If third party app is unresponsive to side buttons, make sure the app is running alone by itself and not any other app on the background. My Zx2 was fine with 3rd party app and side button
I'm not sure if this is a normal Android thing, but when the screen goes off (which I assume I can adjust how quickly this happens in settings) you can't slide on the screen to waken it. I read above that this requires the use of the power button. Is this an Onkyo thing, or an Android? It has to be an Onkyo thing, I can't imagine any phone needing this action to wake the screen.
^ Thanks, great feedback. There does appear to be a setting inside the music app to always leave the screen on. I'll play with that. The swipe screen feature is really nice to have (standard on Blackberry 10 and extremely well implemented), but yes battery is a concern for many people, however it was never an issue with my Blackberry Leap. Regardless I agree, why get into it. I'm not really using the device as an Android device for the most part anyway.
Very easy to use and I found the music app rather intuitive. My initial impressions are that the sound quality is excellent, but I do need some time of course.
I do think that having to constantly press a button to get a screen on could be a longevity issue, but I would need to know what Onkyo rates the button at in terms of service life in clicks. I think for me I will most certainly be leaving the screen on while playing music as I never have long sessions, usually just for bus trips to and from school, the gym, shopping outings so even if the battery only lasted 4 hours in this style of use that would be sufficient for my needs.
Pretty impressed so far that is for sure.
I'm playing it at around 139 - 143 on the single end connection. It is nicely defined and loud, but not uncomfortable at all.
I'm experimenting and using the slow filter, no EQ of course.
Glad you got yours, mine ordered on the 6th, shipped the 8th and still stuck at the damn french customs with no heads up on how long it will take
Seems pretty high volume 140/160... that volume is with which headphones and what gain?
On the XDP-100 I found filters (slow, sharp, fast) didn't change anything I could hear...

Damn, that is rough. I once had some gear in customs for a week before it was released. I also was lucky enough to not get any duties or taxes! Still, with our dollar so low this cost almost $1000 Canadian with the fast shipping and other fees. It isn't that loud, normal for me. I'm listening now at 135 and it is quite nice with the PM3s. I did think the treble became a tad softer on slow instead of what is the default, fast? Anyway, so far I really have only had a few minutes here and there of listening. Seems like the bass is quite strong on the Onkyo.
Well, I should just let it go and stop ranting about the frustration, that's life...
135 with PM-3 which are not very high impedance (26 ohm) and good sensitivity (102dB) seems pretty high to me, which gain level?
I mean that was the reason I returned the XDP-100 (EU) with my 38 ohm / 119dB S-EM9 in a quiet environment I had to go 120 to 135 on high gain...
It doesn't match the amp rated at 2x75mW in terms of volume... I listen at moderate level, always have.
If international DP-X1 is not better I'd be puzzled... balanced would get us 2x150mW without AGC for harder headphones but still, if that's on high gain puzzling...

Default filter is sharp, I had posted the marketing material about this :
Thanks for the images, I'm not sure how I missed them in the thread. The information on the filters is helpful. I like slow, but truthfully it would be nice to be able to defeat all filters. I'm not sure where the gain settings are as I haven't looked around, so whatever the default gain that is what I'm currently using. I'm still not ready to give any sound impressions yet beyond saying I really, really like what I am hearing so far. I am going to give a tiny bit of usability feedback.
So for on the go people like me, slipping the DAP in and out of jacket pockets forget using the setting I mentioned earlier about leaving the screen always on, bad idea. The screen is far too sensitive and it was impossible to put the DAP in my pocket and not have the screen respond and change the song or something like that. Relatedly, if you are like me and you are frequently needing to turn the sound on and off be aware of the screen sensitivity. It takes what, about 45 seconds or a minute for the screen to go off so if you are leaving a store and have shut the player off or paused it, remember, before going on your way after resuming play (I'm aware that rhymes) wait until the screen shuts off as per the sensitivity issue mentioned earlier.
It might be simpler than this.
mW doesn't always mean higher volume. It could be that the power implementation and DAC programming is designed to allow every frequency of music to have enough power to be seamless.
That is, Onkyo wanted to make sure that the DAP is capable of massive authority over music rather than pure loud power.
Then again my AKG K 712 are not efficient so...
