Up for sale is my TOPPING DX5 II Headphone Amp / DAC in WHITE. It works perfectly, sounds fantastic and has had very little use in my system. It's in excellent condition without even a fingerprint on it and I've conservatively rated it a 9 and I cannot see any blems on it as I take stellar care of my HiFi gear.Check out all the hi-res photos to verify its condition.It includes the original box, packing, remote, accessories and power cord. Nothing is missing from new and I've updated it to the latest firmware.It has been displayed in a non-smoking, incense free, child free, pet free and cologne and perfume free home. However, the previous owner was VERY heavy handed with some cheap mens cologne and the inside of the box and its ancillaries (as they are porous foam and paper) have taken on this odor.THE UNIT ITSELF AND THE REMOTE, THOUGH, DO NOT HAVE THIS SMELL AND ARE FREE OF ANY GREASY FINGERPRINTS OR ANY OTHER FUNK! For safety, I will securely wrap the unit and remote in cling film prior to boxing and shipping :)Read my stellar feedback and purchase with complete confidence. It is listed elsewhere and subject to prior sale so do not hesitate as I expect it to sell quickly and I ship fast!Shipping cost is a modest $20. Note that I will most likely ship it USPS Ground Advantage.
Is US$239 the right price for a used Topping DX5 DAC when comps are hovering lower? At that asking price with unknown condition, it's ambitious—our recent listings peg the median at US$179, with a tight range from US$179 (25th percentile) to US$209 (75th). Fair market value typically lands below US$210 for clean examples, so unless this one's pristine or bundled with extras, negotiate down or walk unless the seller proves superior spec.
Before biting, verify the DAC's age and firmware version—early DX5 units had occasional USB stability glitches fixed in later updates. Confirm the remote, power supply, and original box are included, as replacements aren't cheap, and test all inputs/outputs for noise or dropout issues common in heavily used portables.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
