TOPPING DX9!

My thing is the AKM implementation. AKM squeezes some magic into their chips.
 
I can only agree with that ! I have had several Topping DAC, the only one so far that pleases me was the D70 with the AKM4470. I have now this DX9 and i am very satisfied with the sound ( at least a decent sounstage !).
So the only Toppings that I 've found good was the ones with AKM chips. I know there are some people on this Forum asserting that all DACs have the same sound, but I coukld not disagree more with this statement

Feel free to film and document yourself doing a double-blind test.

No. I am sure to succeed. And if not, it would mean that double blind tests are not tailored for such subtile audio test. (by the way, some have failed to diferentiate red from white wine in a double blind test...conclusion ? No difference between red and white...:D:D:D:D)
 
How could I check the firmware version of dx9? Thanks a lot
As described on the download page:

The firmware version of your DX9 could be check at the DFU mode: Turn DX9 off by the power switch of rear panel. Then press and keep holding the knob, turn on DX9 by the same power switch, release the knob.
 
Are there any DX5 users that have upgraded to DX9 and could tell us about their opinions about the differences between the two in terms of sound characteristics?

In terms of output power they are very similar.
