Yeah the plug selection is new. I emailed them and they said if you ordered prior to them adding that, you would just get the plug of your address country.

That’s great to hear that Topping will release a mobile app to make adjustments. Much more convenient than plugging in a laptop and going through the Topping Tune software.
And for me, they're at least making an iOS version of the app. As it stands right now, I have to run Topping Tune through a Windows 11 VM.

I can't imagine them cancelling orders over an accidental 15% discount. I was able to get mine for $245 using the $10 coupon they had as well. Hopefully it ships.I wonder what will happen to my order then
Same here with $10 coupon the price was really hard to beat. I asked them about my package, shenzhenaudio responded that dac will be shipped in July as it is stated on the listing.
Same here... $244. No date on shipment but they already charged my MasterCard so that's good.

Okay, when you mentioned a quantization bug I was a bit worried but if it's still hitting 113 dB SINAD, only slightly above the physical limit of audibility if I understand that ~115 dB is that limit, I'm not concerned.
Unrelated, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for an app, IMO, though I'd love it if Topping would come up with a web browser solution. If Fiio can figure it out...
There's no mention of a double click option in the DX5 II manual. My EX5 cycles through inputs on a single click and outputs on a double click. The DX5 II has a dedicated input select button, so I guess there is no need to overload the volume control which defaults to output select...
The DX5 (non II version) has a somewhat unknown feature that lets you cycle between headphones out and XLR/RCA out. It's really great for people who have a desktop setup with speakers and headphones. Needing to use the remote to switch outputs or manually via the menu is annoying, so it'd be great if someone can test this.
Did you not read my post? The OG DX5 shares output switching on volume double click functionality with the EX5. But the DX5 II has a dedicated input button, so output switching is now the default behaviour of the volume single click.
On the DX5 II, you can remove unused inputs and outputs from the rotation for both input and output selection. Which is a nice piece of additional functionality (Occasionally, I land on the RCA only output on my EX5 and become discombobulated at the lack of sound emanating from my monitors)
I don't think you should look at it this way. The quantization error will only happen in low frequencies when you have PEQ activated with a gain. You can see in Amir's review that when PEQ is enabled but no band is used, the result is transparent.
In his review the low frequency noise level deteriorated 9db (from 122 to 113db) when he only activated one low frequency band with gain of 5db. In real use cases, if you have many EQ bands in the low frequencies, and considerable amount of gains (such as 5-10db), you may have considerable amount of noise that is audible.
Has there been any confirmation from Amir that he has a unit to review?
