Onkyo made these changes:
1.) They doubled the internal memory, from 32GB to 64GB.
2.) They apparently used some lower power digital circuits, since the battery life is longer.
3.) They used some upgraded capacitors in the analog circuits.
4.) There's apparently a Microphone where the DP-X1 has a Reset button, and the 3.5mm jack is a TRRS, which can use earphone cables with a Microphone. (* at least one forum member reported being able to use Skype)
What do you guys think about getting a used DPX1? I'm thinking of getting one from e-earphone on my next Japan trip. The X1a is out of my budget, this is my first DAP. I'm worried that a used set would have abysmal battery life.
I checked the manual and it kind of appears that it maxes out the amp instead of bypassing. They weren't completely clear. Maybe somebody here has more info on this?
Here's what the manual says: Line out mode
You can switch the headphone output to the
line output mode to connect external
equipment.
0 When you have "Line out mode" on, output
through the headphone jack is at
maximum volume, so do not use
headphones. Adjust the volume on the
connected device.

Greatly appreciate if anyone can help answer a couple of questions here:
1. How is this different from the DP-S1A since a couple of listings I came across shows that the DP-X1A is cheaper than the DP-S1A?
2. Any difference if I decide to purchase the Japanese model over the International model?
3. Any notable issues that still persists since launch?
Pros Well made and looks OK
Cons You cant really get at most buttons or change tracks with it on - it'll do for carrying it about but no good for making selections etc
