My friend tried it under roon rock (Nuc Intel) and volumio (Raspberry), and the problem is present on both!

This is subjective, as I could not test both dacs at the same time. But, with the Gustard X18, I had the impression to find the sound of the D90SE/LE...unlike SMSL SU9N. Note one point about Gustard x18. Under linux, DSD drivers are a problem, in my opinion they are generic, but they will...

Hi ! Thanks for your link. I have since tested the SMSL SU9N (which I sent back because I found it not as good as the D90LE/SE....the bass is omnipresent), but it worked perfectly. I finally adopted the Gustard X18. So, 4 DAC tested on my configuration (including my old NAD M51), only the...

The remote control of the SU9N is not great, but it is better than the D90LE!

I finally ordered an SMSL-SU9N to replace the Topping. After a few hours of listening, I have no problems. Even the passage between tracks is silent, something that never happened with the topping. This is to be confirmed over several days.

Thank you all for your contributions. I sent back the D90SE today, disappointed by the TOPPING experience. Regarding the purchase of a preamp, in my configuration, I find it a shame to have to buy one just to run a DAC. If you add the price of a preamp to the price of the DAC, the deal is still...

Thank you for your contribution. Before your message, I had tested with Volumio, Daphile and foobar, disabling the software sound control. I am using a PC that is a bit old under windows 10. I am on x86, I could only try Jriver, and the results are identical. I don't really need a preamp...

I quickly plugged it back in when I got home from work.... and well disappointment...it doesn't change anything at home.... Nevertheless, keep me informed if it continues to work for you after several hours of listening.

A post with similarities to our problem: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-d90se-noise-when-playing-dsd-files.36139/

Exactly the same problems as you. There are even details that you mentioned that I didn't put in my description: - Changing source: USB to optical the problem persists. - Presence of the static noise on the right speaker, or left or both. Without an update of the DAC, I think that we will not...

I'll plug it back in and test it again within the week to confirm on my end.

I feel less alone! My D90LE was up to date (delivered with the latest firmware: Balance, valve), and that didn't change the situation unfortunately. Let me know how it goes for you. Yes, that is the deduction we made. I sincerely hope that @JohnYang1997 can help us, because when it works, it is...

No, my amp doesn't allow it.

Thank you for your contribution. What kind of files do you listen to? Because the problem seems to occur when playing DSD / PCM 192 (or higher).

I have encountered the problem with 3 different units (2xD90LEs which I sent back, and recently the 1xD90SE which I still own). For one of the D90LEs, my dealer managed to reproduce the fault, and I also reproduced it at a friend's house. It would be quite a coincidence to have 3 defective...

I think so. I did a lot of testing before I went on holiday, but I have my doubts. If it's important, I can do another test. What I do remember is that even when you turn the sound down very low, the flaws, keep the same sound level.

My problem is not only when changing tracks. When the defect appears, it is present throughout the song, only stopping the DAC allows to stop it.

Hello, I have a problem with the preamp/DAC mode (static noise, crackles and popping). The DAC feeding directly my power amp (NAD C275BEE). I have tested 2 x 90LE and 1 x 90SE, and I still have the same problem. In simple DAC mode, they work perfectly. I managed to reproduce the fault at a...

With volumio, I tested in DSD direct, volume software deactivated. I managed the volume directly with the DAC. Under foobar, the volume control was also disabled, only manageable with the DAC. The rear panel of my amp has a volume control (but it is not practical!). When I activate the single...

I tried with 2 USB cables and different ports. When the problem was reproduced at my friend's place, we used his cable and his Volumio raspberry. Here is the feedback from my dealer: "Hello, We have identified a phenomenon (static noise when playing DSD then PCM rather hot) for which we have...
