A Decent All In One

DX5 is a great ALL IN ONE, having a Balanced DAC, SE AMP, Pre Amp and a BT Receiver.

The DAC section is great, you get the familiar ESS sound, with tons of micro details, great sound stage, at the expense of having the typical and infamous ESS glare, but many folks like that, its a subjective aspect of this implementation which i personally find appealing.

The AMP section on the other hand is what leaves me wanting, not exactly in terms of power but in terms of the overall synergy of it with the ESS DAC, i was hoping for a slightly warm AMP but instead the AMP is clean leaning a bit on the brighter side of the spectrum.

This means that you need to think about the kind of headphones or earphones you pair with the DX5, it will do very well with the darker sounding Sennheisers, but worse with bright sounding Beyers.

The device driver installation is quite straightforward and Bluetooth pairing is hassle free. The interface can get some time getting used to but it works well enough. Addition of a remote which can control 90% of the settings and options is a very underappreciated feature in any DAC/AMP.

Overall a great device for anyone looking to save some desk space and using active monitors with their system, For the AMP i would say, save up a bit and get something better depending on what kind of headphones or earphones you have. This also means that the VFM quotient of this All In One is a variable quantity, its high on features but lacking in the AMP section, so based on whether those features are useful to you or not the VFM quotient will vary.

Lastly the marketing material doesn't make it obvious that this is a SE AMP, the DAC is balanced but the AMP is not, the 4 Pin XLR and 1/4 Jack run at the same level. The XLR Outs on the rear are the DAC's balanced out which can be used to feed the DAC output to any balanced amp or to a powered monitor pair.

Hi there, we are so happy you took out time and elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better and informed decision.
