Pioneer's first DAP, the XDP-100R announced in IFA
- Thread starter AnakChan
- Start date
Been listening to this DAP all evening and I must say.......I'm impressed. It has one of the most revealing characteristics I have heard from any DAP. With ESS at the heart of this unit detail was always going to be on the agenda. The construction is gorgeous and I love the feel of the cold metal and weight of the unit. Definitely a step up from Jr in my opinion. Not as much power as AR-M2 but it's a different beast. This has more refinement over the AR-M2, where the AR-M2 is brutus. The feature set of the XDP100R kind of makes it a no brainer at £500 tbh.

How's the soundstaging of the Pioneer like? And does the mojo make for a big step up?
Some people say that the Pioneer and the Onkyo sound almost the same, and that the Onkyo is much more transparent and spacious Than the mojo. I find it possible regarding the spaciousness but in terms of resolution and the finesse, I find the mojo hard to beat in the portable realm

I myself find Mojo to be too congested, Onkyo is airy and reveals many details. I think the single ended of Pioneer should sound almost like Onkyo's but the balanced is where Onkyo shine. If you got the chance and a wee bit more money to spare, I say go for broke.

Curious if the Pioneer has the same software limitations that the Onkyo has right now? From some noises on the Onkyo thrread it sounds like the Onkyo needs a fw update to add a few features and smooth out the UI to make it a little more user friendly.

So if this player is, unlike the Onkyo, supposedly available worldwide outside of Japan, why can I not find anywhere to buy it in North America?

Thanks, I see it now. I would be wary of importing from Japan, though, because of warranty concerns. But it is tempting. So it looks like, for whatever reason, the Pioneer displays album art during playback, but the Onkyo does not. How bizarre. Can anyone attest to whether the Pioneer has folder browsing in its stock player?

Wow, the price of Pioneer on Amazon is even higher than Onkyo. Pricejapan sell DP-X1 at 641$ (FedEx cost included). For me I don't worry much about warranty. If the unit has a problem I just return it to Pricejapan and they will take care of it.
