Topping DX3 Pro+ ES9038Q2M Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC Audio Decoder DSD512 DAC AMP NFCA Headphone Amplifier Pre Amplifier (Black)

For $200, it's really hard to beat this DAC. I like to listen to music at work, but the PC audio of my work computer is awful. I had a portable DAC+AMP, but it finally bit the dust. I rolled the dice on this, and I'm incredibly surprised. First of all, this was pretty much plug-and-play. Set up just involved plugging in the USB and power, and turning it on. In my experience, most USB DAC setups in Windows can be finnicky to say the least- more so true the cheaper the device. Even though it was playing fine out-of-the-box, I did install the drivers from the website afterwards and then upgraded the firmware, and again it was hassle-free. The sound is very good, if not a little uninteresting. It's clear, clean, and very neutral. Which is certainly fine, but so unremarkable it's hard to comment about it. But hey, that's a pass in my books. It does support very high PCM and DSD bitrates, which for the price is phenomenal. The amp is serviceable. I doubt anyone who's considering a $200 desktop amp has a pair of Sennheiser HE1s, so for its target audience, it's certainly powerful enough to drive a decent pair of headphones. With that said, anything with more impedance than a set of mid-range cans, and I would have my doubts. I did try the bluetooth capability on my Pixel 6 Pro. The sound was very very clear and clean- there were no hiss or static coming through, and the stream was at a high quality bitrate with LDAC enabled. There was of course a bit of lag, but it wasn't atypical of most BT playback. The display is easy to see. The wheel is stiff and clicky, so there's little chance of bumping into the knob and rupturing your eardrums. It's reasonably small, enough to fit most desk spaces. Generally, the build quality seems to be really good considering the cost. Wherever they cut the corners, it wasn't on the case. There are a few very minor annoyances. The power supply is very short, and since it's a 15v power supply, it's a somewhat odd voltage to replace. I also wish that there were more buttons, so that I don't have to rely on the clicker as much. Overall, it's a fantastic buy- especially for an audiophile that's a beginner, someone on a budget, or just looking for a DAC+AMP that punches well above its weight class.

I've purchased a few items from Topping though Amazon, also recommended to friends. I'm a very experienced audio enthusiast, also been involved with sales of some of the best audio gear in the world. I'm continually astonished how Topping can produce such high quality products that perform so well at very affordable prices. The manufacturers of kilo-buck bling products continually denigrate many Chinese manufacturers as being poorly made as well as producing sub-par sound quality, which isn't true, at least in the case of Topping. Disassembling this unit shows high quality surface mount components with what appears to be the same standard of assembly that the bling boys use. You didn't think that those laser etched faceplates and jewel like appearance was free, now, did you?

Excellent sound. Configured with a Win 11, MusicBee running WASAPI exclusive asynchronous. Tried with the Topping driver to use ASIO, but MusicBee does not see it. Sees my JDS Atom just fine. This is the third CI-FI DAC that I could not get ASIO working on. Only reason to move up-line is if you need balanced outputs. This has reached the performance level where nothing else is audible. It's a keeper.

Top Tier Product! Thank you for the DX3 Pro+. I use this as a DAC to not have to use the on board audio on my gaming PC. The audio quality and performance of this has been nothing but stellar. I have been on the fence for a couple years trying to decide if i want a DAC let alone if I would even enjoy the quality... all I can say is why the F didn't I do this a long time ago.

Purchased a new DX3 Pro +, product was clearly used before missing the little rubber caps on the rear, was also missing the USB adapter which makes it completely unusable since I do not have the specific USB cable required to hook it up to my PC I understand this model is supposed to come with a remote which it did not have either.

