As is everything else, and that is very unfortunate.90% of the audiophile world is a marketing ploy my friend.

For poweramp users, does anyone of you have issues with songs in the playlists being erased once you restart your DP-X1? I know i should be using the native app but i got used to poweramp's UI
I'm a big fan of PowerAmp too, but I haven't experienced that problem. I HAVE experience PA to not even find music though, I'm guessing a tagging issue. I'm not a fan at all of the Onkyo player.For poweramp users, does anyone of you have issues with songs in the playlists being erased once you restart your DP-X1?

I'm having no problems with the tags on PA, only playlist issues. I'm only comfortable using PA as Onkyo music player app jumbles up some tracks which makes it hard to navigate hence spoils the mood. Maybe it's my fault for being lazy. I guess i'll have to re-tag someday.I'm a big fan of PowerAmp too, but I haven't experienced that problem.

I just try to find something new about root. But i disabled some service so my x1 can’t operate normal. Hope someone can give me default rom of dp-x1a

I've just got my 2.5mm TRRS balanced cable and is literally second song in ("Hell is Chrome" and "Spiders" from Wilco's A Ghost Is Born) on my first listen... I made an effort to analyse the same tracks before I replaced the cable (which was pretty badly worn out, so it could be that). But everything is fuller, and rounder, more dynamics... quite impressed!
One of my main observations over the last year with the Onkyo is that I've come to realize the Lock Range Adjustment is hugely important to me. I find that having it set to as Narrow as possible (far right setting) gets the best soundstage and is the most natural sounding. I've been aiming to use that setting for a long time, but realized that (as the warning suggests), it becomes too much for the DAC to bear on busier material (especially with 24-bit FLACs), and it starts skipping intermittently. 16-bit/44.1khz stuff it handles OK, and I ramp it up for the CD stuff.
Anyhow, it just occurred to me (though I hadn't anticipated this before I got the cable) -- by using the Twin DAC feature and having a DAC dedicated to one channel at a time, it seems to be able to deal with the highest LRA setting with no skips!! If I had known this, I would have switched to balanced earlier!
I'm throwing my busier and highest sampled stuff at it at the moment. Fingers crossed.
[p.s. Oops, I just realized I posted to the wrong thread. This was intended for the DP-S1 thread. However, I'm sure the same features apply ... and since I can't seem to find a Delete function, I'll leave it here]

Hi!
Anyone here has a good eq-settings for Shure 535? I have tried to get rid of that harshness without loosing some of the soundstage and sound quality but have not manage to do that. Im very bad with eq.

Same here.

Hello,
Nice to hear that.
Did you try a mono soundfile by any chance? When I try that on my player plugged onto a Oppo PM3, I can clearly see that there is a problem between channels. I wonder if it is only me...
The open stage you are talking about is not a phase issue between channels? Just asking because I would like to know if only me have an issue here.
Enjoy the machine!!

I always turn EQ off but not in this case.
Whats your settings? In SE there is zero harshness and the sound is really smooth. But in BAL the sound is really really sharp, ”ss” ”sh” literally hurts to listen to. Could it be my cable? I use this one:

What settings are you using? Bal or Acg or unbal? Sharp,short,slow? Wide narrow? Dsf off or on?

With the USB cable connected, can you access the DP-X1 with the adb or fastboot commands, after powering-on when holding either the Forward or Reverse button, while pressing the Power button?
If so, you should be able to re-flash either the stock ROM image, or the rooted one.
Anyone know where to buy plastic case for this?

for those spotify users, are you able to save the downloaded offline files into the micro sd card or in its 32gb(dpx1)/64gb(dpx1a) internal memory?
