Being an audiophile doesn't have to be an expensive hobby. And the Shanling Q1 small portable player is proof!
Audiophiles have been around for as long as we've known recordable media. Analog or digital, the source of the music is very important. Namely, it makes no sense if we have headphones worth several hundred euros at home, but play them through a cheap phone. Or not even that, as the 3.5mm headphone jack is steadily disappearing from the face of the Earth. Since audiophiles don't want to rely on multiple phone jacks, portable music players are their only solution. Since these can be very expensive, Chinese companies want to put an end to this. One of them is the company Shanling.
The Q1 compiler is a kind of bigger brother of the existing m0 player, as it differs from it only in larger batteries (21 hours of playback) and screen (2.7 inches). Although the device looks like a slightly larger Apple Watch, it is actually a very powerful music player. The internal DAC is capable of playing files in absurdly high quality, all the way up to 32-bit audio with sampling at 384 kHz. Added format support DSD128, and it will also be available for owners of wireless headphones Bluetooth 4.2. The Shanling Q1 portable player is currently up for grabs on the website Kickstarter, and the price for him is converted 81 euros.
