Could anyone here compare Q1PR to DP-X1 on Balanced output in term of SQ ? Thanks

Qp1r has balanced out ?

I think he meant balanced out of DP-X1 compared to single ended on QP1R

Dignis designer quoted me USD45 with 2 shipping options. Either $5 or $16 depending on speed.

Yup I was charged the same.

No, it's Onkyo, most of the time people always compared only Single-ended out to other daps, they think it's somewhat called "Fair" 
 
I heard so many different opinions on QP1R right now like it outclasses DP-X1 but never seen a more detail specific comparison between the 2 using the best they could.

Just ordered mine from PriceJapan. Will pair it with my noble k10.

Got poisoned from all the reviews I read. Now, should I get a balanced cable.... Hmmm

That is what I am planning too after receiving my Onkyo DP-X1 next week or whenever. But the question is which balanced cable is affordable and matched with it.

Dignis shipped the casing within 15 mins of my payment. That's so fast man.

Do you have a link?

QP1R is one of the top DAPs out there, I am not sure many have both heard DP-X1 and QP1R as they probably target different people. Probably most people that have heard both have auditioned one or both in a store.
 
I will oversimplify but to me, QP1R is in a small group of DAPs (along with Lotoo Paw Gold for example), that are first and foremost focused on the best possible SQ (meant to be great, with no amp too) with lesser concern on usability (going further than more friendly DAPs like Cowon P1 & S, HM-901... etc).
 
Smart DAPs like the DP-X1 have a very different approach, usability and connectedness are key features but aside from something like the ZX2 or maybe the AR M2, there is not exotic component (ZX2) or powerful amp (AR M2). They aim at being very good but not up to DAC/amps territory. 
 
I don't think it makes sense to say it's unfair to compare DP-X1 balanced to single ended QP1R. 
I love the DP-X1 but I think QP1R is in another league, with apparently great value for money compared to Lotoo or top AKs.
 
The way I see DP-X1 is great value for money and very good SQ out of the box, with the ability to be upgraded to something still compact and even as good or better than those DAPs paired with say Chord Mojo or ALO CDM.
 
I'd love to see more DAPs like ZX2 that are a mix of both approach. The ZX2's amp is my main gripe really. Otherwise as @Whitigir often said, tonal body density, micro dynamics are just several notch up on the ZX2 compared to DP-X1. I think we'll see that happen, as I can't imagine top DAPs not being connected and with a decent UI in the long run.

Interesting , I found DP-X1 superior to ZX2 after all.

Without hearing the ZX2 my impression is that it is fairly warm and upfront sounding, so some will prefer that, certainly if they had spent enough time with as the brain likes what it gets used to.

As an aside here, for anybody interested in wireless, the XTZ Divine is awesome sounding. It is still a small driver so it won't rumble down low, but it is a solid sound signature, very good and balanced. I won't get rid of my PM3, but it is nice to have a quality, wireless option. The XTZ DSP Android app is pretty basic, but functional so if you really thirst for a small, on the go wireless setup the Divine is also aptX enabled.

If someone can help here and save me the time of searching through this forum, is folder play possible or not with the default music player app?
If not, has someone tested one that does work?
I would like to play album folders within a folder, for example, a folder with all 2015 releases, setup as folders within the 2015 folder, then play all the music within that 2015 folder.
The AK players can do it, so it's not unheard of.
thanks

Okay, thanks, another solution then is an app that would play by year in the music coding.
3rd party music apps, do they work as well as the default music player?
thanks again for any help here.
