Did you try the DX3pro+ in high gain mode? I found that it adds that body and grunt to a noticeable degree...

[Raymondey]

This was the DX3 Pro+ review I was looking for! Very detailed sound quality comparison to DX5. Thanks!

One aspect of your videos that I like are your product comparisons & value for money suggestions. This is helpful, especially for people on a budget or with different priorities.

[dungysphincter]

Ty ! for this comparison / review. Always worth checking out your videos. YOU ROCK!

[tycheesey]

I bought the DX5 based on your reviews. Thanks for all you do! I also bought the A30 Pro with your blessing!

[Allaces]

I have the DX3 pro+ and I believe you described it perfectly.. Great review.

[johnsoriano]

This is great! Thank you for this review

Thanks for the heads up about Mike Dawes. Listened on iPhone as I walked home, and now via a Wilsenton R8 into Klipsh RP-600M. But still via either a Google Chromecast or a Arilic S10. Still trying to decide what path to take for better streaming. Keep up the excellent reviews.

You have a pleasant voice! Great review!

[edverbeek]

The sport anology is great. I understand immediately what you point at.

Purchased DX5 and I love it.
I am fan of some heavy music but also the Nordic mood. God... That goosebumps.

Thank you for this VERY detailed review. Keep going !

[Wheelly]

Thanks man. We can only understand something in comparison with something different. Great job!

Your descriptive explanations of how the Music sounds really paints a very clear picture.
Can i ask what would you recommend as an alternative that has that fuller sound you were describing but also has the LDAC Bluetooth, Headphone amp and line outs to for Powered Speakers(preferably balanced speaker outs realise this might be asking too much)
You mention the DX5 but at over double the price so anything around the DX3 range?

Another down to earth, honest review my friend. Video quality has improved too ! Could your next Topping review be the LA90 power amp, I wonder ?

[farenheit]

I just got this DAC to pair with my Dunu Vulcan IEMs. I use them for gaming on my Pc. Mainly first person shooters and I gotta say it works pretty darn good. It drives my IEMs with no problems. I didn’t think the bass was too “punchy” for me compared to other IEMs/headphones I’ve listened to where you just feel the bass in your chest. Overall I’m satisfied with the purchase. Sounds wayyyy better than just using my pc outputs lol. Thanks for the reviews!

This is another fine review Srboljub. You explain the differences between models so well. I did wonder where you were going with the heavy-weight boxer analogy, but you managed to explain your way out of the corner 😀 that you were retreating to very well indeed. I think that the analogy was quite understandable anyway, and you did well to keep it in your final edit. “Horses for courses” the expression says, and you described well for which genre each DAC/Amp could be chosen to stay the course economically. It seems that lovers of acoustic instruments and vocals need to choose the Topping DX5 from this group to satisfy completely their musical tastes. For its size and cost, the Shanling UA5 ranks creditably high near the Topping DX5 for its clarity, if not it’s punch (reference to boxing again 🥊 😀). I think that I would like both! The DX3 Pro+ has it’s place too, and represents good value. Thank you for another excellent video and review 👍🙂
