The cool thing about this is that you have to constantly tap on the screen the entire time, or else the system would turn off on its own
Five stars for the sound quality (which is the most important thing), one star for the build quality.
If you're setting this up, downloading a lot, and setting stuff up - this thing will get *really* warm, and programs start to crash.
Now, onto some nicer things to say:-Once the bloatware is disabled, I can get about 12 hours of streaming on Spotify (extreme quality).-the android functionality is very very smooth
Also, beware - this product I purchased was sold by Onkyo's Japan arm, not the US, which made it impossible to get warranty service.
This is a very good product and like how the music sounds and how you can gonna tune your preference via dap settings but the onkyo player app is a but clunky and not as easy to use as others I've tried and the bluetooth sucks when I want to listen wirelessly.
I've had this product for a week and really enjoy it, but there are a few issues:-the android
I am really enjoying this player and love the ability to use two MicroSD cards!
Never before have I heard a music player capable of this kind of sound quality.
The screen felt cheap and plastic-y
I am sorry Onkyo, I so wanted to love this player because of its great sound but because of its poor battery life I have to rate it as pretty well useless.
As an aside, however, my laptop computer, equipped with its good audio player App and separate DAC, sounds even better
That aside, I am also a wee bit undecided as to whether to stick with my combo of X1+ Shure SE846CLs (an Amazon purchase in 2014
this is almost the perfect overall DAP with good price and sound.
I LOVE this DAP
I'v had this DAP for several months and am finally satisfied with it's performance which is as good as I've ever heard (now) but this model is a challenge to configure correctly.

Im new in this sector but in very needy when it comes to good quality sound
But the sound quality is excellent and the player is high quality and a pleasure to use
That aside, I am also a wee bit undecided as to whether to stick with my combo of X1+ Shure SE846CLs (an Amazon purchase in 2014
Very poor quality and poor customer service from the Onkyo whom does not back defective products!Onkyo music software for transferring HD music files to the DAP is absolutely the worst used from any DAP owned.
The most important: clear and nice sound quality espeсially playing hi-res files
sound stage - while this is a cliché in audiophile circles, the DP-1XA's soundstage is so accurate that you'll hear the singers somewhere in the middle of your head.
That aside, I am also a wee bit undecided as to whether to stick with my combo of X1+ Shure SE846CLs (an Amazon purchase in 2014
Remarkable quality and sound, very solid build, fantastic soundstage

The Onkyo is snappy and just "works" without any direction
The Onkyo, with a bit of EQ fiddling (which is easy and fun) sounds as good or better
I DID purchase a screen protector pack LifeBox Tempered Glass for Onkyo DP-X1 Digital Audio Player Screen Protection Premium 0.33mm (2 PACK) from Amazon along with the DP-X1, which arrived with the device the day The Donald became The President - as a birthday present to myself

Audio is excellent with balanced earphones if you can find some
Real audiophile would like the excellent audio.

Tried removing and/or disabling unused apps, no dice!Now for the most annoying part: After about 20 minutes of attempting to listen to something, the audio cut outs would get worse and worse, and the system would get super hot

I keep having those moments where I stop what i'm doing and just listen to the music in my ears and think "now that sounds beautiful".So is this product for you?Well, if you enjoy android's interface, and want 3rd party android apps that work smoothly, then this is for you

I used to own a FiiO X7, and this was definitely not the case, they had a much harder time implementing android into their device.-3rd party android app support

The battery is terrible, i permanently use it on battery saver mode of Android, which doesn't effect performance of the music player
Minus one star for not awful but poor battery life
I am sorry Onkyo, I so wanted to love this player because of its great sound but because of its poor battery life I have to rate it as pretty well useless.
Battery life not that great but good enough for maybe 5 hour max plane flight
