Great Product

This DAC is built to high standards. It offers top performance and the sound quality is exceptional. It fits perfectly into my high-tech setup with McIntosh and Martin Logan. This is a steal compared to other more expensive DACs.

Maybe B is better. - Home Theater

I have replaced my top DX7s with top D90 MQA's which are missing from the D90. Output RCA and XLR ONLY DX7s RCA, XLR and Coaxial. What use are all these inputs and few outputs. The metal and compact rc-21 remote that came with my dx7s is basically the same as the D90, but the D90 rc15a is long and plastic (see photo), overall the sound is good (for this price range) . Price should be better quality remote control and more outputs.

Absolute endgame for me. Wow

This DAC is amazing and I can't believe the surround sound this thing produces. Connect it to Adam Audio A5x or Presonus E5 XT and you'll get sound so clear and detailed it's impossible to describe. I wish the AKM factory didn't burn down so others could try the thing. The best way to describe listening to this DAC is like activating cheat codes in a video game. A cheat code is like breaking down a wall or turning off the fog of war when you can just see everything in a video game. You just…

Clarity and Detail - Home Theater

Yes, I'm happy with the Topping D0 MQA DAC. I use it for standard Tidal PCM and MQA. What I particularly noticed was an increase in the clarity and smoothness of the frequency response. Surprised that the performance on the RCA outputs was noticeably better than the balanced XLR outputs! In general, the best sound performance is obtained with balanced outputs. I used the same Cardas AudioIridium model with RCA and XLR cables and was surprised by the result. I noticed that the output voltage…

Do not doubt! - One of the best upgrades of my system for $30,000!

I recently bought a Topping D90 MQA from DiLis-HIFI (great customer service/company btw). Honestly, first things first - if you are considering this product. Take it. Right now. If you're a casual listener and not used to audiophile prices, the price might seem high; it's not for the quality it offers. You will not be disappointed. If you are a music lover and are hesitant to buy from a new company and/or feel the price is too cheap for everything they have to offer, don't hesitate. DiLis-HIFI,
