Setting The New Industry Standard
Ring Radiator transducerThe transducer leverages the main benefit of a large diaphragm transducer, which is air displacement without losing the rigidity that favourably impacts rest and response times. Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit. The voice coil excites the diaphragm, connected to the v-shaped groove found near the center of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard.
complete stabilityEvery transducer is manufactured, tested, and measured to the highest tolerance to ensure the most dependable performance out of the box. The steel mesh found in the baffle is also matched and integrated with consistency as a priority, as it adds to the ultra-low variance in the management of travelling sound waves. Each HD 800 S includes the frequency response plot unique to those perfectly matched transducers, sparing no resource to help you hear the most vital nuances from every section of your music collection.
Mesmerizing Soundstage
perfectly matched transducer systemsA result of several key features, the drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you hear a vivid blend of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients.
When combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most impressive soundstage yet. This orientation rivals or exceeds loudspeaker setups costing exponentially more, especially when room acoustics are factored in. The HD 800 S gives you a personal concert hall on-demand, without disturbing the neighbours.
Advanced Sound Reproduction System
Incredible ExtensionGaining acoustics that are true to the source also requires management of compounding frequency clusters that produce undesirable masking effects. Sennheiser integrated a patented frequency absorber, which is a principle similar to that found in the breakthrough IE 800S, to reduce resonances that hide extraordinary musical details in plain sight.
The transducer system is also mounted in a vibration damping chassis using aerospace-grade materials. Together with the previously mentioned headband, the problematic energy peaks of lower frequencies are managed to display the purity your hi-fi setup is capable of.
An Ergonomic Treat
Ultra ComfortEvery contact point utilizes ultra-soft microfiber padding, while purpose-made composites reduce weight and unwanted pressure. Each earcup offers dual-axis articulation, as soon as you put them on the HD 800 S will instantly and seamlessly conform to your unique structure. The result is an incredible listening session that never stands in the way of your passion for hi-fidelity sound reproduction.
Topping - DX5 II Fully Balanced DAC and Headphone Amp Combo (Black)
The Ultimate Listening Experience!The Topping DX5 II is a fully balanced DAC and headphone amplifier, fusing cutting-edge digital conversion with a powerful, versatile amplifier stage. This was designed as the successor to the original DX5, offering a range of upgrades while keeping the same compact, sleek, look that we know and love from Topping gear. At the heart of the DX5 II you'll find a pair of ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips, one for each channel. This dual-DAC design provides outstanding transparency, ultra-low distortion, and a wide dynamic range, so that both headphones and speaker setups benefit from clean and detailed playback.

Premium Components
Dual ES9039Q2MBoth left and right channels utilize and independent ESS new DAC chip (ES9039Q2M). This design delivers higher SNR, greater DNR, and lower distortion compared to the DX5, offering high-resolution audio performance.
X-Hybrid CircuitX-Hybrid represents a new technological breakthrough following NFCA architecture. Using an all-new triple-stage hybrid amplification design, this doesn't just retain the signature ultra-low distortion and high dynamic rage of the NFCA, but also achieves significantly improved efficiency by optimizing circuit topology - resulting in reduced staatic power consumption and heat generation. Despite its compact chassis, it houses a fully balanced, quad-channel amplifier.
wide adaption to headphonesDX5 II is equipped with 6.35mm single-ended, 4.4mm balanced, and 4-pin XLR headphone jack, meeting the needs from low to high sensitivity headphones and IEMs. With a low noise floor of just 1.8uVrms, even the most sensitive IEMMS are free of any background hiss. Delivering a powerful 7600mW x 2 output, DX5 II enables most headphones to reach thier full performance potential.
Sleek Topping Design
User-friendlyThe DX5 II features a 2" full colour screen and 3 buttons, allowing you to make quick and efficient adjustments to your settings. Choose from 9 different backround colours, FFT, VU or playback info display can also be switched with ease. The pressable knob supports customizable functions, allowing access to any output mode. Switch usage preferences in the settings as you wish. Bilingual switching between Chinese and English is also supported.
10-Band High-Precision PEQ Adjustment
fine-tuned frequenciesA brand new PEQ adjustmen supports ten customizable frequency band. This new PEW algorithm and desktop software allows you to fine-tune the frequency, gain and bandwith of each PEQ band. The software supports the import of target curves and raw curves and enables the curve compensation using the target curve. It can also save multiple profiles for easy switching. All outputs support independent PEQ configuration, and both headphones and speakers can be accurately adjusted as you wish.
Advanced Performance Features
LDAC wireless availableEquipped with a QCC5125 chip, the DX5 II supports Bluetooth 5.1 and can support up to 96kHz/24bit. It also fully supports LDAC/aptX-Adaptive/aptX/aptX HD/AAC/SBC and other audio encodings, allowing high-quality audio to be transmitted wirelessly to provide a musical experience beyond CD level.
Plug and playDX5 II features a wide range of compatibility and applies to various operatng systems such as Windows 10, Windows 11, MAC, Linux and iOS/Android. The USB hardware is based on third generation XMOS XU316 and Thesycon driver which is both stable and reliable. In addition, the USB input supports up to PCM768kHz/32bit and DSD512, which makes every detail vivid.
Self-developed IV CircuitryTopping's self-developed I/V conversion module is dedicated to achieving superior audio reproduction. The exceptional circuit design delivers lower distortion and noise while occupying less space. Pushing the boundaries of physical limits, this design extracts the maximum performance from the DAC chip.
Connect DirectlyDX5 II also features a "preamp" mode. In preamp mode, you can adjust the output volume of DX5 II, then connect it directly to a pure amplifier or active speaker without the need for a separate preamplifier. Both input and output interfaces of the DX5 II come with a volume memory functionality, enabling the device to automatically restore the last set volume when switching outputs - allowing a for a quick return to your familiar listening environment.
