Reviews
“I think the DX3 Pro+ seems like a complete unit that's priced competitively and will be hard to match by rivals, feature-wise... It can dish out serious amounts of power.”
— Headfonia
“Distortion products are at -125 dB worst case which is well below threshold of audibility... This combo unit gives you everything you need in a compact and attractive unit at excellent price.”
