The underlying challenge is 90% of phone users aren't exactly audiophiles. Sad, I know.

I am sure that's a significant understatement. If you took 100 random phone users in a supermarket (for instance) probably way less than 1% would ever consider having a separate player for music. The simple fact is, for the average consumer, a modern phone already has far better audio capabilities than needed to keep them happy.

Yes. I was attempting to remain somewhat optimistic.

All good points. When I bought my DP-S1 I was excited to have a very small DAP that had nice sound and from a brand that was going to build out a library of content. Seemed like a great combo. I spoke to the Onkyo reps at CanJam here in Denver back in 2016 and they were excited about it as well. It was nice seeing one of the legacy brands embracing the DAP market aside from Sony.
It’s true that lost people are satisfied with the audio from their phone.

Hi all,

Anyone have any information or luck changing regions with the DP-S1.
Its a super player and I love mine. But I did buy it years ago in while in Japan (so TIDAL is not available one it).
Now that I am in another region and want to use TIDAL there is seemingly no way to 'unlock' it.

Anyone have any info or thoughts no this?

Thanks in advance.

Less than 200 hours of use and maybe closer to 100 hours, touchscreen stopped responding. I'm stuck in just 1 folder playing Liaisons Dangereuses' debut album. Using my Galaxy S9+ phone now and I don't think I will ever spend money on another dap.

I'm really sorry. I had a year with mine - and then one day, poof - stopped working. Couldn't replace the battery either. Replaced mine with a FiiO M11 - which is still going strong almost two years later.

What a bummer, I hope your fio does better in the long run. I'm still using a cheap china bar-shaped player connected to my car's stereo, plays about any format up to 25 hours on a charge, even has radio and Bluetooth. At not even $20.

Anyone else notice that Tidal is no longer playing MQA for the DP-S1/PDS-10? At least for me, all Masters tracks are now just showing FLAC, without the MQA indicator.

Ideas?

I love my XDP-30R but miss having Spotify, etc. Any newer DAP's out there that sound as good or better with more app options?

thx

Depends on your budget, but ibasso DX160 2020 is a very good option, nice screen, average battery life for an Android dap. Good amplication, 4.4 bal output very neutral.

An other option is to use a dongle for your phone, may be lotoo paw s1 or L&P W2.
