The Topping DX3 Pro+ is a desktop DAC and headphone amp that pairs an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC with an NFCA amp stage rated 1800mW x 2 into 32Ω from a 3.5mm jack, and adds LDAC Bluetooth 5.0, USB, optical and two coaxial inputs. It suits a desk or bedside system that switches between a computer, a phone and a TV or CD player.
Who the Topping DX3 Pro+ is for
Phone streaming: A QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver takes LDAC, aptX HD, aptX LL, aptX, AAC and SBC, and the ES9038Q2M does the decoding instead of the Bluetooth chip.
Computer playback: XMOS XU208 USB handles PCM up to 768kHz/32-bit and native DSD512; macOS needs no driver and Windows uses a Thesycon ASIO driver.
Several digital sources: One optical and two coaxial inputs connect a TV, game console or CD transport alongside USB and Bluetooth.
IEMs to full-size headphones: Two gain settings (+6dB and +19dB) and <0.1Ω output impedance cover sensitive IEMs, with 250mW x 2 into 300Ω for harder loads.
Speaker systems: The RCA line out runs in fixed DAC mode or as a volume-controlled preamp, and the included remote handles volume and inputs.
Skip it if: You use 6.35mm-plug or balanced headphones without an adapter: the only headphone jack is a 3.5mm single-ended output, and the unit runs from an external 15V adapter.
