Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2x and RX100 IV.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The DP2x because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Sony RX100 IV will offer you more detail having its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older DP2x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
