awesome and I'd like to say thanks to them for being so accommodating if they are reading this.

can you share your finding about Kann

Definitely! I'd like to get a little more time with it tomorrow (later today) again before posting what will likely be my more permanent thoughts of the KANN. What I will say right now though is it isn't as heavy as I thought it would be, given its inherent size.

Stay tuned!

I'll keep my thoughts here. You can link my upcoming impressions here on the KANN thread if you'd like.

Wow ... that new Astell & Kern Kann player looks interesting... I wonder if it will sound as good as the QP1R

Interested in this player also. Looking forward to a review.

It does not sound better than the QP1R.

It does not sound better than the QP1R.

In what ways?

Also, which is more powerful?

since that is the case I already have a guess of your impression

For whatever it's worth, I sent my AK240SS back, because it sounded thin and emotionless compared to the Questyle QP1R. I kept the Questyle.
