Thanks for your reply. You can get a cheap android phone for like $15 on ebay.  The only valid reason I would agree with is that extra memory slot and perhaps the fast processor. For several years, I stacked my smartphone with my Apex Glacier DAC/AMP. That thing worked great but every 1-2...

Why would anyone connect the DP-X1 to an external DAC/AMP like the Mojo? Is there any difference from just using the Mojo with a regular Android phone at that point? What's the point of using a $700+ device to bypass its DAC?

  Can anyone explain how to apply the tempered glass? It's all in Japanese and it comes with: tempered glass, some other plastic casing, dry screen wiper, wet screen wiper, and a white sticker. Is there some step by step directions? I was unable to Google the product DPA-GL033 and PDF or manual...

  No noise for me on Tidal (streaming and downloads). Using Shure Se535 with custom ear molds and balanced silver cable. I have gain on low too. 

Hi All, Just got my Onkyo DP-X1. Listening first before I post impressions on here later!  I can't seem to play DTS files on the stock app. Should I just look elsewhere on the Google Play store for an app that will? Any recommendations for DTS? Cheers   PS - Thanks to everyone for posting...

    Is the Onkyo Music App in the Google Play Store Different than the Stock Onkyo DP-X1? It seems when I go to the Google Play Store, it only provides an option to "Install". There is no option to "Update" which leads me to believe that it's a separate app. If the stock app is different than...

Would you mind posting pics? Could you elaborate ? Did you put the suguru around the entire circumference ? How deep and how many layers?

Thanks! Although not sure I want / can wait for all that to happen.........

Hmmm I have one getting shipped from Price Japan. Perhaps I should return it unopened and get the US version? What do you guys think?

Thanks! Is there any gap at all with the 2mm or is it completely flush? Would you mind posting a picture?

  Where does it say in the Onkyo documentation that the balanced cables need to be R- R+ L+  L- ? This post seems to say to NOT do L+ R+ L- R- but instead do  R- R+ L+  L-  and then it will sound better?  So there are different ways to have a balanced cable and we need to make sure our balanced...

It seems there must be different 'batches' of onkyo as some have greater gaps than others based in pics in this thread. Hopefully the more recent purchases have a smaller gap - I just purchased one and will take picks when it arrives in a few weeks. However I do plan as insurance to use some...

Can anyone who got the onkyo device in the last few weeks post a picture of the 2.5mm and 3.5mm jacks? Curious to see if the newer purchases have the same wide gap on the 2.5mm jack.

  Can anyone confirm that the Sony ZX2 can save to SD card using the most recent version of Spotify?

Thank you very much for your response!!   OK - so switch to Tidal if I want to be able to download >2GB on the Sony zx2.  Very interesting that the sd card limitation appears to be APP specific in regards to Spotify and not something Sony can/should address. So SPOTIFY - get your act together :)

I read this in a CNET review of the NW-ZX2 on Feb 13, 2016:   "I own the NW-ZX2. DO NOT PURCHASE IT if you plan to use Spotify off line play lists. You can't use the 128GB USB memory OR the SD memory card. The Spotify off line play lists are only saved on the measly 2 GB internal memory. This...

These guys are able to customize this DAC cable with a USB 3.0 micro OTG male to micro male cable. $10 + $5 shipping. http://www.mimic-cables.com/products/nightscout-project-usb-cable

Hi, I connect my DAC to my Samsung Galaxy S5 via USB OTG. I have noticed that over time, the cable connector that connects to the phone degrades or becomes loose, causing the connection to drop, and eventually it becomes very annoying and frustrating. I then need to replace the cable. I have...

Can someone please explain how a USB cable can result in better sound? From: [Mod Edit: URL removed. Site belongs to a banned member.] "Anyway, as you can imagine the most important thing is whether or not it actually sounds any different or better than the cheap cable I have. In the past I...

I don't know how to mod it. Do you know someone who could do that for me? Or - perhaps I could add a female to male OTG Adapter (not cable wire, just adapter connector piece) would work?

Thanks the venture craft cable is not otg.

I have been looking for a Micro USB Male to Micro USB Male OTG cable with right angled connectors - probably spent 6 hours searching google, ebay, amazon, and contacting random sellers. And it just does not seem like anyone makes them or willing to make them.

Help! I just bought a new Apex Glacier and can't connect it to my phone. I bought the hakshop cable (http://hakshop.myshopify.com/products/micro-to-micro-otg) because I read on here that it works. However, when I connect it to my Android Galaxy s3 phone, the phone says "Connect" and then...

Where can I get a cheap all in one cable with Micro A USB OTG on one end and Micro B on the other. Goal is to connect Samsung Galaxy S3 to the Apex Glacier. Apex Glacier has one of these on their web site for $99, which is outrageous for usb cable. I found a $5 one here...
