TOPPING DX9 DAC AK4499EQ Headphone Amplifier NFCA Bluetooth 5.1 AptX LDAC 32bit 768kHz DSD512 Black

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Topping unveils a high-performance DAC / Headphone Amplifier: the DX9. In addition to its very high performance, Topping has given it a meticulous aesthetic with an innovative and unique design. The DX9 incorporates top-quality components, including an AKM AK4499EQ DAC chip. This DAC chip delivers performance equivalent to the integration of no less than two AK4499EXs. In fact, it enables the Topping DX9 to achieve a dynamic range of 131dB and a THD+N of less than 0.0007%. An AK4118AEQ chip handles the reception of optical/SPDIF signals, for very low jitter. On the headphone amplifier side, the DX9 incorporates a discrete NFCA amplifier circuit with 6 modules each comprising 39 transistors. The power supply stage is separate for the DAC and headphone amplifier parts, producing a pure, stable power supply. In terms of aesthetics, the curved case and the two screens with Topping's own Aurora UI interface provide the best possible user experience. In addition, a transparent top plate engraved with Topping's 15-year anniversary logo gives a view of the DX9's perfect circuit design.

A high-performance chipset

Topping has integrated the rare and legendary AK4499EQ 4-channel DAC chip into the DX9. This chip alone achieves the performance equivalent of two AK4499EX chips, with a THD+N of less than 0.00007% and a dynamic range of 131dB. It enables the DX9 to support sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and native DSD up to DSD512.
The AK4499EQ DAC chip is coupled to an AK4118AEQ optical/SPDIF signal reception chip for perfect signal reception on coaxial SPDIF, Toslink optical and AES/EBU inputs. Finally, a CPLD works on the clock signal and digital signal optimization to obtain a perfect level of stability and purity.

Bluetooth 5.1 QCC5125 reception chip ( aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptative, LDAC)

The ultra-high-performance Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 chip enables the Topping DX9 to work with high-quality wireless codecs: aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptative and LDAC. Qualcomm's QCC2551 is a 32bit Low Energy chip (Bluetooth LE standard).

Discrete component headphone amplifier circuitry (NFCA)

Topping's DX9 headphone amplifier circuit is based on 6 discrete component modules, each consisting of 6 NFCA channels with 39 transistors. This circuit surpasses all other discrete component headphone amplifier circuits on the market. In fact, each module communicates with its peers for exceptional overall performance. The amplification circuit uses a balanced and unbalanced interface independently, enabling it to greatly reduce noise and distortion. Moreover, this makes it capable of driving all types of headphones on the market with a power of 2x 7000mW @32Ω and a THD+N of less than 0.00009%

Hybrid volume control circuit

The volume control consists of a network of resistors coupled to various relays for an unrivalled degree of precision. It also optimizes SNR and noise levels at low volumes. The relay circuit is used in conjunction with a digital control interface to reduce distortion and protect the DX9 from potential interference.

Sophisticated aesthetics

The DX9's rounded curves give it an outstanding aesthetic. Coupled with two color screens and its Aurora UI interface, the user experience is made exceptional. To top it all off, a transparent plate on the top of the device allows you to observe the DX9's internal circuitry. This plate also features Topping's 15th anniversary lettering.

La musique prend de la vie avec ce DAC
J'ai remplacer mon intégré Cyrus 8 qui ne donne plus de dynamisme , ce préamp Dac redonne la vie à la musique, sur un ampli vintage DENON PMA 501 double transfo. J'ai connecté un lecteur CD mais cela ne fonctionne pas, faut-il un lecteur transport uniquement ? Merci pour votre réponse.

Excellente DAC et ampli casque
Retransmet avec fidélité, espace et texture. Une légère coloration, qui donne vie à divers styles de musique: jazz, classique, métal. Fonctionne très bien avec mon clear Mg de chez Focale. Par rapport à mon ancien zen dac v2 qui ne joais pas du tout dans la même catégorie, la différence est énorme.

transparence redoutable
"très classieux et pourtant très discret" tel pourrait être la synthèse de mes écoutes de cet appareil depuis 2 mois . Je voulais upgrader mon bureau qui fonctionnait avec un DAC iFi Zen signature II accompagné par du matériel vintage (Marantz PM94 + HP triangle ou casque focal Clear MG en asymétrique). le premier sentiment est la clarté du son: le soin apporté à l'amplification du signal y est très certainement pour quelque chose. Ensuite vient la signature du DAC qui est , selon moi, vraiment remarquable. En fait, il est remarquable car... Il disparait et de longues heures d'écoutes ne sont jamais fatigantes. Le son est ciselé et analytique donnant l'impression de se rapprocher du monitoring de studio. le revers de la médaille est qu'il est intransigeant avec Spotify faisant exprimer les limites de la compression. Roon ou Audirvana est absolument nécessaire ou, à minima, Tidal/Qobuz pour tirer profit de cette machine qui est un peu comme une supercar : ca ne pardonne rien au conducteur mais ca offre beaucoup de plaisir. On notera que la capacité d'analyse détaillée est aussi constatée avec plusieurs lecteurs de CD vintage (transport uniquement) où la différence s'est aussi faite sentir très fortement (Luxman et Marantz). au niveau de la tonalité, c'est très plat et aucun registre n'est mis en avant. Pour le casque la différence de transparence est fortement marquée avec la sortie asymétrique par rapport au 6.35 qui est plus "rond". bref, ce DAC disparait pour la musique... à condition d'être très bien accompagné.

enfin un DAC musicale
dès la première écoute le plaisir, on oublie la technique et on ouvre grand les oreilles. Bien sûr j'aurais aimé que le paramètres soit en Français, peut-être à la prochaine mise à jour du firmware…
Audirvãna le reconnais comme décodeur MQA, même si noté nul part.
