Thanks. I checked my SW version and looks like I'm on it. Don't remember updating it. Weird. But thanks.

In sounds settings on my DP-X1, it offers:
- High
- Normal
- Low 1
- Low 2
It was set to default to high. I use it with both IEM's (A + K Michelle's) and cans (Audeze EL-8 Titanium), both with balanced cables.
Any recommendation as to what gain setting I should use?
Good news!
We have two dp-x1a in our owner group, it seems they can better drive some iem than dp-x1 (xdp-300r). I think the larger capacitors do work to add to its capabilities.
So I will suggest you go for dp-x1a instead of dp-x1/xdp-300r.
Their sound may sound the same on the easy to drive IEM but when more control is needed the dp-x1a will win.
Good job Onkyo!
That is great. Has the battery issue been resolved? Can the A drive headphones like the V-Moda M100 pretty well? I find my original Fiio X5 cannot do this. Only my computers can do this as of right now. I have no amps, DACs, or other daps to try. That is all I own dap wise right now.

I think it can drive the M100. My dpx1 can drive k712.
Okay. I have no place to try audio gear because I live in the country over 100 miles from any major city. the 2 closest being Sacramento and San Francisco. Sacramento does not have any audio stores other than a few Magnolia stores that carry very little audio because it is a very small Magnolia store and a pretty small market about small enough not have one really. It is 2 hours away. San Francisco is over 3 with the traffic. That is an all day trip for me.
Thanks

Go for dp-x1a. No wonder only in a few months it has released it becomes the No.4 in total sales amount (for year 2016) in e-earphones.
Okay. Is the battery drainage problem solved on the A version? That is my biggest concern. I think, but could be wrong that I have seen a lot of posts saying the original and the A both lack power to drive headphones and even some iems. That is my other main concern.
Thanks

Ive had 2 different DP-X1s and no issues with battery 12 hours plus playing Tidal hifi. I have PM3 and M100 and they are fine with it but does sound better with my Mojo.
