Just trying to compare soundstage, detail definition and physical presence of the musicians and emphasizing how this D90SE is good compared to Accuphase top notch. Not any scientific measurement used here.
Once more astonished by this sub 1K DAC. Setting it for pure DAC (no pre amp) XLR output only, Bluetooth off, FTIR 7 for PCM and 5V got me almost 70% sound pleasure compared to my 13 times more expensive Accuphase DC950 that uses two D90SE chips one for each channel and a beefy power supply...
Sorry but it does sound wonderful if used as a DAC only with balanced output only and connected to a balanced rig.
I do not believe a D10S or E30 can match it’s sound. It is pure heaven
D90SE is fully balanced with top ESS Sabre chip and full MQA. So, if you have a fully balanced pre amp/amp/integrated amp that is the Stairway to Heaven!
Just received it to test it against my Top bucks Accuphase DC-950 that uses two of this ESS chip but has serious restrictions when compared to the cheap Topping D90SE.
Found this insteresting article and setting tips here:

So, iFi Zen streamer is a better solution with same sound quality but without the gapless issues of SD-9. What a pity since the SD-9 seems to have more bang for the bucks.
Actually the only advantage of I2S and USB over SPDIF is the ability to carry DSD native and higher PCM resolution than 24/192.
I2S also allows carrying clock signal apart.
Thanks Amir for a great work revealing these marketing false info. Really eye opening scientific analysis!
This so called High End is full of BS based only on pretending audio specialists with no other background than audiophile ears.
It is not a matter of specifications war but a good audio...
One strange thing here. With QOBUZ streaming via Ethernet and using USB output/cable connected to my Accuphase DC950 DAC, It shows the correct frequencies but also shows two bit more than the standard signals. 26 instead of 24 and 18 instead of 16 bit. When using Tidal everything return to...
Wow factor is high with this SD9 connected via USB to D90SE from the start. Jawdroping! Lots of details, huge and holographic soundstage. Without any burn in used with a dedicated pre/power/speakers is amazing.
