Actually I just watched the demo of Google Home... freaky

Thanks for the tip. I'm not familiar with what you mean. Would I lower the WiFi channel at the router or at the DAP? I'm guessing the router.

Yes, on the router.

I'll check it out. Thank You.

I did some reading on this thread (not an easy task, considering there are 880 pages!), and it looks like the dual DACs are only supported from Onkyio built in player. In other words, no dual DACs are supported from third party music apps (such as Tidal), even if using it in "balanced" mode with balanced cables coming from the 2.5 mm balanced output to balanced-compatible headphones.
 
Is that correct?

Just got the X1A! It took forever to startup... but WOW coming from the fiio x7, I have to immediately say it looks and feels much better. Also, the screen is beautiful. Updating firmware now, then I'll download Spotify and tidal, and compare to a few flac files I have.

edit: welp, the battery went from 20% to 0% in about half of a song.. gonna have to recharge it to make sure there isn't a battery issue.

The interface is very smooth, but for some reason neutron won't allow me to change the volume while in its app.

Anybody knows this? If that's the case, I am returning the Onkyo. I bought it just for the streaming Tidal HiFi from the Tidal app. Thanks!

Let's know when you have news about battery and sound quality comparsion.

​I will soon.... currently waiting for the X-DAP software to finish transferring songs... it's painstakingly slow.
 
After that I'll A/B test the difference between tidal and my tracks. So far I'm using Spotify at 320kbps, it's powering my HD6XX very well.
 
in terms of performance this thing is a champ.

Did you charge it up to 100% make sure the initial charge was to max.

​its at 100% now, I just need to wait for the x-dap program to finish transferring my songs. It takes a couple hours.

Please help me decide between dp-x1 and A&K 120 MK2
 
Dp-x1 brand new $549  or A&K open box works perfect $799
 
what I'm really interested in is the sound quality, rest is history
 
 
TY

Just to chime in on battery life, I had the Onkyo for a couple days. Battery life for me was horrible. I charged it to 100% before turning it on the first time, and by the time it fully booted it was down to 65%. I decided to return it because of the battery life and because I found it to just be too big. I hope everyone is having better luck than I did with battery life.

AK120ii sounds way much better compared to DP-X1

I am not sure about this and I hope not, but on top of it with the built it player you cannot browse and so  cannot play DNLA from a wireless network witch is very strange for a WIFI player in those case I am using Hiby Music or USB audio Player.
 
I just found out the hi gain mode in sound & notification, now I like the sound much better for my demanding IEM

​where do you live? DP X1 is showing up as 500 for me on amazon
 
also, if its an AK120 MK2, just buy it and flip it.. isn't 799 a steal anyway?
 
and whenever someone tells you "this is better" they should be saying "IMO, this is better"
