I have this dac just two weeks ago, and I have to say that I don’t understand all the hype about it.
...
Worst is that the audio from the headphone output is as bad as it can be. I do not believe that it can be worse than this. It reminds me of the headphone outputs from cheap laptops. It is unbelievably bad. It is muddy and boomy with no definition at all.
If that was not enough, it came with a problem. If I switch it off, a minute or so after turns back on again and in the Bluetooth option instead of usb, so I will have to switch it back to usb to use it. If I leave it on and turn my pc off, after some time it turns off and back on again just like I describe earlier so this is a problem with no solution.
...
I want to send it back because it is a faulty unit, and it is not better than my old Behringer dac. But If I must pay to do it, probably does not compensate and its money in the trash can.
So, I do not know if the previous version is way better than this one, but do not go with the flow and don’t waste your money with this.
Just my humble opinion.
I suppose the "hype" - if by that you mean amirm's review here "it easily becomes one of my favorite desktop products. As such, I recommend the Topping DX3Pro wholeheartedly" - is about a non-broken model.
