Glad more people are receiving this DAP, hopefully with its price/performance finally being given a concrete picture, it can trigger the race to the bottom with many other DAP manufacturers.
Guys - question for you guys who are using balanced out - I don't have any exposure yet so far in the world of balanced output, all of my IEM/phones have the standard 3.5mm single ended.
If I want to use the 2.5mm balanced output, do I have to get the proper cable, or is there any adapter that I can get (i.e can I use one of them 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter)?
Any advise would be much appreciated
Anyone experiences hiss or cracking as I do when using third party apps such as TIDAL and Spotify? I tried all kinds of settings but they are still there. Unlike the default player, which produces no hisses, these third party apps do not seem to be able to utilise the DAC/AMP well enough as the default player.
That's just what I have on hand. While I have little respect for money, even I swerved on the 380. I only use the AK120 to test cables and I don't listen much outside of the house or on the go, I really just have portable gear for fun. I'm sure the 380 compares very favorably to it, but it's nearly 6 times the price.
One more thing, the AK120 II is the top A&K without native DSD. So since the DPX1 does not have native DSD either, it's a fair comparison, for testing DSD.
That is concerning. Is this when streaming, or does it also happen with saved offline content?
It has been reported in this thread that all third-party apps experience distortion, yet others have mentioned using Tidal without saying anything about distortion.
It is the lack of clarity over this issue that is preventing me buying the device until I can hear it for myself.
It happens with every third party app (at least with every one I've tried so far)
There's no reason Tidal would be the exception.
It's a problem that Onkyo needs to solve in a future update, given that DP-X1 was also marketed as a streaming music player.

Thanks Zenifyx.
I've already bought and returned an X7 because it can't properly support streaming services.
The Onkyo is now off my list too.
It really puzzles me that the manufacturers haven't sorted out these issues before releasing the devices. FiiO appeared to be surprised that streaming was important to a lot of users. Personally I can't see a reason for adopting a bloated Android interface unless it's to fully support third-party apps.
Here's hoping that IBasso can do better if they go down the Android route.
