I actually do not mind MQA if the price is included and not having to charge extra cost for the high price tag. To me, the more feature, the better even less compelling feature at least for the sake of justifying the price tag. Sure, maybe not everybody agrees with me.

I don't think Bob Stuart "created" MQA for organisation to use it for free like everything else in a capitalist economy. There will always be some form of price to pay.

Take K9 Pro for instance so many features with MQA at $800 price point. Amazing but still very expensive though.

You buy it.

Yea but dont think I will.

Expensive compared to what ?

No, I mean the K9 Pro is still expensive. But at least it justify with almost every complete features as AIO.

Absolutely , almost impossible to beat for under 1k.

It seems that simply putting MQA in has resulted in the conversation to focus on it rather then other features and performance. So Topping could learn from it and always release a version 30dollars cheaper without MQA.

Anyone think it can drive Focal Clear?

This seems to be fully balanced, unlike the EX5. That sounds pretty good for this price.

Topping DX5 balanced stereo DAC and (unbalanced) headphone amplifier.

Does anyone know if the Bluetooth can be used to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones? I believe the device have to have output set to Bluetooth in order to use wireless headphones.

I doubt it sound any different from Toping Dx7 pro.

Isn't is true that the DX5 is not actually fully-balanced, and that the XLR is there merely for connection convenience?

This must be so, because all headphone amplifier parameters match, regardless of the connector (XLR or 6.35").

How to tell whether are they fully balanced or not ? Seems like its marketed as fully balanced, yes no ?
