Review: Excellent bit of kit - Extremely pleased with this, using it with an old integrated amp in DAC mode (just 'cause I like to see the sample rate displayed) with Chromecast Audio and also Bluetooth (LDAC codec) via my Pixel 4a for streaming desertcart Unlimited, Deezer, Tidal and Spotify (we have family accounts on Spotify and currently free trials on two of the others). Particularly impressed with Bluetooth. All worked flawlessly so far. Not used for headphones so can't comment on that. Did use in preamp mode initially and volume control worked fine when tested but as I only use for streaming I control volume from phone apps so limited value for me at the moment and as mentioned, I quickly changed unit to DAC mode so that sample rate is always displayed. Great value, great sound, very pleased.
Review: One of best in price range. - So to give brief overview, I needed amp/dac that will be able to run both speakers and headphones. Speakers are active rokit r7. Headphones: HD600 // Fostex Purplehearts. The sound is very neutral with no emphesis on either frequency, maybe there is little bit raised upper bass with low mid range but aside from that I would call it a flat neutral amp. Previously I had opportunity to use o2 DAC/AMP // CL 200 // Topping MX5 for same setup, so I can vouch that both CL200/MX5 were far from neutrality. The MX3+ pro is much closer to o2 as both have pretty identical power and amp behaviour. Power: This amp will not struggle with most headphones, MX5 and CL200 I had to use in high gain mode for my HD600 to get most out of them (MX5 felt like it had little distortion at high volumes although the sound signature change for hd600 was fun). HD600 with DX3+ pro I can use with default settings. Suprisingly o2 amplifier has by far most power out any of these amps at high gain without distortion. So if you have high resistance headphones or hard to drive ones, consider that amp instead even if its old by now! Overall IMO its the best amp/dac in this price range with all things conisdered features/sound/dac.

## Features

- Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC transmission ：DX3Pro+ has the certification of Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC. It uses newest QCC5125 chipset to support LDAC/AAC/SBC/APTX/APTX LL/APTX HD protocol. To get even better sound quality from Bluetooth, we abandon the built-in DAC of QCC5125 and connect its digital signal to ES9038Q2M to decode.
- NFCA circuit ：The new DX3 Pro+ has the NFCA circuit optimized for this unit, giving the ultra low noise and distortion. It pairs with high sensitivity IEMs and power hungry high impedance headphones nicely.
- Pre-amplifier function ：Adapt to different usage scenarios, DX3 Pro+ has 4 output modes: Headphone Amp, Headphone Amp+ Line out, DAC, and Pre amplifier.
- PA3s is the best power amplifier for DX3 Pro+： PA3s has RCA+TRS balanced inputs. When used with DX3 Pro+, the TRS balanced input can be used to input other audio sources. The output power of 80W x 2@4Ω, 10%THD+N, 65W X 2@4Ω, 1%THD+N can be adapted to most situations where speakers are used.
- Bluetooth headphone amp / Bluetooth DAC application： Connect the Bluetooth of the phone, tablet or notebook to DX3 Pro+, and connect the power amplifier, active speakers or headphones to the DX3 Pro+'s output, then DX3 Pro+ becomes your Bluetooth Headphone amp / Bluetooth DAC. If your device supports LDAC transmission, you will get even better experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noticeable clarity improvement over FiiO E10K
*by M***N on 6 December 2023*

I have a pair of DT 770 pro 250ohm headphones and I have been running them off of an FiiO E10K for years. I bought the Topping DX3 Pro+ for some active speaks to connect to my TV, and I thought I'd try out the headphone connection. Switching between the two, the Topping DX3 Pro+ was noticeably clearer than my FiiO E10K. I might have to get another one. *edit* Update from 5 to 4 stars since I ran into a ground loop noise issue which I think this product should handle internally instead of relying on a separate iDefender+ USB device. This issue only occurred for me when connecting the DX3 Pro+ to a desktop AM5 B650m (rear IO ports - it'll be worse on the front IO ports). I ran this from a Lenovo L14 laptop without any issues. Using the ifi iDefender+ does resolve this issue for desktops.
