I have over 13000 tracks on my Q1 and I haven't had any issues. With the latest firmware operation is very smooth with no lag for me. Honestly it is only on the software side that I find it a little lacking but still functional for the price paid I have been satisfied. I simply miss the having that complete DAP with hardware and software equally good. Something I miss from a Sony DAP and seemingly always coming up short on the Chinese DAP's.The Q1 is a good device but it in my experience doesn't handle larger (12k+) librarie very well. Out of the box the Q1 sounds better than the A55 but the custom firmware from MrWalkman shifts the advantage to the A55.
That is it exactly the custom firmware is what is getting me to make the move along with the great deal I got. I simply found the stock A55 sound to be bland and lifeless when I demoed one a couple of years ago. With the A55 seeming to disappear quickly I simply had to pull the trigger on one now or regret it down the road. The fact it should arrive just after my birthday is a nice bonus and birthday present to myself.
