    Two comments that were quite funny to me I want to address. Anyone that tells you there are no differences between amp dacs has never tried more than one amp dac. 😅
    This is easily demonstrable listening to the differences between a schiit bifrost and a D90se, or comparing the dx9 and aune s9c, which will slap you in the face.
    I haven’t tried other amp dacs aios in this price range to compare this unit to, so I’m not going to say an enthusiast should pick this over something else. But I can share my enjoyment out of my own purchase of the dx9.
    Focus on your budget, don’t get fomo, and try to research what’s best for your budget.

    • @ancientalien815

      I can tell you I've definitely heard differences in pretty much all the gear I've tested. It could be for some people that their headphones or iems really just don't have the resolution to hear the differences clearly or their listening ability is just not great. Also some combos do sound similar while some sound totally different. Biggest difference I've heard is going from the smsl do100 ho100 stack to the burson 3x reference. Night and day difference. Way more resolution, more separation, sharper edges, stronger bass lines, wider sounding stage. There is definitely a reason that people spend big money on audio equipment. Hell I've even heard big differences in cables. Especially the ones connecting your DAC to your amplifier. Go from pure copper to pure silver and you will 100% notice a massive difference.

    Thanks for sharing your experience! Considering this one for my 64 Audio U12t IEMs. I've been having trouble determining if sounds are coming from above or below in games, both with the U12t and Yanyin Canon II. DACs I've used are Moondrop Dawn Pro, Hiby FC6, and Questyle M12i, all of which are dongles at a much lower price point. I've tried a variety of tips, which helped a bit, but not enough. How does the DX9 compare to other DACs you've used in this respect?

    Hi Fresh, I'm new to audiophile stuff, and I'm looking for a balanced 4-pin XLR cable. After a quite long research, I narrowed down my options, the Blue Jeans and the Tripowin. The price of the Blue Jeans is more than double that of the Tripowin. Do you think the difference in sound quality is noticeable between the two? Or do you have a personal recommendation besides these? Your answer is greatly appreciated.

    • @FreshReviewsYT

Like me, I use the goxlr, but I know my MK3 sounds like trash, but I like the use of my goxlr, so how do I incorporate this lovely dac/amp to take advantage of my amazing IEMs. Sorry for such a long question.

      @@FreshReviewsYT dude you are awesome thanks for responding. Much appreciated. Would you suggest the cheaper 529.99 AKM version.
      I'm a/bing the DX3Pro+ and the Fiio K7BT and I don't know if it's an ESS vs AKM thing but ths bass responses between the two are super different. The Fiio is way more huge sounding than the Topping. I don't dislike either but it just caught me off guard. Almost like the Fiio is the sound we are all used to or expecting to hear then the Topping is very reserved but super exacting if that makes sense. Not sure if it's a chip thing or a Topping thing.
      So I guess my question is would the DX9 sound more like the DX3pro+ or more like the K9 AKM since the DX9 has a legendary AKM chip? Sorry to hit you with all this but reddit and YT has been failing me and I trust your insight.

    Hi there, im sorry if this will be a long comment and i hope you will take some of your busy time to answer my questions 🙏🏼
    There’s a couple of questions that i would like to ask regarding the dx9
    1. From what i researched from asr reviews and head-fi there’s a lot of people saying that all topping sounds the same and there’s a comment from joshua valour he says that the dx9 is just a better version of the dx3 pro+ (which i have and enjoyed very much). So is this true or is it just haters that don’t like the price of dx9?
    2. How does it compare to aune s9c pro, xduoo ta-22, ifi neo idsd 2, and fiio k9 pro and can you hear the difference?
    I’m sorry if the question is very long and i thankyou for the review and i had bought moondrop variations from your reviews since you said that it’s good for valorant when the review 1st came out🙏🏼

    Audio is so daunting to me. It's all so expensive, but also very worth. This topping aio is gorgeous, and so is the geshelli labs combo you reviewed not too long ago. Now knowing all have different sounds makes it even harder to pick. Is there anything worth looking at in the low budget category? I've mainly been looking in used equipment that's how poor I am 😅
    I'm used to only onboard audio via phone or my pc, so I know I'm missing out. Life's a bit cruel, so I'm unable to make money right now. Looking to slowly upgrade everything I own in the future though and this is my number one place to go. Your reviews just make sense to me

      @@TheSakuraBirb Well my advice to you is get the best IEMs or HPs you can afford first and don't think too much about dac/amp for now. Amps and DACs become relevant when you get drivers that are sufficiently high enough in technicalities and or when you've figured out what sort of sound signature you like the most (that last part comes from just experiencing stuff, either by attending to event such as Canjams or by visiting your local shops).
      If you still decide to splurge money on amp/dac, with what you've right now i would look into dongles instead. You certainly don't need beefy amps such as seen in this video, it would be a massive overkill, even if you go for entry level topping and such.

      I've only found one solution to this "issue" with a company called violectric. Blacks out the noise on iems like a topping along with controllable gain so you don't blow out the drivers, but can drive high end headphones such as susvara/modhouse tungsten. Would probably have to go with the middle-high end lines though as the entry level may be too warm for gaming.@@FreshReviewsYT
