QA660-SD Card WAV APE FLAC MP3 24/192 transport

cowboyab · 31st December 2012, 02:42 AM

Still remember the QA550 SD card WAV player? now the new generation QA660 is coming, QA660--SD Card WAV Hi-Fi Digital Audio Player

new functions: WAV 24bit/192KHz, ape, flac and mp3 support, up to 128G SD card

desktop type design, better power supply system and sampling clock circuits

Price is higher than QA550, is there anybody using it? Any comments on if the extra money paid worth it or not?

$100 vs $550 ? I'd like to see some scope measurements on the output to see if it is worth it.

A system with good scope measurements does not mean good sound, especially in the HiFi world.

Not very fair charging westerners $150 more in price when they sell for
$400 on the Asian market .

I live in Canada within 2 hours driving to America.Canadians pay 20-30% more than Americans for the same thing on the market, is that fair? The bigger market get better price due to the volume of goods.

I am talking about QLS charging westerners more as QLS charges more on its English site than the common TaoBao online buying website , not how far you have to travel and the US buying power .

My point is the market size determined the cost of one product, thus determined the price that the customers have to pay.

Your point is common knowledge my statement still holds as you can if you know how to navigate Asian TaoBao purchase this unit for $150 less than
the QLS English web store which has nothing to do with the market size .
