I had a pretty decent sound system before with the audio interface my high end motherboard offered, but as I'm sure you know, in order to get the most out of higher end headphones with stricter ohm impedance and thus higher requirements to properly drive, you need to get an amp no matter what. Since my finances were somewhat limited at the time, I needed a budget option for an amp and a DAC. I'd already tried and returned so many models, but this one stands out as the holy grail somehow. I've already recommended it to a few friends, who all stand by the quality of this system. ==THE GOOD== The Topping DX1 is a beautiful, little device that is USB-powered, and supports both 6. 35mm and 3.5mm headphone output; I have tested both and they are of equal performance. The quality of the case looks professional, the system does not overheat, and the volume adjustment knob moves satisfyingly smooth. The AK4493S is a pretty good sound chip at the price range, and I can't complain. This is just a solid device all around that works as advertised, and downloading the drivers is a must. ==THE BAD== (!! Please read updated segment first !!) If you are using this DAC + Amp combo on a Windows platform, not only will you have to configure the device to disable the Windows "sound enhancement" and properly configure the audio frequency and fidelity, but you will need to accept the fact that some applications just do not register this device. The most common culprits are not the ones you'd expect. For example, in gaming, Fortnite does not recognize this device and will not play audio through it, while Marvel Rivals detects it just fine. For audio listening, Winamp, Audacity, and WACUP do not register this device, while Spotify and YouTube pick up the device just fine. I'm sure a simple driver update by Topping would fix this issue, and I sincerely hope they are willing to read this review, but until then, it is my one complaint. There is no reason why this device shouldn't work on every application, especially the ones specifically designed with music listening in mind. Would I recommend it? Yes, as long as you are willing to switch back and forth whenever you find an application that doesn't recognize it... a bit cumbersome. After Topping fixes the driver issue, this will be an amazing device. ==== Update (2025.05.25) Recently, a friend informed me about how to solve my issues. As it turns out, some applications (INCLUDING WinAmp) are finicky and either only support up to 24 bit depth (This device is 32 bit depth), or only transmit audio up to 192khz (Device is 384khz). This isn't Topping's fault, and just requires a simple change in your settings to adjust for the appropriate applications. I have now used this amp + DAC combo to drive three different open back headphones with varying ohm impedance, and it's been pretty stellar. For an entry level device, this is about as good as it gets, but you will obviously need something more powerful if your reference headphones are rated near or above 250 ohms. Updating my score to 5 stars to reflect this. Review: Entry Level Gem - This is my first foray into audiophile word. As a beginner, this product works wonderfully. I'm pairing it with my HD600s. At frirst I was a little concerned about the max volume, as they don't get quite as loud as my previous gaming headphones, but I'm finding the absolute clarity means I'm never maxing them out, anyway. Low gain is fine for some very casual listening, but I do have to keep them on high if audio is a focus on what I'm doing. That said, I haven't experienced any distortion or hissing even cranked to max, and it only ever gets warm to to touch. The design is minimalistic, sleek, and feels premium. Has a nice little weight to it. At this price point, I don't think there's better. Lemon for scale ## Features - 👍 Newest 32bit-AK4493S DAC chip ▶️ The DX1 uses the newest sub-flagship AK4493S chips of AKM's VELVET Sound technology. The DX1 decodes up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM in a stunning 120dB of dynamic range. - 👍 Powerful Output for IEMs and Full-size headphones ▶️ With high/low gain options and two outputs (6.35mm and 3.5mm), the DX1 is ready for IEMs, full-size headphones, and everything in between.

( Except Windows ASIO applications) - 👍 Discrete LNRD ▶️ The Discrete LNRD circuit filters out the noise and interference of USB 5V power and provides stable and clean power supply of ultra-low noise reference level for DX1. With this technology, the noise of the DAC part is lower than 2.0uV, and the noise of the AMP part is lower than 1.0uV. Even high sensitive IEMs will not be bothered by noise. - 👍 Pure DAC Function▶️ DX1 has Line out with fixed volume, which can be used as a pure DAC with headphone amplifiers, power amplifiers and other devices.👉👉👉Note, please consider the following information before deciding to add to cart. 1.
