IMPRESI HEAD FI: SWEET LUSH MID....
"I've owned the DTR1 and HA2 as a combo. Where the DTR1 (Prelude) was a neutrally tuned introductory player with (for me) a slight roll-off in the lowest frequencies but a beautifully detailed presentation, the Honey is almost the opposite in tonality. The H1 (Honey) sounds SWEET, rich with a much warmer presentation, more low end emphasis and that richness is also in the mids with a far more emotional, lush vocal presentation than the DTR1. Still retains the detail retrieval of the DTR1 but is a noticeably less aggressive sounding device. The H1 also sounded wider in my brief audition with slightly better layering capabilities... but then I don't find the DTR1's soundstaging abilities to be much above average. Power wise, the H1 via 4.4mm has around as much power as the DTR1 and HA2 amplifier combined.
4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm, line-out and optical out (which I find odd) on one side and a USB-C data input AND a separate USB-C power on the other. I would have liked to have seen some sort of digital input for use with a digital transport but for mobile, tablet and laptop users, this is a great portable device. Build quality is top notch and solid. Nice satin blue finish, solid weight. At least as good as other devices in the $500 mark and above. "
