TOPPING DX5 II DAC/Amp

Awesome unit.

The DX5ii is an incredible value for what you get. Sounds fantastic and is loaded with functionality. Love it even though my unit didn’t include a remote control.

One of the best value DAC/amps on the market

Between the design, features, power, and overall sound of this unit, it's one of the best value buys you can get your hands on. It's simple, sleek and looks great with its full-color LCD display, and its menus are straightforward and easy to navigate. It has basically every feature you could ever need, especially with the addition of the new crossfeed feature included in the latest V2. 07 firmware update. It has an abundance of power at its disposal to drive even the most demanding planar headphones, and its sound out of the box is neutral, clean, detailed and accurate — excellent for honest reference-level audio, which are reflected in its exceptional measurements. The ability to completely tailor the PEQ to preference just further adds to this unit's versatility and puts it in a league of its own at this price point. Pair it with a couple of active speakers as a DAC and preamp, and you have a single self-contained box to handle your entire audio setup. For anyone looking for the ultimate $300 all-in-one DAC, headphone amp and preamp, this is it. Grab it! You will not regret your purchase!

Great sounding Dac/Headphone amp.

I bought this to use with my Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. If these are entry level products, I am definitely curious about what more expensive products sound like! I'm truly amazed at the sound quality! I listen daily and could not be more happy! I understand that the HD 650's are harder to drive (300 ohms). The DX5ii really opens them up! If your price point is 300 bucks then this is it! The only thing I didn't like was the only input options you have is: bluetooth, optical, or coaxial. The rca's balanced jacks are output only. But that wasn't a deal breaker for me! You will love the sound! Cheers!
