Okay. Greatly appreciated. That is very reassuring. I don't remember who on here said this, but they told me that the A gets close to 20 hours of battery life. That is pretty impressive. I am coming from an original X5 by Fiio. It is just kind of dated with the scroll wheel and slow UI. I also find the way it sorts songs is not helpful for me. They are sorted by file name on the original only according to Fiio when I asked them. Does the DPX1 sort songs by file name or track name? How is the UI is it smooth and fairly quick and simple with few minor bugs?
The DP-X1 sorts files and folders any way you want it to. You can simply browse the folder structures, or go through you library based on tags (artist, genre, album, etc).
I find the UI quite pleasant and smooth and it works without issues. There are two things I find annoying, however:
1. Setting volume responds quickly, but the volume indication on the screen seems to lag. Set the volume and the effect is directly audible, but the indicator ion the screen seems to respond slowly. I got used to sliding the volume slider on the screen, since this seems to get a quicker response
2. Starting a song, stopping a song or skipping a song is done with a very short fade in / fade out, which creates a feel of slowness. Mind you, response is very quick and does not lag in any way, but because of the fade and fade out, it does feel slower than it actually is. Still looking for a way to disable this.
All in all nothing to worry about and I am very happy with the device. The look and feel really appeal to me and the sound quality is really outstanding when combined with my IEMs (NOCS NS800). Would buy it again in a heartbeat if I ever had to.
