Overview
Up for sale is a virtually brand-new Rotel DX-3 Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier. This is the latest flagship desktop unit from Rotel, offering world-class performance in a compact, premium chassis.
Reason for Sale
I purchased this unit from Class A Audio (Melbourne) on 30th April 2026 and received it on 8th May 2026. As there was no demo unit available at the shop, I bought it to audition at home. After a brief test, I found the sound signature doesn't quite match my specific headphone pairing.
The unit has been used for less than two hours and is in 10/10 mint condition. It is effectively a new machine.
