Updating Android.
First impression, it is really light weight on hand and feel good.
Now, need to get a leather case.

If you'd like a case that protects the screen, you might consider the ZZOZZ model that I ordered - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZZOZZ-Genuine-Leather-FLIP-Case-for-Onkyo-DP-X1-with-Earphone-Case-X1F-/172215375616
 
Take Care,

Not what I have in mind, but thanks for the pointer.

After having some troubles with quick battery drainage I went through the whole settings of the device. Step-by-step. There are a couple of "push" settings included which reduce battery time... seems to be a better now.
 
However I just received the DP-X1A from Amazon Japan today. Been switching microSDXC cards from the X1 to the X1A comparing the soundstage, the clearity - the feeling it gives me.
 
To sum it up:
Whatever Onkyo did to the hardware - I like it
 
1. The X1A form Japan is louder.
Not just a little bit - it gives it a whole new bang and gets way more out of the headphones I'm using (Beyerdynamic DT990 Edition 250 ohms, Beyerdynamic T90 250 ohm, Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Customfit). This could be due to the stupid EU regulation to max the volume so that people don't get hearing damages (Thank you EU, I can decide on my own how loud I prefer my music).
I will most likely make a short trip to Heilbronn (Germany) to Beyerdynamic and try out the T1.2 (600 ohms) with the balanced 2.5 mm cable that will be provided by Beyer most likely in April.
 
2. Even though the X1 as well as the X1A have the same battery (1.630 mAh) the X1A will last a couple of hours longer.
This could also be due to a faulty X1 as I've been complaining about battery life from the day I got it,
...BUT: I checked carefully to have exact the same settings, the same apps installed, the same music, the same headphones - it is draining slower - even when downloading TIDAL for offline listening.
 
3. Not sound-related: CHEAPER!
The X1 currently costs EUR 770 at Amazon.de
The X1A cost me EUR 420 incl. shipping and handling at Amazon.jp.co
That is EUR 350!!! (US $372!!!)
 
Well, the X1A is a keeper. Will return the X1 to Amazon.de as I'm still in the return period.
 
Sorry, or the long post - but I just head to write that down to lose the smile in my face... Haha!

Also is it a way to browse the lan and or  my local DNLA server with the stock music Player and so far I can only use the same stock player to play thru the Mojo USB audio.?
 
how to make it play with HibyMusic since with it I can browse the Lan but no sound thru OTG so far?

i'm using android file transfer through USB connection BUT it only allows a max size of 4GB per transfer. 

The problem might be your card format, not android file transfer. Is your card FAT32? If so try exFat

I got Adb on my computer Infarct I am talking about the onkyo driver in order to have the unit visible in my computer like to use MTP  I went to http://jp.onkyo.com/audiovisual/dap/ but cannot find them

 

[ThomasHK]

DP-X1 is going for a loooow price now on Amazon JP. Anyone bought one of there recently? Is the loose jack thing still an issue or is that a thing of the past now. 
 
 
 
PS: I know this issue has been discussed a gazillion times, but I thought better to get a latest update on the topic

 

[mikeral]

No such thing for Mac. Mac and Android are at war
