While the sound is warm and "musical", the controls and Android OS lag are infuriating. I've been reading reviews of the Onkyo DP-X1A for a while and decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did. My music library is about 100Gb of various formats from FLAC to moderate bitrate Mp3. I use unbalanced Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones for most of my listening. These cans have served me well and have a nice musical sound to them. So far, the Onkyo is a better player for my uses. Here's what I've found. Sound: The FiiO has a really good default sound. The Onkyo, with a bit of EQ fiddling (which is easy and fun) sounds as good or better. It has more definition on the high end and is less punchy, but the EQ lets you do what you wish with the sound. The wireless on the Onkyo performs on par with modern wireless devices. I find the FiiO to be slow and buggy. Features: 2x Micro-SD Slots on both. The FiiO implementation is better as there really isn't any way to inadvertently eject the media. The Onkyo has the spring in/spring out openings for the cards which exposes them to inadvertent ejection. No case comes with the Onkyo. The FiiO includes 2 cases. Both have a USB charging cable. OS: The OS implementation is night and day. The FiiO lagged every few seconds and was frustrating to use. The Onkyo is smooth and near instantaneous. The controls are also very intuitive and easy to use. Android also allows you to run pretty much whatever else you may need. Music Player Software: The FiiO is sluggish to scan media. I often had to tell it to update after adding new albums. The Onkyo is snappy and just "works" without any direction. Because of the lag on the FiiO, I have to give a strong nod to the Onkyo here. It works the way I expect a modern device to work. I also prefer the design of the interface. Both are slow to upload too when connected via USB. It's much faster to load the cards from a reader attached to a computer. Neither had a preponderance of bloatware installed. Form Factor: It's a larger unit, which is OK for me. My eyesight isn't what it used to be and I prefer the larger screen. FiiO all in/out jacks are on the bottom. Onkyo in/out on the top and micro USB on the bottom. This is a preferential wash. Both volume wheels are nice. The control layout of the Onkyo is more to my liking. Onkyo uses a combined 2.5mm jack for line in / out with a software switch. FiiO has a dedicated jack for each. Battery: Too early to tell. They both last a 4 to 5 hour flight but they aren't the most battery friendly devices on the planet. Time will tell the tale. Other: The FiiO can be used as a USB DAC for computer out. The Onkyo can't. Hope this helps with a decision. Review: Excellent sound not so great operating system could use some improvements with functionality - I intentionally waited quite a while to leave a review for this item given that it is expensive. First off, I have had no issues with this seller. The sound quality on this item is excellent. I have been disappointed with the ease of use for this item. As many others have indicated the dedicated ONKYO software to load songs from your PC to the device is sadly lacking unless you have a massive amount of time to work with it. The onboard music app leaves quite a bit to desire as it is difficult to catalog music and find it as needed. I have had issues with the Bluetooth dropping the signal (which seems to be an issue with most Bluetooth devices) and would not rely on The Bluetooth functionality for parties or gigs. This device works well when plugged in directly into the line in Jack on my Nissan. However, it does not show the name of the song playing when using the line in functionality. I don’t have this issue when using Bluetooth in my car but do you have greater issues with the songs cutting out. This may be a result of the Nissan technology and not anything to do with the device. The line out function works perfectly Great when connected with the stereo or sound system. The android operating system is slow which makes this device less desirable ( and not reliable for me ) when I need to change the music lineup or switch songs on the fly during playback. Overall I think you will be happy with the quality of the sound if you’re using it simply to listen to music on your headphones. