Quite often, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing specs. The visual below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the DP2s and RX1R.
All in all, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The DP2s due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX1R will show greater detail due to its extra 19 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older DP2s will be behind in sensor innovation.
