the standard D40 already has SOTA performance, this has no obvious differences in aesthetics or inputs.
What would be the pro?

 

[Rednaxela]

But I want DSP.

No new King without Zadok.

Truly balanced or are the 4.4 and xlr only there for convenience?

And DSD will work only if the DAC Is in fixed mode or will it result in noise when using the headphone amp?

"amp use Ti6120a2 chip, but 429$ only!"

TI's TPA6120A2 is $1.5 approximately in not so big volumes (1000+):

(But it's a nice chip, yes, with a very high slew rate and a flat distortion curve versus frequency)

we can expect d40p better performance than sabaj a20d, cz they are from the same brand smsl.

 

[metasharp]

I wonder if it's better or equivalent to my stack : SMSL SU-9 PRO + TOPPING A90 Discrete.
A single device of 400€ vs 2 devices at 1200€... i would be sad in a way but happy that the world improves to make it more available to the mass.

someone in china just receive it， cost about 350USD

 

[audiofun]

wow this is truly the endgame. much cheaper than topping's dx7pro+ but has much higher headphone amplifier performance.

He said it has no auditable difference compared to dx7pp when driving HD600 with xlr cable, but the screen‘s readability is poor.

 

[flywood]

digital volume control the same as dx7pp

of course. hd600 is super easy to drive. you won't notice the difference between dx7pp vs dx3pp anyway.

okay, he tried r70x with single-end cable, didnt notice any difference as well
btw, d40pro eats the first 0.5second audio when using waspi driver while dx7pp doesn't.

Conclusion:
Pros: good dac, high power amplifier, remote control, budget price
Cons: poor display

 

[Rednaxela]

And rather cheap looking overall.
