And use the proper DACs?

XDA people may be able to help too

But I don't see the point of rooting this device as it is; if it works well, why "fix" it with rooting?

Because if youre rooted you can edit system settings, especially the mixer paths in the etc folder under the system partition to raise the volume a bit by increasing the lineout variable if the granbeat has it. It might not. You can also get rid of bloatware also.

Thats just to name a few.

  I received mine earlier today as well, but would not be able to play with it until Sunday. It appears to be 2 versions of the Granbeat - for HK and Japan. The difference is probably in the phone bands. Mine is the latter.

Hi,
 
do you know where to get the HK version and where to get information regarding the LTE bands of this version?

I do not think it has been released as yet.

I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks!

Do we know if Onkyo developers are reading along here? I have a few feature requests... Would be nice to know their policy on upgrading android etc.

Ok, so today I received my Onkyo Granbeat, and I'm very pleased with this unit! The SQ is the best I even heard from a smartphone, this is a real DAP. I short i can say: DP-X1 + better bass + smartphone functionality = Onkyo Granbeat - awesome device! I'm very satisfied

Congret!

Just retrieved it and my first impression is definitely positive. Sounds like a DAP (and a high quality one at that), it's better than any smartphone I have ever heard. One thing I hate is how the volume wheel i too easy to turn accidentally.

You can easily disable the wheel when needed with the little switch on the opposite side.

That disabled everything though. By accidental, I mean when my hand touched the left-top side and that slight touch will move the volume wheel. Or when I put it on table with left-bottom side first, that volume wheel is turning again. Small annoyance only really. Haha

The wait is over! Kudos to Onkyo for delivering IMO the first true audiophile smartphone.
 
I own the DP-X1 and have been very happy with it, so I am thrilled to see this product come to market.
 
Here are what I understand to be the key differences between the DP-CMX1 and the DP-X1/X1A:
 

1. 128GB internal storage vs 64/32
2. Only one Micro-SD card slot (this is the biggest disappointment about the DP-CMX1, IMO)
3. Supports bluetooth aptX-HD vs just just plain aptX?
4. Nearly double sized battery
5. The play/pause/skip buttons look improved to me
6. Added quick silence notifications slider
7. Infrared remote for controlling other devices 
8. Android 6.0
9. Much higher resolution display
10. 3gb RAM vs 2gb
11. 6-core vs 4-core processor, better graphics processor, etc
12. Quick charge support
13. GPS and other smartphone sensors
14. CMX1 is taller, but it's narrower and (crucially) thinner (142.30 x 72.00 x 11.90 mm vs. 129.0 × 75.9 × 12.7 mm)
15. CMX1 is about 15% heavier (234g vs 203g)

 
All for a price not so different from what the DP-X1 originally launched for? Way to go Onkyo!!
 
Assuming more in-depth sound quality testing continues to show that SQ is comparable between these devices, then for approximately $200 more than the DPX-1A you would getting a heckuva lot more device (if you can live with 192gb less potential storage space over the DPX-1A and a heavier/taller device).
