Product Description
New from Topping, an industry leader in professional-grade audio equipment, the DX3 Pro LDAC Version 2 DAC/amp is a next-generation audio solution for your desk. Equipped with much of the same hardware that made the original DX3 Pro so popular—an XMOS XU208 USB chip with dual AK4493 DACs, an OPA1612 op amp, and an AK4118 receiver—this version adds LDAC connectivity for high-resolution listening over Bluetooth 5.0 Read More
As everyone knows, I wrote the review too late. Now that there is a follow-up Dx3 Pro+, I don't recommend this product. But pro + is a strong recommendation.
In my overall experience, it was a decent headphone amplifier.
I'm using a high-end amplifier and DAC right now, so I won't use it again.
If you want to spend some more money, I recommend you look for the E70v/L70/PA7+ of the topping.
The sound is the best for its price range. However, the rigidity of the socket is not good. A gentle press on the plug broke the socket and the the left channel died.
I like my DX3 Pro, audio quality is good and it would be a perfect 5 stars if I didn't have these two annoying issues:
1st: the USB connection is very sensitive and sometimes small movements are enough to make it act as if it had disconnected & reconnected to my PC, this means audio goes out & I have to reselect it on Voicemeeter (software)
2nd: If there's a way to unpair all Bluetooth devices, I couldn't find it (the manual is not very good) . I keep my antenna off because otherwise I think a neighbor connects to it automatically and it turns itself on from standby (if you can completely turn it off, couldn't find that either).
This Amp/DAC is fantastic. I use the DX3 Pro with both IEMs and my headphones. I never thought I would use Bluetooth but it actually has come in handy often when I want to use my IEMs without any white noise but I want to watch something on my phone. IEM performance is much better on a dedicated amp or DAC compared to motherboard audio. It is not the only reason to get this device though and the DX3 in addition to its many features and great IEM performance is also has great headphone performance. I mostly notice benefits from the DAC side because my current X2s are so efficient but when I get sundaras or HD6XXs I will notice more of a difference. One of my favorite things about the device is just how easy it is to use and plug something in and the screen is really nice to have. Overall it is a fantastic device and although I don't use everything it has to offer at the moment I am glad that I now have a device that will take what I throw at it in the future.
This is my very first step into the audiophile community. Have to say the build is solid and the audio quality is super nice and crisp.
Also, the display is nice with nice feedback when you click on the nub
Highly recommended overall for a beginner's piece.
Compared to an objective dac, it is slightly better overall with power delivery and consistency.
I love it. Some key notes, is the Speakers and Headphones cannot split audio, meaning two different outputs. The remote is triple A's and vital to use, if you lose it, you are sc-re-wed.
I love the brightness settings, and the numerical output of the front.
smartedpandaIt can actually output to both Headphone output and the RCA output. On the remote, press the middle navigational button. Both "DAC" and the headphone icon will light up on the display.
Using it connected to a desktop via usb, with headphones and RCA outs connected to computer speakers.
No noise and plenty of power. Love the rotary volume control. One annoying downside--when it wakes from sleep, it is set to bluetooth, it can't remember and retain the last input.
The unit size is small, but the sound is not. I was really surprised to head incredible sound from the unit.
My hd58x and this amp produced clean and powerful sound.
Before the purchase, I read a review on audio science review site and dx3 pro was one of top headphone dac/amp.
Later I upgrade to dx7 pro, but the sound quality difference was not as big as the price difference.
The remote is handy when it is used with TV and active speakers.
