Topping DX3 Pro + Bluetooth 5.0 Headphone Amplifier LDAC Audio Decoder DSD512 DAC Low Noise Amplifier for Home and Computer Black

This little DAC and amplifier sounds fantastic, even for £400 I'd be happy with the performance but at £150 it's fantastic value. It's as good as anything I've heard at much higher prices, up to £400 or more.I bought it to use at work, connected to my MacBook pro by USB. I've got several headphones to use when working and this device drove them all exceptionally well, even my Sennheiser HD650. Music sounds very neutral, nothing is pushed forward, the bass is reasonably warm and deep and the whole feel is reasonably relaxed. For example, some Joni Mitchell songs can make cheap equipment sound a little bit shrill or coarse, but this Topping DX3 pro+ works really well, even the song My Old Man is rendered well. The song He Needs Me by Nina Simone has beautifully soft and rich vocals which come through so well, really lovely to listen to. I found myself pausing work to listen to Star 6 & 7 8 9 by The Orb, the birdsong and gentle synth punctuated by the very deep bass made me smile.This is a great little amp, I'm very pleased with it and would highly recommend it at just £149.

This topping DX3 _pro is great value for money and drives my AKG headphones with ease. The sound stage and detail are fantastic. I stream from tidal into the headphone amp from a node 2i.

Streaming via toslink is great quality sound. Cd via coaxial is amazing.

Pairs easily with my LG TV using optical in and with my Windows PCs over USB.Excellent output - easily drives my headphones and speakers.It’s ability to received Bluetooth is a huge plus.

In a glaring oversight, the power adapter supplied is incompatible with UK and Irish sockets, catering solely to EU standards. This lack of attention to detail, especially for a product in this price range, speaks volumes about the company's disregard for customer satisfaction.The included cables, particularly the USB, are disappointingly short at a mere 1.2 meters and of subpar quality. This inadequacy necessitates the purchase of additional cables for most setups, adding unexpected costs and inconvenience.After several days of use, a persistent and fluctuating hum emanates from the left speaker, even during silence. This issue, echoed in numerous user reviews, renders the device unsuitable for professional audio work or individuals sensitive to extraneous noise, such as those with tinnitus.Alarmingly, the unit's performance deteriorated rapidly after just weeks of use, particularly when paired with more demanding headphones like the Sennheiser HD 660S2. The Topping amplifier struggles to meet these requirements, producing crackling interference and eventually distorting the sound entirely. While restarting temporarily alleviates the issue, it's a clear indication of the product's abysmal quality.Further testing revealed that the device's shortcomings extend beyond USB connectivity, with optical cable connections also proving problematic. Frequent sound skipping occurs regardless of the audio source, suggesting a fundamental flaw in the DAC's design. A cursory internet search confirms that this particular model is widely regarded as a regrettable investment, consistently disappointing users across various setups and use cases.

Spent some time reading lots of reviews (Headfi etc) before buying this product. Glad I did as it performs exceptionally well

Bought to pair with ps5 via USB. Had audible pops that cannot be fixed with settings. Apart from that was a good sounding amp

This product did ship with a UK (type G) plug.Very happy with the product.
