This warranty extends only to personal use & does not extend to any product that has been used for commercial use, rental use, or use that is not intended. There are no warranties other than expressly set forth herein. Do you have a better usb dac suggestion other than DX1? (preferably same price range but I can go to 150 Euro if it worth it).use not following the ‘User Guide’ or any additional safety, use, or warnings included in the product materials. Topping has equipped the latest DX1 with the latest generation AKM DAC chipset. It houses the AK4493S DAC chip from AKM’s Velvet Sound technology, it’s a 32-bit DAC upgraded from the classic AK4493. It helps the DX1 to provide crisp high-resolution audio signal decoding. High-Resolution Audio Decoding:- But the DX1 doesn’t just excel in noise reduction – it also delivers impressive output power, reaching 280mW x2 @32Ω from the headphone amplifier. This is more than enough for all in-ear monitors and a wide range of headphones. If you need a balanced headphone output, the KA3 is the obvious choice. But if you don’t need a balanced circuit, the Topping delivers a cleaner sound with more power and a lower noise floor.

To my ears, the K3 sounds thinner and not as resolving as the DX1. The DX1 outperforms the FiiO in resolution and imaging plus it sounds more confident when using harder-to-drive headphones. Verdict But let’s be real here, what really made this song a banger was the way the percussion bounced from left to right like a game of ping pong. And don’t even get me started on the DX1 – sure it’s cheap, but it’s still a top-notch DAC. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it outperforms those dinky dongle DACs any day of the week. It’s more practical than dongles for desktop use and just can’t be beaten when it comes to power and audio quality. Trust me on this one. Accidents, abuse, misuse, improper installation, problems with electrical power, acts of third parties.I do not see any negatives with replacing the SB-Z card (it's old, so limited driver development)/improvement). I plan to completely disable my PC sound card (win 11) and get Topping DX1 and use an EQ software like (Peace equalizer, or any other, I am open to suggestions), will this work effectively? any downside for this approach? Damage due to user negligence, accidents, disassembly, waterlog, misuse, abuse, alterations or vandalism. If it is plastic sealed when you get it, it should remain plastic sealed. Some types of goods such as CIEMs and custom cables cannot be returned. Topping DX1 is widely compatible with a range of desktop devices. It doesn’t require any additional power adapter and works directly off your sources like Windows/Ma/Linux and even Android devices. Discrete LNRD Circuit:-
