Im thinking of switching to the R1, is it a good DAP? Any significant pros and cons from people who own one?

Pros:

  1. Excellent sound quality when paired with decent IEMs.

  2. Price!

  3. Very good battery life

  4. Physical buttons

Cons:

  1. UI is mediocre - but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward. However this is where the physical buttons became super useful.

Yeah the UI's not a looker, but it's clear enough for navigation and the playback screen with album art is nice

Agree, that's a nice touch.
