If you read my statement a few posts above that is exactly what I said. V2 headphone out sucks.
I should have clarified I have the V1, use HD650's...haven't used them with iem's... For normal headphones it shouldn't make a difference.

Oh, it's definitely acceptable. I just wouldn't recommend it as it has that flaw. I recently upgraded my 58x to LCD2Cs and they would even be impacted having 70ohms impedance. To me a device that only works well in some of the cases, is not worth recommending. You're just throwing people a curve ball especially newbies coming here for advice.I only heard V1 which sounded good, would be sad for V2 to be that bad. I hope it is still acceptable with >= 80ohm headphones..
V1 kicks ass with IEMs , I am sure. 1 ohm of output impedance is insane.I should have clarified I have the V1, use HD650's...haven't used them with iem's... For normal headphones it shouldn't make a difference.
LCD2c being planars have flat impedance throughout frequency range. High output impedance doesn't matter with those.Oh, it's definitely acceptable. I just wouldn't recommend it as it has that flaw.

Ah ok. Which headphones does it matter on?LCD2c being planars have flat impedance throughout frequency range. High output impedance doesn't matter with those.
Non planars. Like all dynamic headphones and earphones.Ah ok. Which headphones does it matter on?
I can recommend piece written by solderdude, available here.Ah ok. Which headphones does it matter on?
TL;DR, thanks tho...I can recommend piece written by solderdude, available here.

I have V2 and use 16ohm T2 iem to compare V2 and NX4DSD, both sound the same. Don't understand what's the fuss about. Maybe if it's maximum volume then can hear difference, but I'll be deaf so no thank you.Another thing. I don't understand why people has so bad opinions on V2. As far as I know only output impedance is worse (around 10ohms). So if you really have low impedance headphones it may not be for you. On the other hand if you plan to buy some more expensive headphones M500 makes sense. Buying $400 dac/Amp just for one $200 headphones is an overkill imo.
I just bought a "new" used one off of Ebay. It looks like it might be a first version, but serial # starts with a 1903. It appears the USB IN isn't working. I've got the DX3Pro driver installed in Windows 10, but Windows can't start the driver (I keep getting an error code 10 even after a full computer restart).
Then for starters uninstall it because you don't need any driver for dx3 pro on windows 10. This is plug and play device. If it doesn't work as plug and play and your windows 10 version is relatively new then either something is wrong with your pc, or usb is broken on your unit. If it happens on multiple devices running up to date version of windows 10 then it's 100% broken.I've got the DX3Pro driver installed in Windows 10, but Windows can't start the driver
I think the latest version of DX3 Pro firmware is Ver1.04. Unfortunately, it has now been removed from HP.Guys, can someone please point me to the ''upgrade tool'' to check my firmware version and possibly upgrade to the latest one? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thank you very much for the info and for providing the firmware.I think the latest version of DX3 Pro firmware is Ver1.04. Unfortunately, it has now been removed from HP.
The latest DX3 Pro LDAC version firmware has not been updated yet.
I uploaded some previously downloaded and installed files. Even if you request it directly by Topping, it will probably send you.

How to check the current firmware (for foober2000)Thank you very much for the info and for providing the firmware.
However, I don't have the upgrade tool and can't even check on what firmware it currently is.
I have the first non-LDAC version.
How to check the current firmware (for foober2000)
Go to File> Preferences> Playback> Output> ASIO> ASIO driver and double-click Topping USB Audio Device.
The Topping USB Audio Device Control Panel opens and click the Info tab.
Revision shows the firmware version.
Firmware update procedure

The update tool is provided in DX3 Pro FW1.04 (18L) .zip I uploaded.
First, download DX3 Pro FW1.04 (18L) .zip and double-click the folder to decompress it.
The update procedure is described in the readme.txt file.
To execute the update Click the ToppingUsbAudioDfu_V4.47.exe update tool.
Then select DX3 Pro_dfu_V104_18L.bin for the bin file and execute it.
