Review: Simply Topping! - I got this little beauty to complement my Sennheiser HD560 headphones. The headphones are pretty good in their own right, but with the addition of this DAC they have entered the stratosphere of sonic delight. One great feature is the low/high gain switch on the back, meaning the Topping will power just about any set of cans. There are also standard RCA connectors, allowing you to use bypass the, most likely, inferior DACs in your blu ray player or laptop. If you're serious about hearing music in true high fidelity, you need a box of Chinese electronic magic, such as the Topping. It really is the tops! Review: Works really well as a DAC and doesn't need external power or amplifier - Excellent little DAC Enough power to not need a seperate amp, volume control and high/low Was plug and play on my windows laptop I have a slightly complicated setup, using an akai mini as a DAW through the laptop using Ableton, however we are a mainly instrument band. So the Akai acts as a keyboard, Ableton lets us select the instrument, then it has to go out to the Tascam 12 channel to be recorded alongside the other instruments This lovely little DAC helps it all link up well Why did you choose this product over others?: Price was good, mind you I could have saved £12 the day later ## Features - ▶ Newest AK4493S - The DX1 uses the newest sub-flagship AK4493S chips of AKM's VELVET Sound technology. - ▶ Plug and Play - DX1 has a wide range of compatibility: Windows 10, Windows 11, MAC, Linux, IOS, Android can be plug and play, don't need to install a driver.

Highly recommended. *by A***3 on 18 February 2025* Brilliant little dac/headphone amp. Drives my Sennheisser HD650 and HD800S with plenty of oomph.Powered by USB input and with lo-hi gain settings and fixed o/p to feed to a preamp. Sound is excellent, full, good bass and nice detail.