Topping DX3 Pro+ sounded good and was perfect for my PC setup. I connected it to JBL LSR 300 and some headphones and really liked the sound from headphones. I could not hear any difference between the onboard DAC and dx3pro+ with my speakers. Despite that the convenience of switching between speakers and headphones with a click of remote was good. The amplifier section really made my headphones shines, I have some Hifiman which really liked the amp. The sound was clean and clear. Unfortunately, it died within a year. It started playing some noise now from both, speakers and headphones. I tried multiple PCs and multiple headphones with same result. As it does come with warranty, I reached out to the seller, "Schenzen audio" and they promptly connected me to someone in China. They asked me to ship it to China (A big shout out to them for taking care of shipping charges both ways as that is expensive). I shipped it, they fixed it, and it came back with same exact problem. So even though it comes with warranty, and they were nice to cover shipping cost (which was almost 70 bucks with tracking with USPS), their tech could not fix it. So I am guessing it did not go to Topping but to seller. At this point I just write it off as a bad purchase.

ChatGPT told me to buy this along with some Sennheiser headphones. Great purchase, as the combination came close to the experience with my old Stax electrostatic unit that I gave away to one of my kids. What I enjoy is the great clarity and separation between different voices/instruments. The experience is night and day different from a straight-through connection from PC/Mac to headphones.

I dont have much of a perspective in any other DAC but what I know is that this works great. The bluetooth is receive and not transmit, so if you connect your phone you'll hear phone audio through your wired headphones. In the year or so I've had it I have no reason to get anything else.

Har en Topping DAC sedan tidigare (DS50s) som jag är helnöjd med och när jag nu behövde en DAC/Hörlursförstärkare så var det naturligt att jag först kollade upp Topping igen. Efter att ha undersökt tillgängligt utbud i rimliga prisklasser och läst ett otal recensioner blev det en Topping DX3 Pro+. Ännu en gång helnöjd med mitt köp.

Benutzt wird das Ganze mit einem Focal Elegia. Der DX3 Pro+ ist wahrscheinlich der bester Verstärker was Preis/Leistung angeht!! Die Messwerte sind überragend und übersteigen bekannte High End Marken die mehrere tausend Euros kosten. Der DX3 Pro+ ist ein super Gerät in Verbindung mit dem Elegia. Die beiden harmonieren echt gut. Ich denke mittlerweile das das Audio High End Geschäft ein wenig religiöse Züge angenommen hat oder schon lange hat. Am Ende muss einem einfach der Sound gefallen, den man selbst hört. Egal was jemand schreibt, wie gut oder schlecht ein Gerät sein soll. Der Kleine hier ist auf dem Blatt besser als ein Chord Dave, welcher über 10.000€ kostet! Wie sich das im Sound äußert, kann ich nicht sagen. Wenn ich aber 10k dafür bezahle, bin ich davon überzeugt, dass der besser klingt ;) Ich bezweifle aber, das, der 50-mal besser klingt. Ich glaube auch das über 90% der Leute das im Leben nicht hören können. Dann kommt dazu, dass man ständig Sound anders wahrnimmt. Je nach Laune, Tageszeit usw. Kurzum: Das Ding hier ist, finde ich, der Hammer!

Extremely pleased with this, using it with an old integrated amp in DAC mode (just 'cause I like to see the sample rate displayed) with Chromecast Audio and also Bluetooth (LDAC codec) via my Pixel 4a for streaming Amazon Unlimited, Deezer, Tidal and Spotify (we have family accounts on Spotify and currently free trials on two of the others). Particularly impressed with Bluetooth. All worked flawlessly so far. Not used for headphones so can't comment on that. Did use in preamp mode initially and volume control worked fine when tested but as I only use for streaming I control volume from phone apps so limited value for me at the moment and as mentioned, I quickly changed unit to DAC mode so that sample rate is always displayed. Great value, great sound, very pleased.

Ten wzmacniacz mnie mega zaskoczył. Jakość dźwięku w stosunku do ceny jest powalający. Zastanawiałem się nad zakupem Fiio K7 ale ostatecznie Topping dla mnie gra ciut lepiej. Utwory z płyty Max Cooper - 3D rewarks 001 brzmią rewelacyjnie.

جدا ممتاز مقابل السعر والمواصفات صوت نقي جدا انصح الجميع به
