  I set variable line out, power has increased, but ok, I notice a very annoying voices in sibyl why?
thank you.

 
You mean sibilace, right? When s/z are annoying sharp?
By my opinion sound signature of native player it was tuned bringing up middle frequencies - and we got lack of sound image depth and sibilance. Only way to get rid of it - flat EQ or even drop down 8-10khz range.

So my player finally arrived  and the leather case from ZZOZZ (Korean made, bought on EBay). Case fits fantastically well, high-quality leather, I am happy.

Phone and Balanced sockets are firm (I got a Japanese model, so it seems to be from a new batch). Sound quality - even better than I expected, perfectly neutral with Yamaha HPH-MT220 headphones, enough volume, EQ is not necessary (to my taste - but I listen mostly to classical music).
On the negative side - player warms up considerably during charging and playback, and then when I tried to restart it I only saw a penguin. 15 minutes in the fridge restored things to normal, and everything works perfectly, so if you encounter a Linux penguin at restart - let the player cool down.

  Onkyo's Music app has been updated.
 

WHAT'S NEW 

[New function]
- Add "Artwork Mode" playback screen
*playback screen from the side menu.
- Support for ID3 tags embedded in WAV files
[Improvements]
- Fixed display for MQA playback
- Improve music playback stability
- Fixed other bugs

 
Thanks for the info!   I will give it a try today.  Because I mostly use Neutron for vocal and I have mostly vocal music, so updating the Music app is no risk for me.

FYI
 
The new Music update let you select either the old style interface or a new style interface with color album art showing.  So it is your choice. nice!

One question for those who know more about the DP-X1.  Can I uninstall the Onkyo Music Player app completely from my DP-X1 and then install it again?  Maybe that will solve the problems I have with the originally pre-installed app.  If so, how do I do that?  If that is not possible, tell me how can I update the Onkyo music app to the new version?  I go to the app but I don't see an option to update it?   The Music app version I have is 1.2.1 (41).  I don't know if that is the latest or not.
 
The Onkyo music app on my DP-X1 doesn't work for me.  It did not copy the playlists from my Itunes library when I used the X-Dap to sync my music from my windows 10 PC.  Since I have over 20,000 songs, I don't want to use the Onkyo music player app to find a song in my library.  Having my Itunes playlists was very important to me.  Thanks to the info on this forum, I was able to learn and find a solution. 
 
I bought the iSyncr app for android and copied all my library to the external sd card on my DP-x1.  Once I had the music there, I bought the Rocket player app  and installed that on my Onkyo DP-x1.  Now all my music is exactly the same as my Itunes library in my home PC.  I did not have to use the X-dap program to copy my music from my PC to the DP-X1. The iSyncr did it beautifully and ten times faster than what it took to copy it using the X-dap.  I also downloaded the Neutron app to my DP-X1 and now I have two music playing options.  The Rocket player is easy to use.  The Neutron a bit more complicated but better sound.  I hope this information help other readers like me (not very knowledgeable about sound or expert in computer and electronics).  I spent several hours reading this forum before I found these useful tips.

thanks for the answer, on some songs like gunse n roses You Could Be Mine., voice and some instruments are sharp and strain the hearing, your advice and the only way to act on EQ 8:10?

Went to System -> Application, I only see Uninstall the updates in Music.  Other apps you can Uninstall, but not Music.
 
So try clean all cache, then press Uninstall the updates should bring you back to very early version of Music.

Did you do the Sync? In the onkyo player. Setting --> Sync Now. Once it synced, all your music will be seen by the stock player.
