The Topping DX5 II is a fully balanced desktop DAC and headphone amp with dual ES9039Q2M chips, an X-Hybrid amp rated 6400mW x 2 into 32Ω balanced, 6.35mm, 4.4mm and 4-pin XLR jacks, and LDAC Bluetooth 5.1. It suits listeners who want one box to drive headphones and powered speakers, with 10-band PEQ for both.
Who the Topping DX5 II is for
Power-hungry headphones: The balanced outputs deliver 6400mW x 2 into 32Ω, 990mW x 2 into 300Ω and 490mW x 2 into 600Ω, with low and high gain.
Mixed headphone collections: A 6.35mm single-ended jack sits next to 4.4mm and 4-pin XLR balanced jacks, all with <0.1Ω output impedance.
Desktop speakers: XLR and RCA line outputs run in preamp mode with volume control or in fixed DAC mode, and 12V trigger in and out syncs power with other gear.
Tuning by ear or measurement: A 10-band PEQ edited in Topping Tune keeps five built-in presets and five custom profiles on the unit, plus convolution or simple crossfeed.
Wireless and digital sources: A QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 receiver takes LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, AAC and SBC, next to USB (XMOS XU316), optical and coaxial inputs.
Skip it if: You plan to use balanced-to-3.5mm or balanced-to-6.35mm adapters, which Topping says not to use, or want a USB-powered box: it runs on AC mains and weighs 945g.
