Description
DX-3
The Rotel DX-3 is a stylish headphone amplifier and DAC designed for personal audio. With support for Bluetooth, USB, and legacy inputs, it delivers powerful, detailed sound whether you’re using headphones or powered speakers.
DX-3 is perhaps the ultimate personal audio companion, packaged in exquisite industrial design with the sophistication of a premium, fully balanced headphone amplifier.
The ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC renders music via PC-USB input (32-bit / 384 kHz), Coaxial/Optical (24-bit / 192 kHz), aptX™ HD Wireless Bluetooth and legacy audio equipment via an AUX RCA input.
Downstream from the DAC, the analogue output filters are implemented externally using discrete components custom engineered by Rotel to deliver exceptional musical accuracy.
Connect your balanced or single ended headphones to the DX 3, or drive a pair of active, powered loudspeakers directly, rendering music up to 32 bit/384 kHz via PC USB, 24 bit/192 kHz through Coaxial/Optical, aptX™ HD wireless Bluetooth, or any legacy audio equipment through the AUX RCA input.
Its fully balanced circuit topology is driven by an in house manufactured toroidal transformer with ultra low noise isolation and high grade filter capacitors. The full colour graphic display, extruded aluminium remote control, and intuitive front panel controls ensure effortless operation and configuration.
Available in Black or Silver finish, the Rotel DX-3 is ideal for audiophiles seeking to enjoy music with a perfect blend of high performance and stylish design.
