Reviews say it is good; good build quality and easy-to-press buttons on the side.

Kindly post some pictures once youve got the item. . also with dxp1..

The hardware buttons on my DP-X1 work with the neutron without any issues.

i'm also using win10 64bit , in my case, when the DP-X1 is in the fastboot mode (penguin screen) my pc only detects it as "Android" in the device manager with yellow exclamation beside it. maybe you could try with different PC and see if it could detect the DP-X1 in the fastboot mode, good luck

 
Same here, want to try it over xmas. W10 64bit and same behaviour, but on w7 64bit (older pc) too

I listened for some time to my new Onkyo DP-X1A, Chord Mojo (transport from iPhone 6s and DP-X1A) and colleague's Sony NW-WM1A. I must say that in terms of pure sound quality - the Sony NW-WM1A wins hands down. Don't get me wrong, I love my new DP-X1A, but even in comparison to the Mojo its music is very polite, with somewhat distilled punch/drive/emotion, as my colleague said "without balls". In terms of punch/drive/emotion the DP-X1A is the worst of the bunch, with the Mojo being much better and the NW-WM1A even slightly surpassing the Mojo (kudos Sony!).
 
I'm glad I got the Mojo - since the Sony can't play YouTube music videos - the Onkyo can and paired with the Mojo it's very close in sound quality to the Sony. 2 devices though.

thanks, man ... with what headphones you made the comparison ?

thanks a lot ... great to know that

@lazner ... you may leave your DPX-1A on playback for sometime may its sound become better ... as many reported that the WM-1A sounds even better after the stated burning in period and some reported that it continue to change even in 400h of burniing in ... as my RSA predator which i own and still love so much needed a huge time of burning in and takes more than 600 h to sound its best !!!  even my walkman changed in about 200h or so to sound more musical and warmer than its out of the box ( was dry and lack the sense of lifeness .. kinda reminds me of the sound sig of an ipod ! ) ... so you can try you wont loose any thing

I have the Pioneer XDP-300R, can anyone comment on how it compares to DPX1A?

i think XDP-300R is more DP-X1 than 1A

i think XDP-300R is more DP-X1 than 1A

So basically 1A should sound better? I only use iems and I don't use headphones so I don't require so much driving power

Usually for a Sabre chip(s) you should find the IEM/phones which match with its signature. I personally find the ES3 as a very good match.
On the other hand the ER4SR get brighter with the Pioneer - and they will get a new cable and Burr-Brown DAC/AMP soon.
From my experience it's much easier to find a proper match for both AKM and Burr-Brown than for the ESS based source.

Find an older PC with Win7-32 and tried generic drivers too, changed cables, but that did not help.
 
So I choosed another route and installed Kingroot.
 
Then I used flashify for installingTtwrp und after that installed the custom Rom via Twrp, success.
 
Because I do not really like Kingroot I deinstalled it and lose root, but kept Twrp.
 
After rebooting into Twrp and reinstalling the prerooted ROM I now have SuperSu installed and verified it with installing Busybox pro.
 
Now I can play arround a little bit more over xmas

don't know ... but i believe so ... some say they sound identical.. some say there is a very slight difference in favor of the 1A

I was listening through these cans: B&W P7, AKG K7xx, Grado GH1, Beyerdynamic T1.2 and Sony MDR-Z1R and these IEMs: JVC HA-FX1100, Onkyo E700M, Sony MDR-EX750AP and Shure SE535. The overall "polite" musical expression of my Onkyo DP-X1A compared to the Mojo and Sony NW-WM1A was absolutely clear with all these.
 
As one would expect the Sony played really well with MDR-Z1R and T1.2. The Onkyo really shines for some reason with the "wooden" models HA-FX1100 and GH1.
 
I want to hear Campfire Andromeda and see how they pair with my pocket clinician DP-X1A. Anyone knows if Andromeda + DP-X1/A is a good match?
