If you need a balanced headphone output, the KA3 is the obvious choice. But if you don’t need a balanced circuit, the Topping delivers a cleaner sound with more power and a lower noise floor. Customers are to bear the consequences and fees incurred, if the parcel was undelivered due to any of the following situation: To my ears, the K3 sounds thinner and not as resolving as the DX1. The DX1 outperforms the FiiO in resolution and imaging plus it sounds more confident when using harder-to-drive headphones. Verdict

The DX1’s AK4493S DAC chip provides a smooth and refined sound, and the headphone amplifier has sufficient power to drive a wide range of headphones and pretty much any IEM. Topping has equipped the latest DX1 with the latest generation AKM DAC chipset. It houses the AK4493S DAC chip from AKM’s Velvet Sound technology, it’s a 32-bit DAC upgraded from the classic AK4493. It helps the DX1 to provide crisp high-resolution audio signal decoding. High-Resolution Audio Decoding:-

The RCA line out has a fixed level, so the DX1 can’t be used as a preamp. The DX1 outputs to the RCA and headphone output simultaneously. However, the fixed-level output is useful because it means you don’t need to worry about damaging your headphones or speakers if you forget to set the correct volume level first. Sound

The DX1 features a brand new AKM DAC chip and supports up to 32-bit/384kHz and native DSD256. In addition, the DX1 has 2 headphone outputs (3.5mm and 6.35mm) and dual gain settings. It has an impressive 120dB of dynamic range and an XMOS USB controller.

The 300-Ohm Sennheiser HD6XX headphones are something I would connect to a OTL tube headphone amplifier, for audio enjoyment. With high/low gain options and two outputs (6.35mm and 3.5mm), the DX1 is ready for IEMs, full-size headphones, and everything in between. Despite its small size, it can output up to 280mWx2 @32Ω and 51mWx2 @300Ω of power. Discrete LNRD circuit

Discrete LNRD Circuit:- It may be an entry-level device, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t ready for hi-fi sound. Using an all-new AK4493S DAC chip, the DX1 decodes up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM in a stunning 120dB of dynamic range. Accidents, abuse, misuse, improper installation, problems with electrical power, acts of third parties.I do not see any negatives with replacing the SB-Z card (it's old, so limited driver development)/improvement). Hi Mitch. Balanced signals tend to be more resistant to noise, meaning they will produce clearer sound overall. However, people argue that’s only relevant with much longer (i.e. speaker) cables. Anyway, the DT990 Pro has a fixed single-ended cable so you can’t run it balanced anyway. The DX1 works great with the DT990 Pro.
