This product is amazing (for the ears, not the eyes ...).
I acquired this player without much hope ... And then, the big slap !!!
I use it with HD music purchased on HDtracks Qobuz or so, mostly, of 192 KHz / 24 bit.
To listen, as the context, I alternate between intra Bose (in the ear) QC20i or Bose above (placed on ear) QC3.
In this configuration, the word "string" makes sense: a source, a decoder, an amplifier and a diffuser (the decoder and the amplifier, in this case, being in the same "box").
It's ... I can not find a word ... Fabulous!
After this experience, even without scientific proof (which was the subject of my master's thesis), I confirm that you can throw all your CDs (I politely mentioned the MPEG3) !!!
After this display of praise, let me warn you about the following items (but no loss of life):
- No internal memory: you dacquƩrir the mircoSD. Up to 128GB twice that day, and only FAT32 is supported.
- The interface is not top top top ... It's an iPod, either ...
- It is a brick! The device measures 6.5 x 11 and weighs 195 grams! The very upscale so a price; but also a weight and a volume!
In conclusion, despite the three "negative" points, that player is very very very impressive if we take the trouble to acquire a good source and a good broadcaster.
After this tirade, so to summarize: go for it !!! This product is awesome!
Enjoy!
