  None that I noticed on both my SE846s and my HiFiMan HE1000s.  I did have blips when playing back .dsf files but switching the "Lock Range Adjust" from "Narrow" to "Normal" solved this.

My music is all mp3 could that give me distortion.

 

[Kristof Boone]

  Is there distortion using the default music app? I will not be using any internet music services.  I like to choose my own music in my own collection.  I don't have wifi access when I use the DPX1 while out and about and have no interest in those services.

There were never problems reported when using the default music app...
When using other services like Tidal, you don't need any wifi access when you've "downloaded" the files on your memory.

It's strange that some people don't have any problem at all with Tidal (with new players?) and other ones are really disappointed...
How do we know for sure when ordering a new one that it hasn'at anymore those issues?

I have tested from Cheap to Highest Transfer rate cards and blips continue to occur. The HiFi file size seems to be an issue with Tidal. Spotify does not have an issue due to the type of file

What does the gains do?

And does this have a line out mode to hook it to my amp.

The gains make you stronger.

Nah but it basically just add more power to the HP jack if your headphones are hard to drive. So low gain is for easy to drive headphones while high gain is for hard to drive headphones.

Do you know if it has a line out mode though?

Yeah. You can use the USB for dac only to something like a MOJO. But why do you want to do this? The amp on the DP x1 is good.

 

[Technative]

Do you know if it has a line out mode though?

Yes, the DP-X1 can be switched from fixed to variable line out and vice versa, so the line out can be used to hook it up to your (pre-)amp.

I've found that the Bluetooth range of the DP-X1 is pretty abysmal (a couple of feet, if passing though a human body), so I switched OFF the internal Bluetooth, and connected a small, portable Trond BT Apt-X Transmitter ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01B4W40VC ) to the Line-Out, and then my Trinity Audio BT Lanyard worked over the "normal" range of 25-35 ft.

I know this is probably basic stuff, but I don't understand the function of the Line Out on the DP-X1.  I thought the Line Out was supposed to bypass the internal amp to avoid "coloring" the sound.  The volume of the Line Out on the DP-X1 is the same as the maximum volume on the 3.5mm headphone out, so the Line Out still seems to go through the amplification stage.  Is there an impedance change, or some other purpose for the Line Out mode?

That just means the amp stage is at 0dB. The line out will be bypassing that amp stage.

Does the dual DAC only when we are using the native player or it will work when streaming music from spotify as well? Thanks.

  I'm playing with my new DP-X1 and downloaded some Tidal HiFi tracks to the micro sd card in slot 1.  So far, no blips or distortion when playing back in offline mode from the micro sd card...using Shure SE846s with a balanced cable in "ACG" mode.
 
Also, this player was "Used-Like New" from Amazon warehouse and has a loose 2.5mm jack so it is going back.  Have another on the way, purchased new on Black Friday, hopefully it will not have the same issue.

 
Hey brother! I'm also using the DP-X1 with SE846, balanced, and ACG. So lovely
 
I do however occasionally get blips with offline content...but thought it was because of my shoty wifi signal . Not frequent enough to bug me though.
 
No loose 2.5mm jack for me, sorry to hear you ran into that problem.

 

[midlandcanary]

Hey, 
 
I have the same question, does the gain knob work for Spotify, Tidal etc. So I should be able to increase gain for these? 
 
Also what kind of plug does the Onkyo come with? current best place to buy it? 
 
Thanks,

yes, the dual dac works in 3rd party apps
