The Android "problem" is that you basically have to pick a sample rate and stick with it. On the FiiO X7 that rate is 44.1kHz, on the DP-X1 it's 192kHz.
The FiiO X7 has its dedicated player program that, whatever its shortcomings, does allow the X7 to play music of all supported sample rates natively.
But I don't think the audio artifacts of the DP-X1 using third party programs is the result of resampling, and even if it were, it doesn't follow that resampling necessarily introduces artifacts. For example, (notwithstanding all the other problems the X7 has) resampling 48kHz audio on current X7 firmware to 44.1kHz on third party player apps doesn't introduce any audible artifacts.
