TOPPING D90 III Discrete volledig gebalanceerde HiFi-DAC - BT 5.1-ondersteuning LDAC PEQ-instelling desktop-audio-voorversterker met bluetooth-afstandsbediening (zwart)

My setup consists of the following: Parasound A21 amp, BAT VK-30 tube preamp, Pass Labs SR-2 Speakers, Eversolo DMP A6 streamer, Marantz CD player/transport. I have been using the DAC in the Eversolo with good results but wanted to try a standalone DAC and after doing a lot of research this seemed like the best bang for the buck around that $1000 price range. The difference in sound between the Eversolo and the D90 Discrete was quite surprising. Hard to put in words but the first thing that comes to mind is "smooth". It really took the edginess off the sound especially in the midrange that I didn't realize was there. It made the system even easier to listen to, not that it was fatiguing to begin with, but now even more so which I didn't think was possible. The treble also improved quite a bit, more "air" for sure, and again just smoother. Sound stage has def widened a bit as well. These are my first impressions after a week of listening. I have been switching between the eversolo and the topping as I have them both hooked up using XLR to my pre, so just a push of a button to change inputs between the two to compare in real time. Not one time did the topping not sound better, smoother, just more enjoyable. Even the wife could easily tell a difference and thought the topping was by far better. My CD transport sounds much better now as well using the topping vs the internal Eversolo dac. What also is great is I now have an EQ I can save that will work using the CD player where the Eversolo EQ only worked on the internal player. I like to turn the treble, around 16k, up a few DB with a Q around 3 to help air out the top end and I have a 400hz bump I can smooth out as well in my listening room. The topping tune software was super easy to use. The remote is finicky though and my only complaint, it just sometimes randomly doesnt want to work, then it will work fine most of the time. Not a big deal as I dont switch inputs very often and use the volume on my preamp 99% of the time. Switching to this DAC vs using the Eversolo has made a great improvement to my setup and I am very very happy with it, I love the way it sounds, so much more natural, smooth, more detailed, its just a great piece of gear. On paper the specs of this thing are nothing short of incredible, I couldn't imagine a better sounding DAC at this price and if your considering it as an option I couldn't recommend it enough, I would be surprised if it did improve your setup as well to a noticeable degree. I sure took me by surprise.

Unglaublich Hochauflösend. Enorme Steigerung der Soundqualität. Sehr natürlicher Klang. Die Topping-Tune App sollte man nach dem Einstellen auch immer ausgeschaltet lassen. Auch im Autostart einstellen, dass die App nicht startet, wenn der PC angeht, dann klappt das auch mit dem EQ um/ein und ausschalten via Fernbedienung.

Superb DAC! Nobody needs to spend more on a DAC. Musicality, rhythm, soundstage, mid tone textures, smoothness and details are top notch. Bass is not as dry as with other DACs but it is more rolling more involving. Body is plenty but not unreasonable. IMHO it beats all the more expensive DACs I have listened to. DSD is extreme good with this DAC which is a common problem with most other DACs. The combination of musicality on one side, flow and texture and detail retrieval on the other is simply outstanding. I can hear never heard details on CDs that I know for 40 years! One other standout is quite perplexing: The micro dynamics are breath taking. Not only that one can hear all the details but now you also hear that the notes are played with very different impact and volume. This DAC transports the music into your listening room with all the nuances and still manages to create a rather smooth and very musical presentation with a H U G E soundstage. Honestly, world reference DAC sound quality for under €1000! Simply amazing! Thank you China and Topping.Especially good for 80's music and classical.

When my unit arrived it had a known issue with popping and clicking whenever sounds would start to play. I contacted support and they had me update to the latest firmware which resolved the issue. DAC sounds amazing, almost too clean.

I am very impressed by the sound quality of this DAC coupled to the Eversolo DMP A6. The Eversolo sound was too bright and harsh, the Topping D90iii discrete further increases the level of detail, improves the soundstage, tightens the bass and most of all reduces fatigue and smoothens the high frequencies. Delivery from China was great, customs tax are included and it took only 9 days in total. Very good responsiveness of Hifi College, even at the weekend.
