Sampling Rate And Bit Depth
Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?
The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.
Sampling Rate:
Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.
Bit Depth:
Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.

DESCRIPTION
TOPPING PRESENTS THE ALL-NEW AND HIGHLY DEPENDABLE DAC & AMP - THE DX1
TOPPING is a well-established brand in the HiFi audio industry. The brand is mainly known for its wide range of desktop audio gears like DACs, AMPs, and all-in-One DAC & Amp devices. TOPPING has released their all-new Desktop DAC & Amp, the TOPPING DX1. It delivers Hi-Res audio with PCM, DSD (Native), and DSD (DoP) decoding capabilities. It also has sufficient power output to drive your headphones and in-ear monitors.


FEATURES AK4493S DAC CHIP FUSED WITH XMOS XU208 FOR HI-RES DIGITAL AUDIO DECODING
TOPPING has trusted the newest generation of AKM DAC chips for the latest DX1. They have a new AK4493S DAC chip from AKM Technologies that replaces the original AK4493. It’s a 32-Bit DAC that benefits from AKM’s Velvet Sound Technology, delivering a silky smooth sound experience. This premium DAC chip is supported by XMOS XU208, a high-performance 8-core USB receiver that enables high-resolution audio. It is capable of decoding 16bit-32-Bit/44.1kHz-384kHz PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), Native DSD64-DSD256 (Direct Stream Digital), and DoP (DSD Over PCM) DSD64-DSD128 signals via USB connection.



TURN YOUR DEVICES INTO HI-FI SOURCES WITHOUT ANY HASSLE
TOPPING has designed the DX1 to be widely compatible with your sources. The best part is that you don’t need any additional power adapter for the DX1. It takes power input directly from the connected source device. DX1 has a wide range of compatibility: Windows 10, 11, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android can be plugged in and played. Only for Windows ASIO applications; there is a need for driver installation and set-up. The USB hardware is based on XMOS XU208 and Thesycon custom driver (applicable to Windows, other systems are free of driver), which is stable and reliable.


DISCRETE LNRD CIRCUIT FOR A JITTER-FREE AUDIO EXPERIENCE
The DAC & Amps circuit's components do produce a minimal amount of noise. To reduce the noise introduced by the USB Power, TOPPING has designed a Discrete LNRD "circuit" (Low Noise Reference Driver). The Discrete LNRD circuit filters out the noise and interference of USB 5V power and provides a stable and clean power supply of ultra-low noise reference level for DX1. With this technology, the noise of the DAC part is lower than 2.0uV, and the noise of the AMP part is <1.0uV. Even high-sensitive IEMs will not be bothered by noise. To make the DX1 even more versatile, DX1 has been designed to work effortlessly without requiring an additional power adapter. Only one USB cable can complete the power supply and data transmission.



SMALL IN SIZE WITH MASSIVE POWER AND TWO-LEVEL GAIN SETTINGS
Don’t get fooled by the compact size and form factor of the DX1. This compact DAC & Amp houses boatloads of power to drive most of your IEMs and even some headphones. With a professionally designed headphone amp architecture, the DX1 has 6.35mm and 3.5mm single-ended outputs with a power output rating of up to 280mW @32Ω of impedance load. TOPPING DX1 offers two gain settings, greatly expanding the range of headphone adaptation. With these gain settings, you can power your in-ear monitors and headphones with aplomb.
