  Woo Hoo It's HERE!!!

Sweet! Hopefully we can get an unboxing in English so I can understand it.

Will the DP-X1 be available in Europe soon ?

Would you mind posting pics? Could you elaborate ? Did you put the suguru around the entire circumference ? How deep and how many layers?

I tried taking pictures but since I used black sugru it just shows a black "ring" surround the socket, not any different to an unmodified setup.
 
I just took a tiny amount of sugru and rolled it into 1mm strings. I then plugged the cable into to have a "lever" and seal the hole. I carefully laid the sugru strings around the socket and pushed into the gap as good as possible. It's been a few week, so I can't tell for sure if I only did one layer, but that's what I recall. Using the 2.5mm plug I straightened the socket just a tiny bit before I squeezed in some sugru. It's hard to tell, but I don't think the sugru layer was any bigger/deeper than a small o-ring, say 1mm. The next day I trimmed off the excess with a scalpel. The TRRS socket is now solid and I have to apply quite a bit of pressure to move it sideways (not that did that more than one )
 
Hope that helps.

Erm, al the Onkyo DP-X1 units have, from what I understand, identical packaging, as well as English, Japanese, French, etc instructions.

Take a look at my box (from my Japanese replacement unit):



So where you see the Japanese barcode on the top right-hand side, that's a sticker. Thus Onkyo changes just this sticker for each country of distribution of these units.
Cheap and ergonomic!

Spoiler: Bonus pic

Just for those interested, yes I'm listening to Nine Inch Nails 'The Downward Spiral' in DSD, taken from my Hybrid SACD and DSD layer ripped via a friends PS3 years ago:

I was referring to a YouTube unboxing. A review would be nice too.

Good job! At least you have done some thing to help it. Suguru can be easily removed, if warranty is needed. However, beside the socket being bad, I really don't see anything else would give soon on the DP-X1

Thanks
 
Actually, when I had to send my unit back to PJ for warranty repair I wasn't able to remove all of the Sugru surrounding the Jack. It's just that you can only scrape so much out of the small gap as your tool will get stuck. I was a little worried, but since I used black Sugru is was literally invisible and I didn't have any problem with the warranty exchange

I just did 2 serious accidental durability tests on the balanced output of my new X1.  My IEM able got caught on a door handle twice and ripped out the headphone plug.  Thankfully, everything is fine, but I thought I was going to be sending back my unit already.  Honestly if it didn't get damaged during that test, I am not too worried.

LOL, I think the second day I had my DP-X1 it fell out of a robe pocket, pulled so hard that the headphone cable plugged into the 2.5mm jack got yanked out really hard, the X1 crashed to the floor (carpet luckily) and like you no worse for the wear.

If the 'phone sockets are not jigged to be central in casing holes when being soldered to the PCB then the offsets reported by users may occur.
 
To start forcing the sockets to be more central in the holes puts a strain on the soldering and then failure may occur.
 
Leave well alone and enjoy the music!
