On my dx3 v2 (non +), i sometimes lose sound on Windows after having listened to foobar in asio mode. It seems there is a bug in exclusivity releasing or somethingā¦ I then have to reboot the topping (unplug and replug) for it to work again .
Iām not sure where the default comes from (foobar, drivers, the unit,ā¦)
And here I thought my biggest problem would be having to hit the output selection button.
Iāll have to test this bug once I figure out ASIO. I love that the Topping drivers let you set the buffer size (for ASIO) along with having a good default buffer size.
Yeah, it is more of a DAC that happens to include a Headphone AMP.
The Knob on the plus is a little better than previous models, but the back and forth of the volume control can still drop a number. I am sure a lot of work went into matching the ādigitalā knob tic to the digital volume change, but I agree, smoothness on knobs is just better: give me a knob with some heft and resistance that I can spin without making my nerves feel funny. I didnāt really consider much about the user experience and feel for the DX3 Pro. I was after value for specs.
ASR measured the max power output on high gain at 32 Ohm is 1.5 W for the plus, which is 500 mW more than the V1.
Yeah I know: the numbers of the topping are way higher than the zen dac. But what I remember is that the knob was at 12 oāclock for my he400i. On the dx3 pro itās at a level that would correspond to 16 oāclock.
