Desktop DAC amplifier with Bluetooth 5.0

The Topping DX3 Pro+ combines an ES9038Q2M DAC with an NFCA headphone amplifier and a QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver in a single desktop unit. It accepts USB audio up to PCM 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD512 native via a second-generation XMOS XU208 interface. Wired and wireless sources are decoded with a measured THD+N of 0.00015 %.

Audiophiles wanting one box for wired

This suits listeners who want a compact decoder and headphone amplifier that also streams LDAC-quality Bluetooth from a phone or computer. Buyers who need balanced headphone outputs, a dedicated line-level preamp section with relay switching, or a battery-powered portable form factor should look elsewhere.

Drives 32 ohm loads to 1800 mW per channel

At 32 ohms the amplifier delivers 1800 mW per channel with 0.00015 % THD+N at 1500 mW, giving ample headroom for sensitive and moderately demanding headphones. Into 300 ohms output falls to 250 mW per channel, so very high-impedance models will reach lower maximum volumes.

Questions about this item

What source device and cable are needed to use the USB input on the DX3 Pro+?

Connect a computer or streamer with a USB-A or USB-C port using a standard USB data cable; the XMOS XU208 handles up to PCM 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD512 native.

Can I keep using my 300-ohm headphones with the DX3 Pro+?

Yes — the NFCA amplifier delivers 250 mW per channel into 300 ohms, so high-impedance models work without an extra amp.

How do I confirm the DX3 Pro+ is decoding LDAC over Bluetooth 5.0?

Pair a phone or player that supports LDAC, play a high-resolution track, and check the device screen or app — it shows the active codec and sample rate.
