Par contre, ça fait très (trop) cher au vu de ce que ça propose, faudrait voir le son qui va avec mais je garde un certain scepticisme.

Compared to HiBy R6Pro:

The main battle as for me is the choice between HiBy R6Pro and Dethonray DTR1 for a real audiophile the only respected function for whom is the ability to provide maximum sound quality. If the rest of the device functionality matters — HiBy R6Pro is the ultimate choice with its screen, connectivity, applications and so on. DTR1 has nothing to oppose to all of that. But when it comes to sound quality, DTR1 and R6Pro are quite different and present similarly interesting sound even for the same auditory. R6Pro sound is smooth and accurate with textured and extended lows, gentle treble and thick mids. DTR1 shows the same perfect exposure on lows but does it more contoured instead of textured. Its sound in overall is much more detailed, emotional and transparent. One is for calm genres, other is better for fast genres with lots of instruments.

At this stage, even if the WM1Z is miles ahead in terms of functions, they seem pretty close in terms of SQ, while the DTR1 is much smaller and much cheaper. My main issue with it at this stage is the absence of USB DAC function, which I really need.

Don't start the huge hype train, I never think DAPS around 500-1k have a huge difference soundwise with TOTL DAPs, it is more often subtle nuances, and choices in tunning, or functionality.

Which expensive daps(you have listened to) this one outperforms in terms of sq?

I am not jumping into "A is better than B" or "A outperforms B" types of conclusions easily. It's much more complicated than that so if you're looking for a simple answer I can't help you.

I own the following DAPs right now: HiFiMAN R2R2000, Cowon Plenue L, Lotoo PAW Gold (original version), all of them cost much more than the DTR1, some several times more. If we're only comparing single-ended outputs (DTR1 and LPG only support SE) the DTR1 is certainly the most powerful while sounding musical and involving. The LPG has high power too but it sounds a bit cold to my taste. Neither the R2R2000 or the Plenue L can drive the Focal Utopia to my satisfaction like the DTR1 can in SE output while the Plenue L's 4.4mm balanced output does drive the Utopia quite alright. With well recorded music the R2R2000 can have that no-veil, raw sound that brings me closer to the performance than any of the players I have, thanks to the two PCM1704UK R2R DAC chips it has. But it's also less forgiving and a little too unflattering if you play less well recorded music especially those that are on the bright side. For me the DTR1 is more suitable for daily use as a portable DAP also because its firmware is miles ahead of that of the R2R2000 when it comes to local playback. I love the sound of the R2R2000 with good recordings but I use it mostly as a portable DAC connected to my MacBook Pro these days. The Plenue L is more neutral and more revealing but it's a bit less lively and involving compared with the DTR1. It's the best of the bunch when playing native DSD files though.

C'est sûr il adopte l'ancien style.

La question subsidiaire du jour: les DAPS chinois android vont-ils subir la guerre économique entre américains et chinois, comme Huawei aujourd'hui ? Vous avez 3h  :lool:
