Built-In NFCA Amplification Circuit
Topping DX5 is designed with an NFCA headphone amplification circuitry. In recent times, the NFCA amplification circuitry was implemented in NX7 Portable AMP and the L50 Desktop AMP, both of these are highly-successful products by Topping. With this specially-designed NFCA amplification circuitry, the DX5 provides you with enough juice to drive even demanding headphones with ease. Even at 300Ω high-impedance level, the DX5 provides up to 250mW of clean power.
Full MQA Decoding
Master-Quality Authenticated(MQA) decoding is fully supported on the Topping DX5. It not only supports MQA over the USB Connection but also with Digital Coaxial and Optical Inputs supports full MQA decoding. So be prepared to experience full MQA decoding with the Topping DX5.
Variety Of Connections
Topping has got an expertise in designing desktop HiFi gears. The latest DX5 is a hub with multiple connectivity options. For input, one can use USB, Coaxial, Optical, or even Bluetooth. With the Bluetooth connections, DX5 supports high-resolution signal transmission with LDAC codec support. As for output, we have the 6.35mm single-ended headphone jack and 4-pin XLR balanced headphone jack.
Multiple Operation Modes
One can use the Topping DX5 in different modes based on their usage preferences. It supports DAC-only mode providing line-out to a dedicated amp in your chain, or you can use its headphone amplifier too, or you can simply use both. You can also use it to give line-out at the same time from both RCA and XLR ports. All these modes are easily accessible and can also be switched using the remote control.
Price & Availability
Topping DX5 all-in-one MQA USB DAC/AMP is launched officially for 449$.
