Would getting a 3.5mm to 2.5mm balanced adapter make it "balanced"?

No! Not at all and if used could possibly end up damaging your dpx1! You can adapt 2.5 trrs to 3.5trs/trrs but you cannot go 3.5trs to 2.5trrs

Wrong. It's not the adapter that matters. If the cabling (pinouts) are correct then it shouldn't be a problem. In actuality it won't damage the player. It will just not a properly balanced head phone as the negative right channel will mixed with left positive and vice versa so you will have cross over noises.

You could also short the grounds together, or short the positive leads, or any such mismatch. That is bad. You simply cannot run from the L+/L- and R+/R- to L/R/Gnd. Left and right sides need to be kept separate.

You can run a balanced wire into SE port. But you cannot and should not run a single-ended / shared ground cable into a balanced port. That is asking for trouble. In this case, Onkyo probably does have a protection circuit in place, but in general I wouldn't count on it.

Can anyone explain how to apply the tempered glass? It's all in Japanese and it comes with: tempered glass, some other plastic casing, dry screen wiper, wet screen wiper, and a white sticker. Is there some step by step directions? I was unable to Google the product DPA-GL033 and PDF or manual to find any directions.

Here is picture of the DPA-GL033 contents:

It is fairly easy. Turn off the DP-X1. Wipe down the player glass screen with the included alcohol wipe. This gets rid of grease / fingerprints / dust.

The tempered glass has two sides -- one is sticky and is covered by the protective plastic. The other is just the glass. Peel off the plastic to reveal the sticky side.

Holding the protector by the edges, gently place the sticky side down on the DP-X1 screen. It is easiest to start on the smaller edge and to start at a corner. Adjust the angle so you get the protector at the right angle for your device, all squared up to the screen.

Gently lay down the rest of the screen protector. It will still be a little floaty and able to be adjusted while you lay the whole thing down. Once it is down fully, press on one corner and work your way across to the opposite corner, pressing down with a credit card to squeegee the air bubbles out. Work from the inside / center if the screen and work outwards to press the bubbles to the side of the screen and out. If you have any smaller bubbles, they will generally work out within 24 hours.

The sticky side likes to attract any dust particles in the air. I recommend installing in a very steamy bathroom with the shower going. Let it fog up really well to knock any dust out of the air before peel off the sticky layer.

There is nothing really special about the Onkyo screen protector. The install process is the same as it is for any tempered glass screen protector, mins the complication of button or speaker cutouts. You should be able to find plenty of tutorials and examples on YouTube if you search for "tempered glass screen protector install".

hey, again, as I'm likely to be getting the player in a week or so figured I'd again throw this out here
 
- anyone with Shure 846s want to chime in? I heard that there are hiss issues with some of the streaming options but for regular playback is it at all evident? Had to return the Questyle as the hissing was far too distracting
 
- I know folder browse was added post-launch, any issues/quibbles I should know about (say with a 200gb card filled with Mp3s)
 
- Any other pre-release quibbles that may not be the obvious ones are more than welcome
 
cheers

Yes, SE 3.5 to Balanced 2.5 is bad juju. But not swapping a cable line from a 1:1 trrs 3.5 with an adaptor 2.5 on will not short the system.
Right side ear cup (-r=+l, +r=+r)
Left side ear cup (+l=-l, -l=-r)

From what I'm seeing no shorten line. But what do I know I'm just an electrical engineer.

dpx1 plus se846 balanced is pure magic, no hiss, becareful with the mmcx connectors of your custom cable, get the best quality

 

[morri]

I have a question might me off topic
How to connect
1) Onkyo X1
2) Onkyo ha 300
Line out to a Bose sound dock 10 speaker that has only a line in !
And is there a special cable required

My impact audio cables are built with eidolon mmcx connectors for Shure SE535 with absolute no hiss.

From what I am reading of your above statement, I do not think we are speaking about the same things.

Set Onkyo player to line-out. Connect with 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable. I don't really see what the problem is?

 

[morri]

Was t sure

Wasn't sure what the setting and cable would be. I know the dp X1has a line out. But the da 300 wasn't sure
Thanks again

  I was never able to confirm that the DP-X1 had Gorilla Glass, but I remember reading a reputable source that suggested it did. Where did you hear that it has Gorilla Glass?

I must confess I think I HEARD it too

 

[Whitigir]

A gorilla told me last night that this DP-X1 did in fact use the glass made by his family member.
