Its stock DAC module is equipped with a flagship ES9039S PRO DAC chip, while the amp module consists of two OPA1612A op-amps which will be driving your cans. The coolest feature of the XD05 PRO is that we are dealing with a fully modular DAC/Amp combo and in time, we’ll be able to swap the stock DAC and amp modules with new ones that are currently under development.
The big guy is called XD05 PRO and in the following chapters, I’m going to reveal all the good, the bad, and the ugly. You can dislike its sheer size, weight, and ballsy look, however, these guys put a much bigger effort into polishing its sound, tone, timbre, and feature set, which I believe are standing out from the crowd. Some of those ideas are not ready to be revealed and the unit that I’m most proud about isn’t ready yet, but the gizmo that I will be testing today was discussed for a very long time. From their tiny XP2 PRO to bigger units like XD05 Plus and XD05 BAL, the sound was brimming with more life compared to their close competitors.Īround two years ago I started exchanging emails with xDuoo, trying a plant a few ideas that might be adopted in the future. Starting with tiny dongles and moving up the ladder to bigger units, all of them had an unmistakable house sound that could only be described as fun, life-like, and very dynamic sounding.

I tried multiple desktop and portable devices of xDuoo and up to this point, all of them have been meticulously tested around here. This website and YouTube channel sprinkled with life thanks to an xDuoo TA-20 review that started it all.
I have a long history reviewing xDuoo gear.
