Our DX5s might be here for the weekend @Raymond Lin
Unrelated, here is another track that has excellent production listening on speakers, the imaging is just superb.

Hopefully it will be here tomorrow, it says it’s at the hub. I almost thought it was today because I had another package form Evri delivered but it was just my numpad.
Found an odd quirk with the PA7 this evening, I thought initially it was my XLR cable as it was only with the left channel. There is a very very very faint high frequency noise coming from the left speaker when nothing is playing. I only noticed when I was wiping the speaker cabinet earlier so my head was right up against the front, it's the kind of sound you might hear from a wall wart power adapter sometimes, only audible up really close like right next to it.
Switched from XLR input to SE and it went away, switched back to XLR it came back, turned the volume knob to the right and it went away.... hang on, it's in bypass mode so why does the volume pot have an affect on this??
Bypass mode maxes out the volume, but it seems the knob is still attenuating on 6the circuit and it's just being clamped out along the board somewhere when bypass is enabled at the switch on the back. It's not a sound I would have heard otherwise if my head was not up against the speaker. Moving the volume dial all the way to max makes the sound go away.
The sound is there in non-bypass mode too if the volume dial is at 25% or below, so definitely a pot attenuation thing.
So to fix it I will just leave the volume dial on max since I am using bypass mode anyway.
It's so faint that I can't even pick it up with my mics set to max gain.
Weird.
Edit* After further testing just now turning off some other devices in the room (projector etc) so the entire room is deathly silent it seems the sound is completely gone if I enable non-bypass mode. It's still there in bypass mode either end of the volume dial, just less audible when the dial ix maxed. It is completely gone in non-bypass mode at any volume setting on the dial.
Thankfully setting the dial to max and flicking the bypass switch on and off with audio playing shows there is zero difference in volume, so I am happy to just leave the switch on normal mode and replicate bypass mode by just maxing the dial. Yeah the noise is so faint I would not hear it sat at the desk, but now that i know it's there it would bother me otherwise.

I win!
(Casing is metal, front facia is metal but the knob is a kind of rubberised plastic)
Nice unit, feels solid, knob turn has a soft notch to it, got UK plug but not turne it on yet.
edit - i think the knob is a rubberised material on metal.

I only have IEMs, cheap IEMs with me at work atm….but I will test it later at lunch at least to make sure it works.
Wait, I think the knob might be metal too, I am not quite sure. The front of it is cold to the touch.

Topping DX5 II
link no longer works Odd. Just updated mine an hour ago. Hopefully the update didn't cause other issues and that's why they pulled it.

Some folks not liking the release of a new product with so many bugs it seems

My Denon AV amp and Philips TV (6 years old almost) do OTA updates by themselves, it only need a network connection to wifi so it's not really difficult.
