  Yep, indeed. This what happens when larger company take action, they have the means to produce the device at reasonable price. Now we just have to wait and see if it delivers.

It is not out yet, it will out end of novermber and once it is you can pay pricejapan a fee to buy one for you or you can use tenso to save that buyers fee.

The Japanese article mentioned a late November release. If I live away from home am I allowed to buy myself something for Christmas? 
 
Given that it was announced in Germany it should be available elsewhere quite soon after the local release, or so I hope. Waiting to hear if there's going to be a volume cap for non-Japanese versions before I make a purchase.

I was at a audio shop and they were selling the Pioneer amp/dac for over 1k.

The price war will not end. If anything, it's just beginning. Audio is more expensive than ever to play with.
 
Take a look at headphone prices in general. 2 years ago, who would have said that the Sennheiser HD800 is a value for money flagship? Now, in 2015, it is exactly that; a value for money flagship. Look at what prices the other flagship cans are going for now; the likes of HE-1000, LCD-4 and Ether.
 
Manufacturers are charging crazy prices because they can and audiophiles will still buy them. All we can do is to spend within our means. 

sorry man but the insanely priced daps or headphone manufatcures that price their gear so dam high are tiny companies compared to onkyo, pioneer, sony
 
its the boutigue companies that are putting insane prices for something not worth the asking price, now welcome the big giants like onkyo and sony to change things, finally onkyo will slash all other companies with such a price

  price released, http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20151014_725416.html
 
69800 Yen.

WOW!!
Finally!!
 
Its price is $584.09!!!
 
Unbelievable!!
This completely kills AK380, AK240, AK120, AK100, Calyx M, Cowon P1, HM901, Sony ZX1 and ZX2.
I hope we never see those overpriced DAPs again in audio device history...
If DP-X1 is $584, Pioneer's 100R would be $484. 
 
AK will bankrupt very soon. iRiver will disappear by the end of this year unless they drop all of their prices down to $300. 
This Onkyo DAP is better than AK380 in nearly all aspects including UI, price, design, OS, battery life, storage (two microSD), etc. 
It costs only 16% of AK380's price.

hail onkyo the giant people company
 
 goodbye to all those insanley greedy companies
 
and goodbye to all hidden agendas , and welcome welcome onkyo for this amazing slap in the face directed to the greedy companies
 
i feel i need to write a song hailing onkyo, until i do listen to bon jovi song called burning bridges and apply it to how i feel to greedy companies
 
here are the lyrics
 
 

Sayonara​

​

Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell,​

​

Adieu, good night, guten abend,​

​

Here's one last song you can sell​

​

Lets call it burning bridges​

​

It's a sing along as well​

​

Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend​

​

Play it for your friends in hell​

​

​

Someone shut the lights off​

​

Turn the page​

​

The stories I could write​

​

I've seen a million faces​

​

And I've lived a couple lives​

​

Here's our history for all to see​

​

The smiles and all the scars​

​

First the rising then the falling​

​

Call this chapter shooting stars​

​

That must sound good from where you are​

​

​

Sayonara​

​

Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell,​

​

Adieu, good night, guten abend,​

​

Here's one last song you can sell​

​

Let's call it burning bridges​

​

It's a sing along as well​

​

Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend​

​

Play it for your friends in hell​

​

​

Check the box​

​

Mark this day​

​

There's nothing more to say​

​

After 30 years of loyalty​

​

They let you dig the grave​

​

Now maybe you could learn to sing​

​

Or even strum along​

​

I'll give you half the publishing​

​

You're why I wrote this song​

​

Everybody sing along​

​

​

Sayonara​

​

Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell,​

​

Adieu, good night, guten abend,​

​

Here's one last song you can sell​

​

Lets call it burning bridges​

​

It's a sing along as well​

​

Hope my money and my masters​

​

Buy a front row seat in hell​

​

Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend​

​

Play this for your friends in st. tropez​

I wouldn't celebrate so fast yet, but the price man, holy crap! I thought I must shelf more than $800. Now if the reviews points out to a very good SQ comparable to that of 240 or even 380, things might change in a big way. Who knows but I really hope they succeed in this endeavour, someone needs to put an end to this madness.

The game is over.
 
Onkyo has proved that they can manufacture much better devices for 16% of AK380's cost. 
$584 is very reasonable. It costs the same as a smartphone. I was always thinking DAPs should not cost more than smartphones when they have less features and worse design, UI, battery life, etc.

A few reactions: 
 
- It`s even less expensive than I expected - the Onkyo rep told me `around 20,000y more than the Pioneer` so I assumed it would be 20k more, or slightly more than 20k more.  It`s only 10k more? 
 
- Let`s not get too giddy and call it an AK-killer until we hear it.  People can denigrate AK all they want on price, customer service, design, etc, but I don`t think anyone can say they don`t sound fantastic.  It would take a lot more than (less insane) pricing to make me give up my 120ii. 
 
- If you would like one more thing to celebrate, that ¥70,000 figure is almost certainly the list price; actual store prices in Japan will be at least 10% less.

Yes... store price would be even less....
I think this DP-X1 will sell for $550... and maybe for $500 six months later.
When this happens, no one will ever buy AK devices which have worse battery life, UI, design, and perhaps SQ. 
 
 
I don't believe Onkyo will come up with worse sound quality than AK devices... this doesn't make any sense.
Their Teac collaboration P90SD and HA-300 already sound very good. Teac calls them reference devices.
I don't think Onkyo has targeted something worse than P90SD, HA-300, and HA-200. Check them out.