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M0XN4KI | | Additional Features | Hi-Res Audio | | Best Sellers Rank | #620,174 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2,595 in MP3 & MP4 Players | | Brand | Onkyo | | Built-In Media | Main MP3 player device only | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Component Type | Memory | | Connectivity Technology | Aux | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (152) | | Display Technology | Capacitive | | Item Weight | 205 Grams | | Manufacturer | ONKYO | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 GB | | Mfr Part Number | DPX1A(B) | | Model Name | DP-X1A | | Model Number | DPX1A(B) | | Screen Size | 4.7 Inches | | Supported Media Type | Micro SD, SDXC | | Supported Standards | MP3 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Onkyo - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** Aux - **Included Components:** Main MP3 player device only - **Media Type:** Micro SD, SDXC - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 16 GB - **Model Name:** DP-X1A - **Screen Size:** 4.7 Inches - **Special Feature:** Hi-Res Audio ## Images ![ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91R-04nruoL.jpg) ![ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MPS+BPyWL.jpg) ![ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71w77PwazkL.jpg) ![ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811znX8cvpL.jpg) ![ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71w5KSAy4cL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is the ui/navigation? is it easy to browse a list of 100+ artists and 1000+ albums quickly?** A: "Quickly" is in the eyes of the beholder. So, let me begin by saying, I'm not familiar with the Android operating system as I have an iPhone and prior to the Onkyo, my experience with media devices was limited to iPods. With that said, the short answer from my perspective is it doesn't seem to be the most intuitive, but "yes", it's relatively easy to browse. Note that I'm not as technologically gifted or nimble as those less age-challenged, i.e., younger than me, but I've been able to figure it out using the instruction manual. For me, using the Onkyo is akin to searching folders on a computer. There's a screen that displays all of the device's storage options (internal, SD card 1, SD card 2, and USB). My high resolution music (DSD 2.8MHZ/64FS, flac 192kHz/24bit; 176kHz/24bit; 96kHz/24bit) is set-up on my computer in folders by artist name, with albums in each folder. So, when I select SD1 on the Onkyo, for example, I'm shown a screen with all folders on that card. I can select the artist and within that folder, the album, and individual song. Or, I can select "Play all" at any point. The other SD card has my iTunes music on it in Apple Lossless format. I use two Sandisk 200gb cards in each card slot, so total usable storage is 420gb. Seems like a lot, but high res format eats it up quickly. 82 albums on one SD card uses 106gb. The other SD card has 3,600 songs by 208 artists in AIFF format that uses 133gb. Scrolling/searching for artists/albums/songs on the latter SD card is obviously a bit more time-consuming than the first, but not a problem for me. Sorry for providing more information than you probably expected, but hope this helps. With that said, I'm happy I went this route. Pair the Onkyo with a set of high-end headphones or earbuds, and you're in personal audio heaven. Enjoy! **Q: What's the diference betwen dp-x1 and dp-x1a?** A: Igor's answer is correct. I went to Onyko USA website. The DP-X1A is not listed under "Products", "Hi-Res Audio" for whatever reason at this time. Only Product listed is the DP-X1 so I called Technical Support and was told the only difference is the internal memory 32 DP-X1 vs 64 DP-X1A. 1-800-229-1687 if you want to check for yourself. **Q: Does the Onkyo dp-x1a come with adaptors for use in the United States?** A: No adaptor included, because it is suitable for any usb adaptor you can find **Q: Onkyo dp-x1a or pioneer xdp 300r? Which is the better choice?** A: I've the Onkyo now, but owned the Pioneer too, which I sold. In my opinion the Onkyo is a better allrouder, it's wonderful with all genres of music. The Pioneer is ideal for rock music, it's punchier, but not ideal for classocal, jazz, pop, etc.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid player with snappy fun interface *by A***R on February 15, 2018* I've been using a FiiO X5 3rd generation since it was released about 2 years ago.

Despite the battery rated at 16 hrs , right out of the box in Jan 2018, with blue tooth and wifi off, I get only 2 hours of life. ## Frequently Bought Together - ONKYO digital audio player DPX1A (B) High Resolution - AGPTEK A02 MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3, 1.8 inch Screen Portable Music Player with Speaker, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Supports Expanded Up to 128GB(Black, 32GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35505049-onkyo-digital-audio-player-dpx1a-b-high-resolution](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35505049-onkyo-digital-audio-player-dpx1a-b-high-resolution) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
