Thanks all for responses, very helpful - the first one was the correct one, it was that simple. Told you i was an amateur, I had no idea that all USB cables are not alike..... Ended up avoiding X-Dap once I'd done the main load, and just c&p'd files straight in. Is there an issue with this, and...- Rivet-Head

Evening All Hoping for some help - I'm absolutely stuck trying to get music onto my DP X1A, no idea what the issue is. X-Dap is working fine on my laptop, but the player isn't showing. Complete tech amateur, so I suspect something basic and embarrassing is the issue. I've stuck a few hundred Gb...- Rivet-Head

Thanks loads for this, also other reply the other day - balanced must be the answer, I use it in balanced mode all the time. Do you notice it overheating as well? Occasionally it's almost too hot to touch...- Rivet-Head

Howdo - what's the bloatware? Would explain the pisspoor battery life on my X1A I'd assume.... Cheers- Rivet-Head

There's unfortunately no cheap way round it, none of the major IEM manufacturers also make balanced cables, even if they sell detachable 'phones. Sony did at one point, but no longer. I ended up getting Effect Audio cable through hifiheadphones, budget cable is still £160 all in!! Assuming it...- Rivet-Head

That's not going to give you balanced sound? You need balanced cable- Rivet-Head

Something like this: https://www.effectaudio.com/iem-premium-series/standard/ares-ii-877.html matched to a good set of IEM's, and you're laughing. AMAZED at the soundstage.- Rivet-Head

Which goes back to my original post - it's such a stunner, yet sharp angled, and I'm really keen to get a protective case for it which does it justice, is there nothing out there other than the leatherette horror show from Onkyo?- Rivet-Head

Right, fair enough. Mine's fine, though I look after it like it was the last one on the planet so maybe I'm swerving the issue....- Rivet-Head

Haven't read the threads tbh, but thought that was the X1, not the X1-A?- Rivet-Head

Cheers - that's the same as the AliExpress one I think. I suppose whatever case it is needs to be solid to take into account the sharp edges. Might make one out of wood with a fur lining.....!- Rivet-Head

Hi - Has anyone knowledge of a case for a DP-X1A that isn't the leatherette Onkyo product, or the one listed on AliExpress? TIA- Rivet-Head
