DAC, preamp, headphone amp
Like its predecessor, the DX5 II is a hi-fi component that can function as a standalone DAC, preamplifier and headphone amplifier. However, this new model promises enhanced audio quality and greater versatility.
Topping gave the DX5 II upgraded DACs — it now features dual ESS Technology ES9039Q2M DAC chips — and the latest Hyperstream IV architecture, which the brand claims allows it deliver an “enhanced high-resolution audio experience” compared to the original DX5.
The DX5 II can be connected to a wide variety of devices, not just a desktop or laptop, thanks to its USB, coaxial and optical inputs. And they can handle PCM files up to 32-bit/768kHz.
