Somebody compared him to fiio x7? who sounds better?

I've compared the Fiio X7 to the Onkyo DP-X1 in my review of the X7, linked here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/fiio-x7/reviews/15045#user_Non-volume_matched_comparisons
In summary, to me the X7 and the DP-X1 are very close to each other in sound quality, at least in single-ended mode. As for balanced mode, we'll have to wait to see when Fiio actually releases the balanced amp module for the X7.

The photo of broken 2.5 jack. I believe I know a bit of history about it.
It was taken from a second hand auction web site in China. The unit was selling from a girl who believed to have accidentally sit on the unit with the jack attached.
One of our chat group member bid on the unit and after receiving it and inspected it cannot be repaired, he returned the unit to original purchaser.

IMO I like the SQ of Onkyo DP-X1 much better than Fiio X7 in SE mode. It is not because I own DP-X1 but I have also listened to X7 at CanJam SoCal 2016 which has SQ not to special to my ears and much cleaner than my X5.
In fact, they are torn between x5, x7 and onkyo dp x1, x5 and x7 between c is much difference SQ?
l onkyo is superior in SQ to x7 of little or a lot?
thank you.

Agree, once you go DIGNIS, the PUX1 is just feels cheeeepp.. No offence to other users here.
I have both and sold the PUX1 once the DIGNIS arrived. Never been happier. =D
It depends on what hps and/or IEMs you like to listen to each DAP. To me X7's SQ is superior to X5 (maybe because I listened with the best set up at CanJam SoCal) whereas I still love the SQ of X5 paired with IE800.
I would say the SQ of DP-X1 is superior to X7 when listening with balanced output.
STOP TEASING ME BARSTOOL and post a link so I can see if I should get one whilst my wallet runs of somewhere!
(British humour btw, love you lots!).
Here..here... http://www.dignisdesign.com. Your DP-X1 wil love you for it. Haha...
Quick fact, Dignis is the maker of leather cases for Astell&Kern DAP. So all those Buttero Italian leather case are actually put together by them. How do I know that? Well, I've asked them whether I can get the same leather case for my AK, but rejected as they have some sort of trade agreement with AK for exclusivity.
Cheers!
