Thanks for your impressions. I was told by a friend DP-S1 has a smoother and warmer sound compare to dpx1 which I find sound think and sterile. Can you explain your impressions more if you can.
Sure
Merits and demerits in my opinion:
merits:
The size. It is very small. And pioneer in terms of dimensions is much more convenient than onkyo.
There are several options for selecting the volume levels. You can adjust the regulator in the reverse direction.
On the tracks goes quickly, without software delays.
demerits:
Not particularly good impression of the display. Very small resolution of display, and the names of folders do not fit the screen. But the worst thing is that the font does not change. Even the AK120, which appeared in 2013, has better resolution, and was more convenient to control.
Both players doesn't have folder playback function, and stop playing when the last song on the folder ends.It's horrible for me. On Xdp-300 or DP-X1(A) you just can change stock player.
The sound is good, but i think i need more time to compare it with Xdp-300 and DP-X1, which i have.
But my first impressions in sound was not good, as Xdp-300/DP-X1. In particular the channel separation.
