I think after the USA release, it will be Europe release. Actually the Hong Kong version is the Europe version.

Again, I don't think there are different versions, can somebody who knows for sure confirm this, but people keep saying version which implies some kind of difference.

There will be some firmware differences, things like Wi-Fi bands and stuff like that. Oh, and first few thousand units sound best, so...

Okay, however, I think the unit would be identical except for the firmware being set to different bands, but ultimately the units beyond that will identical won't they?

  Help! I am having a noise issue with the X1while playing Spotify.  It stops between tracks, so it's just when the music is playing.  When it's playing through the regular, 2.5mm balanced, or to an amp I get a lot of noise.  No problems through the stock onkyo player.  And it's not interference, it happens when I am off  line too.  It happens with 3 different earphones as well.  And not with my phone on Spotify.
 
I did download the new update.  Is there a way to reset to the original software?

The noise problem was the update.  It's fine once I did the factory reset.  Anyone know how to turn off the automatic updates?​

I haven't update firmware on my dp-x1 for some time now. Was there consensus on whether the latest firmware affects the sq?
Thanks.

I don't think sq was affected by the latest 1.30 firmware. Still getting that strong static on balanced every now and then at high levels on PM-3, but it goes away by toggling ACG on and off. Hope Onlyo will fix that one day, and I also hope it is not a hardware problem.
 
Got mine for almost two months now. Using it daily, charging it almost every night and all in all, very happy with it. I would say that DP-X1 delivers outstanding performance at this price level and it is not looking bad at all, either.

I just updated the firmware and the Onkyo app. They have fixed the eq scaling problem. Bass can now be turned up quite a bit before clipping starts. Thank you Onkyo!!!! This will be remembered.

hi, I'd like to ask something :
1. does anybody know, how to delete the others home screen in dp-x1? or it's can't be deleted? there's 5 home screen right now.
2. how to avoid while I take a screenshot while playing a song, the song didn't change to another song?
3. while still in locked screen, I still can access the notification bar, ex turn on/off wifi or bluetooth, screen rotation. is there a setting to turn off this feature?
thank you

I am not sure if I have one of the early Japanese models, I can check the firmware code.  But mine sounds much better once I went back to the original software.  No noise, no funny static, no issues with either headphone output, and no changing volumes in one ear all of a sudden.  I will not be downloading any updates until I am sure they are perfect. 
 
I am quite happy with the X1 overall, my only complaint is the noise issue, but it sounds like a software issue. Combined with the Creative E5 and Aurisonics ASG 2.5 IEM, it is a bass monster that has great sound through the entire spectrum.  Very good unamped as well with the ASG 2.5.  I am a drummer and prefer a lot of bass, so I add the E5.

 
Thanks. I'm inclined to also wait until I see that majority of users are happy with new firmware. I'm still on 0.1.28. Don't really care about mqa for now.

I have found the SQ is improved since a new FW has been downloaded to my DP-X1 (listening with SE535 and custom balanced cables) without an amp.

HK version & Europe version has variable line out which is to by pass the Europe vol cap law
