Generally, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and A7R.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7R will give more detail due to its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
