Hi Guys, 
 
I’m looking at the Onkyo DP-X1, I was just wondering how you update the android on it? 
 
Can you update through Wifi on the X1 (like a normal phone and then apps update) or do you have to connect the X1 to a computer to to do this? 
 
I'm mainly using it for spotify and tidal, can you EQ these programs on it?
 
Also any suggestions on where to get it from? I see alot of Honk Kong resellers but abit worried about what kind of recharging plug I'll get and the voltage. 
 
This device could save my age old problem of a portable device that could power my Q701's.
 
any help will be appreciated,
 
John

I made all updates through Wi Fi, like normal phone

Not using, but I think yes.
 
Also any suggestions on where to get it from? I see alot of Honk Kong resellers but abit worried about what kind of recharging plug I'll get and the voltage. 
 
I took mine from Hong Kong, eglobalcentral.eu - no recharger at all, just cable, working well with my computer or Sony charger.

Thanks for the replies man, 
 
Are they planning on doing future android updates?
 
Is it easy to download apps onto the device? Just through Google Play store? anything you want? 
 
Will this power the hd 600 or 650? 
 
Thanks,

Hope so as all of us

Easy - same as on any android phone.

300ohm - I think, it is limit. As I said previously - on max SE gives about 70-75 db - for me more than enough. Of course, depends on listening volumes
 
Thanks,

Your amazing, going to treat myself next week I think. This will allow me to finally play music when I'm walking around the house.

One last question, does the interface come in English when you boot up or Chinese? 
 
Thanks,

From the very beginning it was English.

  Hi, I'm new to head-fi. I just received my DP-X1 from a local dealer few days ago. Upgraded from Ibasso DX90. Overall I am really happy with it. Love the bright crystal sound and it really matched with my T5p.
 
Though I just wondering, I find it sound better, brighter and have more soundstage if I plug to 3.5 mm compared to the 2.5 mm output and set on balanced mode. Does anyone feel the same? Or I made some mistake here?
 
But if I plugged on 2.5 mm and set on ACG mode it does sound better, but the single-ended 3.5 mm would sound louder, meaning that 2.5 mm ACG mode have lower power output?

 
Where did you get the balanced 2.5mm cable to use with your T5p?
 
Is it possible that it might be faulty or incorrectly wired?
 
As others have indicated AGC should sound at least as powerful as 3.5mm SE. You should also be getting better soundstage and overall SQ with the 2.5mm connection.

Nope - some less - I measured.

Simple Balanced - some improvement. ACG - dramatical

Almost dude.
 
As in an earlier post, technically at measurement, ACG maybe less powerful than SE, but perceived volume and power will be higher due to greater clarity and lower noise floor.
 
Of course, everyone's millage my vary.

Got the balanced cable at a local cables and wires store and they are the one who do the wiring. Thanks for the tip, yes it is very likely that the wiring is not properly connected, as I should be getting better soundstage and overall SQ with the 2.5mm connection...

Can I ask what do we do with our existing 3.5mm jack headphones, I have just bought a pair of shure se535, does this now mean that they won't sound good with the dp-x1? Or can I buy a 2.5mm lead?
Just need to know before I purchase this beautiful peice of equipment.
