That's funny, I've been doing a lot of research on this one but there just haven't been many youtube videos on this model, actually pulled the trigger on it last night and now this video pops up.

[HiFiGOAudio]

It's price to performance ratio is unbelievable. A small correction: QCC 5125 is the BT chip. The dac it uses is the ES9038q2m.

I'm using Sundara with DX3P+ and it's awesome. It's my first hi-fi setup and it's been awesome 😊

[aGrimTurtle]

Plan to pair this with a Sundara. Currently using Senn HD598, no amp. Gonna get this amp first, see how I like it with my current headphones (I have no reference, never used a headphone amp) then gonna get the Sundaras soon after. Thanks for the reviews, Josh!

Watching this Video while unpacking my DX3 Pro+, Beyer MMX 300 & DT 900 Pro x. Joshua thanks for everything you taught us !

I have been on the fence for a couple of years over whether to buy a dac/amp combo for my computer. This review helped me make up my mind. I purchased the Topping DX3. What a difference it makes! It's unreal. Thank you Josh for being down to earth. Love the channel, keep it up.

[lolin]

Love the suggestion, I love when you make videos like this because it gives you the ability to try a little of every approach on enjoying music listening. Hope you make more of the budget videos too. Thanks for your honesty and all your work in sharing videos like this

I am using the Topping DX3 Pro+ with a Hifiman Edition XS - and for ~$650 I think it‘s absolutely awesome!!

[ryoshamo]

Also to note the headphone output impedance on this unit has improved from 10 ohms to 0.1 ohms, so IEM's and other low impedance headphones will sound as intended. I may have to upgrade my old unit.

[Deeper-Trends]

The Dac in DX3 Pro+ is the ES9038Q2M from ESS. The QCC5125 is the bluetooth SoC.

[davidnuanez]

Built a system with this and the Sundara's, coming from a fiio e10k and both the senn 6xx and 560s's. So now i'm feeling really comfortable with all of my options with this dac/amp combo.

Hello Joshua, thank you very much for the review! Just last month I order this combo (dx3+ hd560s) after alot of search and you as one of the most trusted YouTubers give me alot of confidence in my choice. Thank you again and wish you to keep doing great reviews!

[Allaces]

Nice review Josh.. Half way into the vid I was sold..I paused and went straight to purchase the Topping DX3 pro+. It was on my shortlist but this solidified it for me.. Thanks bro..👍

[soupistasty]

What a killer combo the DX3 Pro+ and the new Sennheiser IE600s would make, for anyone who loves a nice comfy yet audiophile grade set of earbuds! (Sure the IE900s would be super killer - but I feel like if you're spending close to $2K on earbuds, likely you're also going to be using something like the Topping A90/D70S or the Matrix Mini I Pro)

[PeteLewton]

Great review. I picked up the dx3 dac and running through Anandas now. Sounds wonderful!

[FunFiEmpire]

Isn't it always satisfying to get a volume control that let's you know it's turning? As always, great review and you express your excitement for value so very well. Topping is a great brand and frequently has great value, though with such volume of choices, it is so very helpful when trustworthy and knowledgeable reviewers such as yourself let us know of the best options to choose from.

[sudipchatterjee]

What a timing! I was just scouring the internet for a review of this and this video popped in my notification! Thanks, Josh! I’m going to order this before it gets out of stock. I was impressed, too, by this, but needed validation. Now I’ve got one, and a strong one at that.

[chromadrakon]

Killed my magni months ago with wrong ac cable so this was a perfect upgrade and can be set to output as a dac amped or non adjustable volume. I use the pro+ amp for most things and when I feel like somthing different I to dac only with the littledot mk2.

[ikoboy]

Happy this came out. I was an early adapter to the dx3pro+ as my combo setup for the Hd560s, sundara, 6xx, variations, nth 100 and now arriving xs. There were a few posts about them and some word of mouth but not much reviews. Always great to see validation.

Have had a DX3 Pro on my desk since launch, no problems, clean source for my JBL 305s and drives my various headphones well. Used to have a second one that served as a pre for my NAD power amp and the thing was BLACK in terms of noise floor it was insane. All you need.
