Rotel's DX-5 integrated amplifier is the one audio upgrade that made my speakers sing. The small, minimal device with just a power button, source button, headphone jack, display, and knob is easy to operate. However, if vinyl is your format of choice, you need a turntable with a preamp or a dedicated preamp. This article reviews the DX-Five for its ease of setting up and accurate sound for any style of music. The DX-five uses an ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chipset, supports 32-bit/384 kHz PCM via USB-B, and supports aptX HD and ACC protocols via Bluetooth. It also provides a choice of choice between KEF speakers and Outlaw audio amps.
