I still think its one of the best out there. If my over 2 year old jacks fail ill just get them replaced. I never really have issues with mine. Some people keep falling down the hole to find out the next latest device ain't really that great.

Agreed, I keep coming back to mine also. I think Onyko has the right synergy by using the matched ESS amplifiers with the ESS Dacs. Imho

I (like) my dpx1a also, it's a little bright and at times the digital noise is overbearing. Played at high volumes, it distorts a lot! I'm using the best iems in my inventory, IMR-R1's......

Definitely depends on your IEMs, I have the Alclair RSMs which are 4 BAs per side and are Customs and I get no distortion what so ever even at loud volumes and thats Balanced and SE.

I like my DP-X1 so much that I recently bought the DP-S1 as well.

Any pointers to earphones that have the 2.5mm jack?

I don't really understand the question. If you can get any earphone with removable cables you can get an aftermarket 2.5 trrs balanced cable.

I wanted to know if anyone could advise on some earphones that have the 2.5mm balanced connector. So I can use the balanced output on the device.

Okay I get now. Any headphone with removable cable will be able to upgrade to a 2.5 trrs balanced cable. Take a look at the portable headphones section on the forums and you will find many options at all price ranges .

Can you advise on any?

Is this adaptor suitable so I can use my earphones....

I'm not the best at suggesting adapters as I don't use any and am not familiar with them, but if I'm not mistaken you would want a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. I do know that using the wrong adapter can damage the dap and headphones. Search this thread I'm sure somesso has posted about it.

This adapter is not a balanced adapter. You do not want to use an adapter to plug an unbalanced IEM into your Onkyo balanced jack as you risk damage as has been stated. The only time you would use an adapter is if you want to use balanced IEMs with a device that only has a single ended 3.5 mm jack such as a chord mojo or just a phone.

If you want to use 2.5 mm balanced no adapters are needed. As the other poster suggested you need some IEMs that have a removable cable and then use a 2.5mm TRRS balanced cable to connect your IEMs to the balanced jack on your Onkyo. Most mid level and higher IEMs will come with a removable cable.

Good luck with your search.

Does this device have the eu volume limit on as the Pioneer

Something like this:

matched to a good set of IEM's, and you're laughing. AMAZED at the soundstage.

What headphones do you have? Just because a headphone has a removable cable does not mean you can use them balanced.IEMs would be however. It all depends on how the headphone is wired .

Not sure about the EU sound cap, but if you bought them from lets say the USA it does not .
