No issues here on the Pioneer with fw 1.21
Thanks for the reply. This is a bricks and mortar retailer, so I'll see if they'll be happy for me to the Onkyo/Pioneer side my side with DX50. They don't stock the Sony A45 though. At the "sale" price, the Pioneer is just £20 more than the Sony, but at the original price of over £300, the Pioneer would have been close to twice the price of the Sony. For that, I would expect quite a bit more, but maybe this can be put down to the Sony A45 being exceptional value for money!
WARNING
I installed the latest firmware (Version 1.21/18223AEP) on my 30R yesterday in the hope it would fix the internal memory problems I have been having. (See earlier in the thread.) However after the firmware installed my Volume control no longer works.
The now familiar reset to factory settings did not help. My expensive Dap is now pretty much useless.
Anyone had similar problems ?
I won't be buying Pioneer again that's for sure.
(Edit - The volume limiter setting in the audio menu does not work either. The firmware release notes talk about changes made in this area. I think they messed up)
I finally had a reply from Pioneer support regarding my internal drive 9 weeks after I posted the problem - thier response ?: "We are very busy , if you still have the problem please resubmit the ticket" ******
I wonder if there is a physical reset button. Most players have such and I thought I remembered reading that in the instructions but I was also reading other players instructions so I could be wrong. If you want to take the effort to remove what you've put on the internal memory and save it to your PC you could try this reset function in settings and then just install the latest update again. I'd sure try that before trying to find an external volume controller.I can't find any other reported problems perhaps I'm jùst unlucky. The player seems to be a bit of a dud so far.
Anyone had volume control problems outside of firmware upgrades ?
I'm going to buy an inline volume control for the headphones and use the line out . I'll at least get some use out the damn thing. Perhaps Pioneer will one day get back to me.

Why not get am RA # and return it I'm sure Pioneer will repair it or send you a new one.My internal memory is so @@@@@ that even "reset to factory settings" does not not wipe the memory like the manual says it will. (See my comments earlier in the thread ) Further that option does not revert the firmware so you're stuck with whatever version you are on. Thanks for the thought though,
Different sound signatures. Do s1 is more flat response and analytical. Xdp 30r is more v shaped.DP-S1 and XDP-30R its same sound quility?

Dp s1. My other dap besides the xdp30r is the kann. The kann is just fantastic and what I would truly recommend to a music lover. But its pricey and bulky. Ultimately the onkyo and pioneer are 'digital' in comparison. BUT having said that, @200 usd they are a bargain.thanks
for classical and wide soundage what recommand?
I'm delighted with the $180 deal from Newegg that I paid about 2 weeks ago. Just checked and its sold out. It really is a nice player.
Try rebooting your router.The first Jap series of the DP-S1's UI seems to be self destructing, now for awhile I'm unable to connect to the Wifi for no apparent reason. It worked flawlessly until recently, and now it simply fails to connect, I have to re-enter the router's password several times, before I finally get a connection. Same router, nothing changed and all of my devices connect without any issues. I have to assume something must have gotten corrupted, a reset did not resolve it. I have the feeling the trash bin will bring the final solution, feeling fed up with this useless garbage. I guess "getting what you paid for" holds true here, time for the DP-X1A.
