I'm going to pick up an he400se stealth, a 4 pole headset mic cable for it, and this bad boy once it releases to get my wife into the hobby on a budget, ha! I'm eagerly awaiting this release, looks like the topping store website has a banner right now announcing it should release fairly soon.
I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.

Wait, $87 and it has a display AND PEQ? Wowzers.

If it's even half way competent it's going to be a massive hit.

DX5 II and E50 II are already massive upgrades over their older parts while also costing less, so bet on it

 

[Matias]

It's a modern dongle, features and price, in a desktop form. Just like its predecessor.

I like the optical in and out.

Even it is not yet available for orders in Topping official store in taobao China.
I am very interested in it.

Well that looks like a no brainer indeed. "Gaming" even implies good latency performance? I like

A DX5 II without BT and the fancy LCD, but at 1/4 the price AND optical out AND UAC 1/2 switching?
Shut up and take my money.

Uh, this would be a way to get both optical and USB input on many Wiim products. USB from the PC, optical to the DX1 II from say a CD-player (or TV) and then connect the DX1 II optically to the Wiim. In the process also get a headphone amp which the Wiim Amp (Ultra) lacks.

 

[Redacted]

Killer.

 

[August]

Unbeatable.

I'm not up on Topping in general, that's no secret, but packing so much performance and functionality (even balanced! ) at a 10 cm x 10cm case is really something!

(and now begins the 6 months-long waiting)

Noob question about the 4.4mm pentacon line-out jack at the rear: Does it share the same pinout as the headphone equivalent?

For others to beta-test?

I'll volunteer

That's for all cheap gear, and it goes up with price reaching 2-years for the big stuff!

(I do like blowing up stuff but at my DIY realm, for ready-made ones I prefer solid and safe)

((at the danger of feeding the anti-ASR trolls, I don't want it for music but as a signal generator for non-acoustic measurements, its small size makes it suitable.
I'm searching for something solid and reliable for the last 3 years, to no-avail))
