I don't mind Onkyo making phones but they should make a true replacement for DP-X1 without making some head scratching decisions on their device. Something that can replace DP-X1 on its price bracket while giving a fight to those in $1500+ area.

Yeah, they should make something at $1000 and break those 1.5k,2k,3k dap at fraction of their cost. If they actually do so, they will be our savior because I could only see dap's price increased to 5k in the nex few years, it's ridiculous these days...

Opps, when you said phones you meant a cell phone. My bad.

 

[gearofwar]

I would definitely stay away if they are transforming it into a phone. That means less space and less resources spent on audio hardware, not even mention interference from phone parts

I agree. DAP just for playing music, not smartphone with good DAC for playing music.

​I suspect it will most likely have the facility to connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth so you can make/receive calls and will not be a fully functional phone with a sim card.

  Why unlocking, is there any custom firmware in the work or available already? 

yeah and not only that.
#1 - i am trying to get vanilla kernel sources + some patches up on dp-x1 and then cyanogenmod running. if i succeed might be the first DAP running Cyanogenmod
#2 - you can have some fail safe plan in case of software failure. you can back up your stock firmware to restore it later. twrp will help you with that.
#3 - easier to get proper root without some bloatware (kingroot thing that you have to clean up later + bloatware it comes with?) getting to your DAP.
 
#2 and #3 is not enough to be reasonable to unlock it?

 

[hanes]

Are you using iTunes?

Not 100% per cent sure what you mean by that. 
I use Apple Music as a streaming service.
I have activated the "Icloud library" on my mac to integrate my old iTunes playlists and titles - so yes, if you mean that?

 

[masterpfa]

there are rumors saying the dp-x1 successor that i posted above might be a smartphone. well do notice that there's a hearing bar on it which is usually found on phone.

 
 

  did they include gps there ? for people to play pokemon go on their dap

 
 

some people assumes that's a sim card slot at the bottom.

 
You beat me to it @Replicant187 

Not only does that seem like a SIM tray (note the hole for the ejection tool)

BUT.........


 
The two bands about 10mm in from the top and bottom of the phone DAP which is similar to the aerial configuration on many modern smartphones such as the OnePlus 3 & iPhone 6S
 
 

 
 
 
Despite my opinions above, I don't think it will be a phone but aimed to compete directly with the iPod Touch which has GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and all but a mobile built in. 
Pokeman Go is a Go if this is the case @damex
 
 
I would be interested to see the smaller version and how it matches in size and form to my Mojo *
 
 
 
*Yes that was meant for the "Why buy an expensive DAP to pair with a Mojo" crew

This is great idea, if you get any tutorial on how to do this please let us know

  I've extracted Music app from both Onkyo DP-X1 and Pioneer XDP-100R DAP's.
You can install and have both apps on X1, compare and use what You want:
com.opi.onkyo.dap_music.apk
com.opi.pioneer.dap_music.apk
 
PS Links are fixed.
PPS Pioneer Music app has very interesting Bass Boost Feature

 
Links are dead, could You please extract latest Pioneer app?

 

[Whitigir]

So DP-X1 successor if using dual chip, they probably are using ES9028 mobile version. I was hoping they would be using ES9038Pro (desktop version) which is the top of the tier in it class on the market at this moment

what do you need guide about? recovery? you can click backup in twrp backing up boot and system and then restore it in case of need.
root? just install supersu zip through twrp recovery.
 
or you want me to write detailed how-to for #2 and #3?
