Sampling Rate And Bit Depth

Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?


The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.


Sampling Rate:

Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.


Bit Depth:

Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.
The enhanced Topping DX3 Pro+ surpasses its predecessor, maintaining its impressive construction while significantly elevating its audio performance. This device offers an analytical and detail-rich sound profile that reveals even the subtlest nuances in your music. With robust amplification, the DX3 Pro+ unquestionably stands out as a triumphant choice.

The output power has been supercharged with the DX3 Pro+ offering almost double the power compared to the DX3 Pro LDAC version. The output impedance is 99% lower compared to DX3 Pro and there are some minor cosmetic changes in the LED lighting too. Overall it is safe to say that the DX3 Pro+ has been supercharged with the latest in the audio industry to offer life-like sound.

A great purchase, clarity redefined

I purchased Topping DX3 Pro+ and after listening to it for last few days I can safely say this has been a great purchase. I am using it with Grado 80x, Moondrop aria and desktop speakers too and result is fantastic. This really shines on voice and nuanced music that I could not hear otherwise. I love bass, but with time I am appreciating the sound that get pushed down on overdose of bass. I have same songs with and without DX3 Pro+ and have been pleasantly surprised on how beautiful the songs sounded with DX3 Pro+. I am beginner audiophile and I can clearly hear music much better. Like the construction, ability to connect over Bluetooth, the soundstage. If you are looking for DAC + Amp, you can hardly go wrong with this one.

Also thanks to Headphonezone for bringing this up and other curated items to us. You are awesome!

Bought this in the recent sale. Coming from a iFi Zen DAC v2 and Zen AIR CAN, this might be considered a sidegrade and not an upgrade depending on how one sees it. Some of my review is going to end up being a comparison.

Connectivity wise tested with USB and Bluetooth. Both work without problems. I am using LDAC codec paired to a Linux desktop. My ears cannot hear the difference between USB and Bluetooth, so Bluetooth it is for daily use. I don't care about only having a 3.5 mm jack. I use IEMs and DT770/1990 with this which works just fine. My only nitpick would be that this uses a 15V DC instead of something more standard like 12V. Replacing power adapter if ever required would have been more easier.

Primary motivation for buying this was to try something which is considered to measure well while also being considered neutral. Topping seems to get described as boring, analytical, clinical or lifeless even. Well a lot of people describe Hexa in the same vein, which I love so decided to get this. The other contender was K7 BT but it is more expensive and I don't think I am going to need the amounts of power K7 has or cared about balanced.

Finally coming to sound. Most people describe iFi as warm sounding and Topping as neutral/clinical. If I were to compare them as one would compare headphones, I would say DX3 Pro+ has more treble extension and air. The sound feels crisp and lively to my ears in comparison to Zen DAC. Think the resolution is better on this compared to the Zen DAC. Due to the perceived difference in treble, I think people describe Zen DAC as warm/dark while this as more bright/clinical. DX3 Pro+ reproduces whole spectrum of music as is without coloration as it should be. If it matters, 99% of my music library is extreme metal.

If you want your DAC/AMP to color your music like tubes, look elsewhere. All this being said, it very well might be that I might not be able to tell the difference in a blind test. YMMV.

I hope this lasts long. All in all, definitely happy with the purchase and consider this an upgrade. Definitely recommend. Thanks HPZ for making this available.

Genuinely VFM Product @15k

Good reviews all over.
I generally don't go by non-consumer reviews, most of them are trash, but this product holds its ground for being a excellent dac-amp in small transportable size with more than decent powerful amp.
I tried this with my Focal Celeste & Clear OG, Sennheiser HD660S2, Hifiman Ananda, Theiaudio Monark MK2, Sennheiser ie600, Campfire Andromeda 2020, Audeze LCD1.
Excellent pairing with dynamic driver iems and hps, I can say.
Soundstage is one drawback other than absence of 6.35 output (I don't mind 4.4 output not provided), Bluetooth pairing works fine though I didn't use much.
If I have to summarise it's performance, then imho pairing with HD660S2, Celeste is better than my Burson Playmate 2 costing 3-4 times.

With Topping DX3 Pro + is a missing link between latest digital technolgies + high quality legacy systems.
3.5 mm Out put + BlueTooth is final icing on cake. Can't ask for more.
