Generally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing specifications. The visual here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the DP1x and RX100 V.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The DP1x with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony RX100 V will provide more detail with its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older DP1x will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
