Discover the Rotel DX3 Headphone Amplifier: Compact Design, High-End Performance
Rotel’s new DX3 headphone amplifier and DAC packs flagship performance into a compact chassis. Learn how it fits into your personal Hi-Fi setup in our video with Rotel.
At ListenUp, we’re excited to introduce the Rotel DX3, a premium headphone amplifier and DAC designed to deliver reference-quality performance in a sleek, compact form. In our latest video, Scotty G sits down with Darren from Rotel to explore everything this premium personal audio component has to offer.
Built with the same high-performance DNA found in Rotel’s Michi series, the DX3 headphone amplifier features a fully balanced, differential Class A design, a high-end 8-channel DAC, and a toroidal transformer built in-house by Rotel. This combination ensures clean, powerful output for a wide range of headphones — from ultra-low to high impedance models.
The DX3 isn’t just a headphone amp. It can also function as a dedicated DAC or preamplifier, with balanced and unbalanced outputs, coax, optical, Bluetooth, analog, and USB inputs.
Whether you’re upgrading a desktop setup or integrating it into a larger Hi-Fi system, the DX3 delivers serious versatility without compromising on sound or build quality.
Rotel also unveiled the DX5, a matching integrated amplifier that shares the same aesthetic and engineering values, offering 25W per channel (8Ω) with multiple input options, including HDMI and subwoofer out for a 2.1 solution.
If you're a headphone enthusiast looking to take your personal listening setup to the next level, the Rotel DX3 is a must-see.
