Onkyo DP-X1A Overview

With the DP-X1A Wireless Digital Audio Player from Onkyo, you get audiophile quality in the palm of your hand. At its heart, the DP-X1A reproduces balanced audio through twin SABRE DACs (ES9018K2M) and amplifiers (9601K), which have their own Nippon Chemi-Con "MELODIO"-based electro-conductive polymer capacitors, helping to provide a clean audio experience that minimizes noise. The construction of the DP-X1A further enhances this, with the DAC and amp board being separated from the CPU board of the player.

The DP-X1A stores its audio on 64GB of internal storage, which can be upgraded with one or two (optional) microSD cards. Each card slot supports up to 256GB cards, for a potential 576GB of total storage. To help make navigating all of this content easier is an intuitive GUI and 4.7" touchscreen display. Flip through your audio and album art like you would on a typical smartphone, or use the physical buttons for "no look" playback operation.

Onkyo has given the DP-X1A the ability to not just play the music you put in it, but also to reach out and discover more. Through the built-in Android OS and dual-band Wi-Fi, you can stream from apps, such as Pandora or Spotify, or purchase music from the OnkyoMusic store. Bluetooth and aptX technology lets you share your music by casting to compatible devices, such as a home audio system, wireless speaker, or car stereo. For wired listening, you can use the gold-plated 2.5mm 4-pole or 3.5mm 3-pole headphone/line outputs.

Adding to the DP-X1A's capabilities is support for a myriad of uncompressed and compressed file formats, digital upconversion to near-DSD, a high precision EQ, and more. All of this technology is housed in a rugged, lightweight aluminum frame that lets you take dynamic, high-resolution audio almost anywhere.

Digital Media Formats
The DP-X1A is capable of playing back MQA, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF up to 384 kHz/24-bit, DSD, DSF, DSD-IFF, WAV, Ogg-Vorbis, MP3, and AAC file formats.
Note:
32-bit files are automatically downconverted to 24-bit.
MQA Hi-Res Audio
The MQA format gives you the ability to capture and preserve audio fidelity of original recordings with a high bitrate and sampling rate, yet at a size small enough to stream.
DSD Conversion
Support for compressed formats, such as MP3, WAV, and FLAC does not mean those files must provide a less than ideal listening experience. With Direct Stream Digital conversion, these compressed files are converted in real time to DSD-quality audio. Using oversampling and pushing bit quantization outside of the audible spectrum, is meant to allow for a clearer signal.
Streaming Media
Utilizing the built-in Wi-Fi connection, the DP-X1A can stream content from a wide array of platforms, such as Google Play, TIDAL, TuneIn, Pandora, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
OnkyoMusic Store
Purchase and download hi-res audio from the OnkyoMusic store directly from the DP-X1A when connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.
High Precision EQ-HD
With up to 16,384 discrete bands to select from, and the ability to save up to 1000 EQ profiles, the linear-phase FIR equalizer is designed to offer high definition equalization with zero loss in audio quality.
Balanced Drive Options
Balanced 2.5mm 4-pole output supports the more standard Balanced (BTL) drive as well as the ACG (Active Control GND) drive. ACG drive is designed to give greater stability: increased S/N ratio; greater spatial dimensionality, and clean sound; greater delineation for lower frequencies in hi-res audio, and overall robust and taut sound. BTL drive supplies increased power. Power gains and increased sound separation associated with balanced output are repurposed to help create increased stability for a clean signal and greater sound clarity, especially compared to unbalanced drive.
X-DAP Music Management
X-DAP Link will search your music libraries, including music purchased from other services, and will transfer your non-DRM protected music, and related metadata, to the selected storage location on the DP-X1A. X-DAP is available for both Mac and Windows PC.
