Description of Topping D10s USB DAC XU208 ES9038Q2M - HiFi Audio Decoder (Silver)

♫ TOPPING D10s USB DAC: Customized Thesycon driver + XMOS XU208 + ES9038Q2M + OP. ♫ Automatic power on/off: Even some USB port support power after PC has shut down, D10s still will synchronously power on /off with PC. ♫ Audio format andsampling rate indicator: D10s can accurately indicate the audio format(PCM or DSD) and sampling rate of the playing music. Orange LED is soft and not dazzling even at night. ♫ OP-AMP Rolling, D10s has OP amp socket, Diyer could change the OP amp to get different sound. ♫ Multiple connections: D10s could connect with your active speakers. It could connect to power/headphone amp. If you have a better DAC , you can connect the coaxial /optical output of D10s to your DAC , then D10s serves as a USB interface .

Good DAC for old stereo

I use it with an old phone and an old stereo to listen to various streaming services. It brings the old stereo into the modern age.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Reliability

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price of money. Suitable for receivers and amplifiers

Value for money, the sound is very warm, similar. No MQS, but at this price. It is in order. High-quality sound up to 192 kHz. A good starter purchase, on par with the Schiit'3 product.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Excellent in every way

Phenomenal DAC. Connect the laptop to D10s USB, the digital output to the car DSP, then to the amplifier and finally to the speakers. I find the display of the current bit rate very neat and excellent for flex.10/10, I was not disappointed.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • unreliable

Exceeding D10s. Excellent DAC. Worth every dollar.

Build quality and overall appearance surpasses much more expensive DACs. I would recommend the Topping D10 to anyone looking to boost their digital library. The soundstage and presentation are amazingly reproduced.

Pros
  • Excellent fit for me
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Damn great DA converter.

This thing sounds amazing (can't hear it at all) and does exactly what I need it to do. I use it to extract audio from PCM and provide TosLink to DSP. It runs over USB for both signal and power and is really easy to integrate. Good product!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great sound at a great price

I bought my first one to hook up a headless Plex server to my old school Bryston/Accuton stereo. The sound quality is better than the much more expensive EAD DAC it replaces. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my office system. It powers a pair of KRK Rokit 5 G4s. Huge improvement over the audio output from my computer.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • New Competitors

Best value for money

If you don't need any other inputs for your DAC besides USB then this is a bargain compared to the Topping E30 (which is also very good). Combined with a good amp like the L30 and a few good cans, the thing shines. Very clear sound from all angles, just make sure you change your windows audio quality settings to reflect the 32-bit 384kHz capability of this device.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Interchangeable
