I bought the dx5 for my kitchen/ dining room tv feeding a pair of KRK Rokit 7 G4 active monitors.
I thought the Rokits sounded pretty good out of the headphone out of the tv and that surprised me but now with the optically fed dx5 driving them via their balanced in ..
WOW what a difference, they now sound hi end! ..amazing especially given the combined cost of the dx5 and Rokits .
Plus, my (very old) Senn hd 580 Precision cans and oppo pm3s sound superb with it too.
I haven't tried my 32ohm akg k371 cans yet but with the dx5 s 1.8watts of power they should love it..to a point haha.
The new style of the dx5 looks really good and high quality in the flesh.
A great device ,I am Very happy with it.
