Topping DX5

Topping presents its new DAC and headphone amplifier combo which, while maintaining a small size, offers all the sound quality and power to move the most demanding headphones.

  • Technical: At its heart, the ES9068AS x 2 chip has been tuned for maximum musicality and unprecedented clarity in your music.
  • Design: Beautiful from every angle. It has won the Red Dot Design Award and the Golden Pin Design Award.
  • Performance: All components have been pushed to the maximum to obtain only 0.00002& harmonic distortion and Topping's own NFCA amplification section.

One for all

Its USB audio input allows us to connect the MX5 to both our PC and a smartphone.

Its Bluetooth has LDAC codec for maximum audio resolution while facilitating interconnection with various devices without the need for cables.

Its optical and coaxial input can be connected to multiple devices such as CD and DVD players, TV sets or consoles.

Plug and play. Turn your PC into a Hi-Fi system

The DX5 is compatible with Windows 10, MAC, Linux, iOS and Android so it can be easily connected to both a PC and a smartphone.

It uses the second generation XMOS XU216 with 16 cores supporting up to 32bit/768kHz in PCM plus DSD512 and MQA full decoder.

LDAC 24bit/96kHz transmission

The Topping DX5 is Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC certified. It uses the new QCC5125 chipset that supports the following codecs: LDAC, AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX LL.

To further improve audio quality, the integrated DAC in the QCC5125 is abandoned and the ES9068AS dual chip is used to decode the digital signal.

Integrated NFCA headphone amplifier

This unit features the Topping NFCA amplifier integrated and optimized for this model, obtaining ultra-low noise and distortion. It is fully compatible with both sensitive In Ears and high impedance earphones.

  • 1800mW at 32 Ohm
  • 250mW at 300 Ohm

In addition to this, the device has two gain levels allowing it to adapt to any type of headphones:

  • Low Gain: 0dB
  • High Gain: 12dB

Multiple output modes

To adapt to different usage scenarios, the MX5 has 4 output modes:

  • Headphone amplifier
  • Headphone Amplifier + Line Output
  • DAC
  • Pre-amplifier

Estoy muy contento con este combo de DAC, sonido natural, plano sin ningún realce en ninguna frecuencia, venia de una Sound Blaster Z que es sorprendente lo bien que suena pero empecé a buscar una solución de DAC externo ya que mi Sound Blaster tenia un ruido eléctrico muy molesto imposible de eliminar, antes de este DAC probé el Fiio K5 PRO ESS pero fue una decepción absoluta por su mala salida de linea, cuando probé este DAC noté la diferencia con el anterior de forma inmediata, menos ruido en volúmenes altos, sin distorsión por la salida de linea y algo mas de detalle, el amplificador de auriculares funciona muy bien pero lo mejor es la salida de linea XLR balanceada, estoy usando unos KRK Rokit 5 G4 usando esta conexión y el sonido es realmente bueno sobre todo en Jazz, Blues y música clásica
