Second question can I just plug both units in via USB and copy one to they other?
Yes, you can.

Thanks!Yes, you can.
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.
Is the build quality ok? Not sure if I should take the plunge. Is it worth it at $199 new or I should wait for cheaper (no rush). Comparing this with the Hiby R3 or Cowon Plenue D.Having decided the volume control failure was unrelated to the firmware upgrade (apologies to Pioneer for doubting them) and hearing nothing from Pioneer support I decided to take the back off the player and take a look. (Its out of warranty.)...
The volume knob was turning the shaft ok but whilst poking around I could see the volume potentiometer (or whatever it is) was moving slightly on it's pcb. By pressing it down lightly the volume control was restored to working order. I guess there's a dry joint or it's come detached. Not wanting to dismantle further (or do any soldering in there !) I placed a small rubber pad on top of the pot so that when I put the back on it would slightly compress the assembly in place. Happy to report this bodge is holding for now.
Now if I could just get my internal memory back.!!!!
Hi, is the newegg customer service reliable? I'm not from the US but am tempted to ship it at $199 from Newegg through a forwarder.... Also do you think $199 is good value or I should wait? Not in a rush and comparing with the Hiby R3 or Cowon Plenue D.

I've had no issues with build quality and think it's a tough little unit. Physical buttons seem good... but then, I don't abuse it.
The only 'build' complaint I could have is that the 3.5mm jack is not a solid 'click' and the IEM plug can pop out a bit too easily. But that rarely poses an actual problem.

I quite like mine from a build standpoint. I put a matte finish screen protector (I had to order it from a German company called "Brotect"; great name ) and it just makes it look so much better since the unprotected screen has no oleophobic coatings or anything so it can become a smudgy mess and the screen protector they ship with it is impossible to fit on there because it's too large. I also ordered a Japanese cowhide case for mine from a Japanese company called Musashino Label...it was about half the cost of the device itself but it looks beautiful. Can't wait for it to arrive.
My XDP-30R sonds fantastic with SE846's vol about the 40 mark

Well, you're a bit further north than I am, so I'm usually under 30 with my DP-S1...
Using several very efficient IEM's. No hiss at the volumes I listen to.
I've used Newgg for years, 15 or more, and never had a problem with them. I've spent several thousands of dollars there - mostly computer components - CPU, GPU, memory, ssd, external drives, etc. My only warning is to look at the listing carefully as they don't offer returns on some of their products. As far as the 30R goes I love mine and use it most every day. I've had to hardwire firmware updates a couple of times - I just put the file on my memory card and did it that way. No idea why it wouldn't do it wirelessly.
My biggest complaint with Newegg is their shipping policy. I'm in upstate NY and their shipping center is in northern NJ. Plain and simple parcel post can get me a package in 2 days. You could pay more for priority mail and it'd still get to me in 2 days. But Newegg has this ultra cheap shipping they call eggsaver where they have a shipping company pick up the package from their shipping center and truck it to a 'nearby' post office which then takes care of the delivery to my house. For some reason I'll never understand the package goes from NJ to CT where the post office takes over and delivers to me. In 7 or 8 days!
I'll second the warning to check the fine print on deal items as they do reduce their cost by not accepting returns on things. Usually stuff that's a close out or EOL lot or the like.
I've gotten a few damaged or bad out of the box items and returns were painless and I know I had a cross shipment done at least once and was promptly credited with the return price.

They are identical screens . I have the Onkyo and I put protectors for the Pioneer on it. Even says on the packaging materials of the protectors.Is it a Pioneer or Onkyo that you have? I wonder if this screen protector could be used on the Onkyo even if it says it's for the Pioneer. Does anyone know if the screens of the both are the same?
