X-hybrid headphone amplifier circuit. The DX5 II replaces the NFC module with an original three-stage hybrid amplifier circuit. It uses a discrete input level, an op-amp gain level and a discrete output stage. The result is high efficiency, improved thermal, and precise reproduction at any volume. The maximum output power is 7600mW x2 at 16Ω - more than enough for virtually any headphone.
Versatile adaptation to headphones. The DX5 II is equipped with 6.35 mm single-ended, 4.4 mm symmetry and 4-pin XLR headphone jacks that meet the requirements of low sensitivity headphones to highly sensitive IEMs. With a low noise level of just 1.8uVrms, even the most sensitive IEMs remain free of audible background noise.
LDAC wirelessly available. Equipped with the QCC5125 chip, the DX5 II supports Bluetooth 5.1 and can support up to 96 kHz/24 bit. It also supports LDAC/aptX Adaptive/aptX HD/AAC/SBC and other audio encoding, so that high-quality audio data can be transmitted wirelessly to provide a music experience beyond CD level.
A great upgrade for a proven performer ️ The DX5 II is TOPPING's new fully balanced DAC and headphone amplifier combination. Each channel (left and right) uses an independent new ESS DAC chip - ES9039Q2M. This means lower crosstalk, better imaging and improved technical data: 133dB SNR, 133dB dynamic range and a distortion of only 0.00006%.
10-band PEQ with high precision ️ With the desktop software, you can set 10 independent frequency bands - frequency, gain and Q factor. You can store multiple profiles, apply different EQs to your speakers and headphones, and import and export curves.
