I find transients to be quite fast, which is especially appreciable with fast headphones like the aforementioned HE-560 or the Edition XS.

Overall it is safe to say that the DX3 Pro+ has been supercharged with the latest in the audio industry to offer life-like sound.There’s a remarkably low noise floor and there’s no hiss nor buzz, despite other devices on my desk having it – which appears to be proof of a good job done by SMSL in managing the power. Versatile enough to serve multiple purposes and fit easily into many setups, this duo delivers the performance we’ve come to expect from Topping in terms of build, design, and sound quality. As this technology and the advantages it has, is super popular for the moment, I am sure we will see many more 1-Bit and R2R dongles in the near future. After several more hours of listening via the Topping DX3 Pro, I went back to the Topping D50 to check on several things.

It sounds really good with all ears and headphones I have used it with, and I am very much looking forward to trying out many more in the future. So if anyone else is experiencing the same jitter or stutter issue with the optical audio input, try updating to firmware v1. On the back panel are (from left to right): Left and Right RCA outputs, dual coaxial inputs, optical input, USB input, Bluetooth antenna mount and DC15V power socket.If you start with lower volume up the chain then you need to turn up your amp more to compensate and that introduces more noise (the bad kind).

However, some ASIO functionality requires the installation of the customized Thesycon ASIO driver for Windows. In addition, a short press on the button cycles through the input modes and a long press powers the unit On or Off. If you’re in the market for an excellent transportable solution that drives any headphones under the sun, you have to give the WA11 serious consideration. This surprised me quite a bit so I listened to the same 'bass test' tracks using the D50 and I could hear the very low bass through my headphones.Sound quality is superb, build quality is very good, I/O is excellent and the conception design makes it the perfect companion for every source you may own, even game consoles like the… PS5 (wink, wink). This function will provide great convenience when connected to a power amplifier or monitor speakers.
