Sweet! Hopefully we can get an unboxing in English so I can understand it.

Would you mind posting pics? Could you elaborate ? Did you put the suguru around the entire circumference ? How deep and how many layers?

I tried taking pictures but since I used black sugru it just shows a black "ring" surround the socket, not any different to an unmodified setup.
I just took a tiny amount of sugru and rolled it into 1mm strings. I then plugged the cable into to have a "lever" and seal the hole. I carefully laid the sugru strings around the socket and pushed into the gap as good as possible. It's been a few week, so I can't tell for sure if I only did one layer, but that's what I recall. Using the 2.5mm plug I straightened the socket just a tiny bit before I squeezed in some sugru. It's hard to tell, but I don't think the sugru layer was any bigger/deeper than a small o-ring, say 1mm. The next day I trimmed off the excess with a scalpel. The TRRS socket is now solid and I have to apply quite a bit of pressure to move it sideways (not that did that more than one)
Hope that helps.
Good job! At least you have done some thing to help it. Suguru can be easily removed, if warranty is needed. However, beside the socket being bad, I really don't see anything else would give soon on the DP-X1
I just did 2 serious accidental durability tests on the balanced output of my new X1. My IEM able got caught on a door handle twice and ripped out the headphone plug. Thankfully, everything is fine, but I thought I was going to be sending back my unit already. Honestly if it didn't get damaged during that test, I am not too worried.
