The stock player produces slightly better sound for me (high resolution flac files e.g. ripped with Exact Audio Copy from CD) compared to my Tidal HiFi Abo - therefore I believe that "only" the stock player utilizes the potential of the DACs. Do any tech experts have an opinion or an answer to...

Try setting the gain in the preferences of the DPX1 to mid or even low1/low2. Solved it for me when using the balanced out.

I see. Would also be too loud when using my Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 CIEM and/or my beyerdynamic T90.

They are not too loud - The beyerdynamic T1.2 has 600 Ω. Whereas the Alclair RSM CIEM have 36 Ω...

​The DP-X1A has 4 different gain levels (Low 1, Low 2, Normal and High) - for the T1.2 (600 Ω) I set it to "high" (when listening with a balanced 2,5 mm cable with my UE TF10 I have to set it to "Low 1" or "Low 2").   As volume is a subjective thing and soundfiles differ from their - let's...

​The X1A has way better battery life. More than double for me - that's why I returned the X1 and got myself the X1A.

  Long story short: DP-X1A & beyerdynamic T1.2 works very well!    I tried the beyerdynamic T1.2 with the Onkyo DP-X1A today (unbalanced). The DP-X1A has enough power to drive the T1.2... keeping in mind that the beyer has detachable cables and that there will be a balanced 2,5 mm cable for...

I might ask in the wrong thread, but I really want this to work perfectly with the DP-X1A, so I just give it a shot. I've also searching Google, but could not find what I am looking for as the search mostly returns the players specs... well... Do you have any recommendations for a good...

Thanks a lot @addyg!!! ;-)   That was it! I set the amp gain to Low and that did help. Sound is excellent now, also with Tidal.   By the way: I do not experience any interruptions when playing Tidal form microSDXC card (HIFI Abo, best quality setting possible) - this should be dependant on...

I am somewhat confused...   In order to enjoy the balanced output the DP-X1A delivers I've ordered balanced cables from Null Audio (Arete Series MKII Premium Upgrade Cable) for my reshelled UE Triple.Fi10   Now the confusing part:   1. Onkyo's "native" music player app fed with FLAC ripped...

I ordered last week for EUR 420 incl. shipping / handling. Thursday, January 12. Received it on Monday, January 16... 

After having some troubles with quick battery drainage I went through the whole settings of the device. Step-by-step. There are a couple of "push" settings included which reduce battery time... seems to be a better now.   However I just received the DP-X1A from Amazon Japan today. Been...

@MontMozart I will try this on the DPX1 next weekend. If I get this thing playing hires audio at least for 8 hours I'm happy...   @DBaldock9 ​The setting under "sound & notification --> output select" is OFF. I don't use DSP functions on hires files (flac, tidal hi-fi downloaded etc), but I...

So far I am not really thrilled with the battery life of the DP-X1. If downloading HiRes files with Tidal over WiFi cuts the battery by approx. 50% after one hour of downloading... Fine for me if that is what it is.    However even with everything deactivated (WiFi OFF, Bluetooth OFF, Screen...

I had an iBasso DX50 and now the DX90. Received the Onkyo DP-X1 about 1.5 weeks ago and honestly: I love the sound! Lossless material just sounds absolute for me. However battery life really sucks on this device. When downloading HiRes material with TIDAL over WiFi I can watch the battery...
