Topping D90LE Fully balanced HiFi DAC

The D90LE is a non-MQA version of the D90SE. In addition to not supporting MQA, the D90LE adds sound simulation and channel balance control functions. In addition, the functions and performance are same with the D90SE.

Playback your music in higher quality

The performance of D90LE has reached a new peak: THD+N <0.00005%. Clearer details are at your fingertips.

Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC transmission

D90LE has the certification of Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC. IT uses CSR8675 chipset to support LDAC/AAC/SBC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD protocol.

To get even better sound quality from Bluetooth, we abandon the built-in DAC of CSR8675 and connect it’s digital signal to ES9038PRO to decode.

Plug and play

D90LE has a wide range of compatibility: Windows 10 and above, MAC, Linux, IOS, Android can be plug and play. Only for Windows ASIO applications, you need to install the driver and set it up.

Turn your PC into a HiFi source

D90LE uses 2nd generation XMOS, USB supports up to PCM32bit768kHz and DSD512 native. With the help of customized Thesycon ASIO driver (for Win 10 and above), your PC will serve as a HiFi source (Mac doesn’t need a driver for ASIO applications). 

I2S input supports up to DSD512 native

Where there is a better interface , you can use the HDMI cable to directly send the I2S signal into the D90LE’s ESS9038PRO for better decode.

I2S input can support up to PCM32bit768kHz & DSD512 Native.

The I2S input provides phase settings, DSD channel settings and DSD indicator pin selection settings, which are compatible with most digital interfaces on the market that use the ODMI interface to output I2S signals.

This function uses only HDMI interface to transmit I2S signal instead of the standard HDMI signals. Thus it cannot be used for HDMI interface of the PC, TV, and set-top box

Selectable output

D90LE has balanced XLR output and single-ended RCA output. You can choose “XLR only”, “RCA only” or “XLR+RCA” output for different applications.

XLR 4V/5V & RCA 2V/2.5V selectable output

We understand that in addition to the more versatile XLR 4V and RCA 2V outputs, there are also extensive needs for XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V. D90LE adds options to set this to meet a wider range of needs.

When XLR 4V and RCA 2V are selected, more devices can be adapted; when XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V are selected, the performance will be pushed for extreme to more extreme.

Preamplifier function

In addition to the DAC mode with a fixed output level, the D90LE also has a DAC+preamplifier mode.

In this mode, you can control the output volume on the front panel or with the remote control.

This will provide great convenience when connected to a power amplifier or monitor speakers. And also help you leave the budget for a preamplifier.

Flagship achievement flagship

D90LE uses ESS SABRE ES9038PRO chip, that with 32bit Hyper-stream architecture achieve ultra-high performance in the audio field. Each channel of the D90LE will be arranged in parallel by 4 conventional balanced channel. This makes the performances of D90LE even better.

Different from the conventional parallel connection and then I/V conversion, the D90LE perform independent I/V conversion for the 8 channels of ES9038PRO and then connect them in parallel, which reproduces the real “4xDAC parallel connection” in terms of sound effects and technology. This makes the D90LE different from other DAC products using ES9038PRO.

Topping uses CPLD to process the clock and greatly optimize the digital signal, so that regardless of USB, optical, coaxial, AES input, the jitter is lower than -160dB.

Sound simulation

According to the unique harmonic performance of tubes and transistors, Topping added the s

Channel balance settings are adjustable within 10dB in 0.5dB steps.

The best headphone amplifier for D90LE is Topping A90

Full balanced discrete NFCA module, ultra-high output capability, 0.000055% ultra low THD+N.

0.1 ohm output impedance, wide gain setting, high output voltage, almost suitable for driving all kinds of headphones.
