What does "ships within 24/48 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24/48 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24/48 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.


What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24/48 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

For an accurate timeline, you can enter your pin code on the product page and check for an estimated date of arrival.

For Audiophiles at Home

I’ve always loved the ritual of coming home, settling into my favourite chair, and firing up a dedicated setup. Gear labelled For Audiophiles at Home is made for those moments — when you can really sit back and appreciate music in its purest form 🛋️. These products tend to be more powerful, larger, and often require wall power — perfect for a stationary rig.


Here’s the trade-off: these setups often involve external DACs, amps, or full-size headphones, which means more space, more power, but also more immersive listening. They shine when used in quiet environments, where detail, depth, and dynamics can truly be appreciated.


When you see '🏠 For Audiophiles at Home' products, expect: exceptional fidelity, stronger output, and the kind of soundstage that makes you never want to leave your listening chair.

Connect With Cable

In my experience, there’s still nothing like the dependability of a wired connection when it comes to audio 🎧. I love describing it as the direct flight of music — no delays, no turbulence. When a product says “Connect with Cable,” it means you’re getting the most reliable signal path, with zero wireless compression and minimal interference.


Here’s what’s actually happening: a physical cable transmits uncompressed analog or digital signals directly from your source to your gear. This results in lower latency, no signal drops, and consistently better sound — especially when paired with a good DAC or amp. It’s ideal for critical listening, gaming, and professional use. The trade-off? You’re tethered — but for a lot of audiophiles, that’s a small price to pay for sonic purity.


When you see '🔗 Connect With Cable' products, expect: pure, uninterrupted sound quality that lets your gear perform at its full potential — perfect for focused, high-fidelity listening.

Why it Sounds Amazing

DAC Chip

I like to say the DAC chip is the heart of any audio device — it’s the part that actually transforms digital files into music you can hear 🎧. Think of it like a chef decoding a recipe to create a delicious meal. The better the DAC chip, the more faithfully it translates your music. And in my experience, a great DAC can completely change how your headphones sound.


Now, here’s what’s actually happening: a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) takes digital signals (your MP3s, FLACs, or streams) and converts them into an analog waveform your ears can enjoy. Different DAC chips — like those from ESS, AKM, or Cirrus Logic — offer their own sound signatures, levels of clarity, and noise performance. A good DAC ensures accurate timing, minimal distortion, and exceptional resolution.


When you see '⚙️ DAC Chip' products, expect: clean, detailed audio and better synergy with high-quality headphones — perfect for anyone upgrading from average sound to audiophile quality.

Power Output

I like to think of power output in audio gear like engine horsepower, it determines how much muscle your setup really has 💪. Whether you’re trying to drive a pair of power-hungry planar headphones or just want headroom for dynamic peaks, power output is the spec you want to check first.


Technically, it refers to the amount of electrical power (measured in mW or Watts) an amp or DAC/Amp combo can deliver to your headphones. More power means better control, improved dynamics, and the ability to handle demanding gear without distortion. But more isn’t always better, too much power with sensitive IEMs can introduce hiss or harshness.


When you see '🚀 Power Output' products, expect: strong driving capability, better dynamics, and optimal performance with headphones that need serious juice to shine.


Decodes Upto

When I see "Decodes up to" listed in product specs, I think of it like a music translator that speaks more languages than you’ll ever need. It tells you how far a DAC or audio device can go in handling hi-res formats—think PCM, DSD, or MQA—and at what resolution. 🧠🎶


Technically, this refers to the maximum bit depth and sample rate a DAC can process—like 32-bit/768kHz PCM or DSD512. The higher these numbers, the more detailed and lifelike the audio can potentially sound. But remember, real-world improvements depend on the recording quality and your headphones, not just specs alone.

Discrete LNRD Circuit For A Jitter-Free Audio Experience

The DAC & Amps circuit's components do produce a minimal amount of noise. To reduce the noise introduced by the USB Power, TOPPING has designed a Discrete LNRD "circuit" (Low Noise Reference Driver). The Discrete LNRD circuit filters out the noise and interference of USB 5V power and provides a stable and clean power supply of ultra-low noise reference level for DX1. With this technology, the noise of the DAC part is lower than 2.0uV, and the noise of the AMP part is <1.0uV. Even high-sensitive IEMs will not be bothered by noise. To make the DX1 even more versatile, DX1 has been designed to work effortlessly without requiring an additional power adapter. Only one USB cable can complete the power supply and data transmission.  

Small In Size With Massive Power And Two-Level Gain Settings

Don’t get fooled by the compact size and form factor of the DX1. This compact DAC & Amp houses boatloads of power to drive most of your IEMs and even some headphones. With a professionally designed headphone amp architecture, the DX1 has 6.35mm and 3.5mm single-ended outputs with a power output rating of up to 280mW @32Ω of impedance load. TOPPING DX1 offers two gain settings, greatly expanding the range of headphone adaptation. With these gain settings, you can power your in-ear monitors and headphones with aplomb.

Topping DX1

I purchased the Topping DX1 specifically to use with my AKG K702, which needed some extra power due to its low sensitivity. It matched perfectly with the K702, providing sufficient power in high gain mode and, more importantly, a non-fatiguing tonal quality.

All my other headphones are less power-hungry, including the ATH M50x, AKG K271 MKII, AKG K361, and Sony MDR7506. The listening experience improved significantly—more than I expected—with all these headphones when paired with the DX1 compared to connecting directly to the source device.

Thank you, Headphone Zone, for making these superior audio products available in our country at a reasonable rate.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing the Topping DX1 for your AKG K702.

Excellence within budget

Been loving it so far. Quality of song listening has definitely improved without any equaliser, in fact I uninstalled the equaliser the moment I felt difference in music listening experience with just the dac. Can't wait to test it with my Sennheiser hd569 which is on the way. It's my very first set up and I am already happy with the performance.
I Definitely recommended this Dac and Amp for beginners like me.
And thank you headphonezone for facilitating a prompt delivery.

Excellent Quality & Sound

Very Good Sound Quality with RCA & both 3.5mm & 6.5mm. The sound quality is very crisp with detailing in it. The music when listening on the headphone is very soft & soothing to the ears. One can listen for hours.

Hey there, Thank you so much for the positive review! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving the product.

Topping DX1

Wire with gain, that is what this usb dac is.Drives both HD 600 and HD 650 to very loud levels. I use it in high gain, volume knob at 9 0 " clock position, beyond 11 it's unberably loud. What ever sound you hear from earphones/headphones , it's the sound signature of the connected earphones/headphones.HD 650 sounds like HD650 with smooth highs and warm midrange. HD 600 sounds flat , a bit boring.
I did try using with mobile phone, it works fine but drains the battery very quickly, strictly for laptop/ desktop use only.
Thanks to Headphone zone for allowing me to sell few of my pre owned products that helped me to purchase DX1.

Thanks for your review of the Topping DX1 USB DAC! We're glad to hear that it delivers on its promise of delivering a powerful and clear sound quality.
