Corretto but maybe different sound and sound quality (soundstage depth, instruments) Will be affected by output stage (ops, clock and so on)
Only in one’s imagination.

Could you explain me tour opinion?
The differences between these DACs are well below what human hearing can detect, according to measurements. Both perform at the limit of today’s technology, they will sound the same if properly level matched.
So Will be no reason ti but a dac that costs 30% more
There are cheaper models right? I don't really see why D90se is got compared to.I tend to think the D90SE is somewhat overpriced too, but it has MQA which adds to the cost.
There are EX5, E50, D30pro, D10 Balanced that cost considerably lower than D90se.I have both.
There is very subtle differences that I could find between them sonically.
However these are the physical differences between them:
1. Sabaj D5 is bigger, heavier and feels more sturdy built. The power cable is thicker and 3 pin.
2. D90se feels lighter, smaller and feels more compact. The power cable is 2 pin and feels little cheaper.
3. Volume knob is better on D90se. D5 knob as the 'step and springy' feel. D90se feels more smooth and fine controlled. (Sonically however both are same)
4. D5 is more complete with the headphone amplifier.
5. D5 does not have 5v xlr output mode.
6. Given the price difference, D5 is more suited for budget constraints
I may be wrong, somehow I am getting a feeling Topping is going towards more 'premium pricing'

Of you think about instruments details, sound agility, soundstage and black between instruments therr are relevant differences?
Considering that which one di you suggest to buy?
I find a little better resolution and transparency with d90se. But I may be imagining them with the knowledge that it has lower noise floor (?inaudible)
Given a choice I would choose D5 because of it being a complete package (with head-hone ampiflier) and half the price of D90se. If Bluetooth is required than D5 does not have it. (I use a separate Bluetooth device with Apte-hd
I usually don’t comment much. But yes I do buy Topping products.There are EX5, E50, D30pro, D10 Balanced that cost considerably lower than D90se.
D90se is the best measuring DAC currently. So if you want the best, I guess.Thank you. I dont Need headphone amp. Higher price will justify better sound of d90se?

But sonically it may not be much different.
I guess just go with what you require and compare the specs.
I love my stack of Topping D90se+Topping A90.
Thank you. I dont Need headphone amp. Higher price will justify better sound of d90se?
By performance? D5The D5 price on Amazon is only 20 euros more than the Topping EX5 now. Which of the two would you pick?
