I will not be repurchasing all my music using MQA, I just hope MQA streaming library expands, that is the only time I will care about MQA.

I'm with you. Too much history of failed hi res formats. IMHO I just don't see much adoption unless more than 25% of the current MP3 streaming crowd starts demanding. Tidal's market share indicates we have a long way to go.

I received my DP-X1 yesterday and am now looking for a case to protect it. It looks like both the Dignus and Onkyo's own case protect the back, sides and corners, but do not have a flap to cover the screen, which means the only protection would come from a screen protector. That seems like a glaring omission to me.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good case to protect the DP-X1 in a bag?

Noticed the same problem...
As it was no good proposal on the market - I've ordered one "prototype-custom-made"
from some local real-leather cases producer. It will be made according my suggestions.
 
It's going to cost about 20,0EUR. It's not so much - compared to the value of the device...
My previous device I've damaged in stupid way - simply because I did not protected it with case...
 
 
I'm promised to have it next week.
I will see what I really get.

If anyone wants some basic screen protection on the cheap, I bought this and it's totally fine.

Use the eraser butt end of a pencil to push out your dpx1 from the dignis. No scratch, easy peazy.

Given the unpredictable balanced input jack staying in the device anyone know of a short female to male balanced adapter one could use to keep connected?

Just received dignis case. It is very nice. Received less than a week in US.

I'm not sure what your thinking is. There's no reported problem with the balanced jack staying in. The issue is that the jack socket has no physical support so any flexing or strain on the 'phone's plug or cable is reflected into the weak socket and its soldered connections inside the DAP.
 
A cabled adapter would make no difference and a solid adapter would make things worse as it would exert more leverage on the socket.
 
Apologies if I've misunderstood completely.

See my post #8033, it also has the benefit of protecting the Headphone plug.  I love the fact that it completely protects the player but the previous/next/pause buttons are all accesible.

I just bought 4 right angle 2.5mm TRRS plugs to 3.5 mm TRRS with a short 3 inch attached cable.  Can't remember were I got them from but they were like $1.36 each from china. I plan on leaving this plugged in when I get my K10's.  Took about a week to get them.  (I plan on making my own 3.5mm TRRS balanced end cables).

To current DP-X1 users how does the DSD conversion tech sound to you?

I use the Dignis case but also use this this cheap neoprene case when I'm shoving the player in my backpack - Link
 
It's a perfect fit for the DP-X1.
