Topping DX1 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amplifier

Compact, powerful, and plug-and-play ready—the DX1 brings AKM Velvet Sound technology to your desktop without compromise.

The Topping DX1 is an all-in-one desktop DAC and headphone amplifier featuring the sub-flagship AKM AK4493S chip from AKM's Velvet Sound lineup. Powered entirely via USB with no external adapter required, the DX1 delivers up to 280mW x2 of clean headphone power alongside a fixed-level RCA line output—making it equally at home driving IEMs, full-size headphones, or a desktop speaker system. With XMOS XU208 USB controller, native DSD256, PCM384 support, and a Discrete LNRD low-noise circuit, the DX1 punches well above its compact size and price.

Key Features

  • AKM AK4493S Sub-Flagship DAC Chip: An upgraded evolution of the AK4493, the AK4493S delivers improved decoding performance with AKM's renowned Velvet Sound character—natural, musical, and highly resolving.
  • XMOS XU208 USB Controller: Industry-trusted USB controller ensures plug-and-play compatibility with Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Also supports Thesycon custom ASIO driver for maximum source fidelity.
  • USB-Powered, No Adapter Needed: A single USB cable handles both power and data. The Discrete LNRD (Low Noise Reference Driver) circuit filters USB 5V noise to deliver an ultra-clean power supply—DAC noise below 2.0μV, AMP noise below 1.0μV.
  • 280mW x2 Headphone Output: Substantial power for a bus-powered device. Drives a wide range of headphones from sensitive IEMs to demanding full-size cans. Two gain settings expand headphone compatibility further.
  • Dual Headphone Jacks: Both 6.35mm (1/4") and 3.5mm (1/8") outputs on the front panel for maximum flexibility—no adapter required.
  • Fixed RCA Line Output: Connect directly to a power amplifier or active speakers. Note: line out volume is fixed at maximum; the headphone amp and line out operate simultaneously.
  • Ultra-Compact Aluminum Chassis: Measuring just 100 × 98 × 32mm, the DX1 fits anywhere on your desk while the solid aluminum body provides excellent shielding and heat dissipation.
  • High-Resolution Audio Support: Native DSD256 (11.2896MHz) and PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit decoding—far beyond CD quality, fully compatible with hi-res streaming and local libraries.

⚠️ Note: The DX1 does not use an NFCA module. Line out volume is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Headphone amp and line out output simultaneously.
