Yes, it works good. See my review of that: https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...-topping-d10-as-usb-to-s-pdif-converter.2699/Just curious, has any one tried the digital outs from the D10? If it works good, it makes a lower price alternative to most of the other usb to coax converters, plus the bonus of a nice DAC.

So probably You are going to compare it with............?By reading 24 pages of this thread, it may prove I am crazy. I will probably get a D10 since it is dirt cheap, supports lots of formats, measures well, and nobody is complaining about the sound.
It would replace an Audioengine D1, provided that the sound was not too forward or exhibiting what some call artificial detail. The D1 only goes up to 96k and requires work arounds to get 88.2k to play. It's sound might be too relaxed.So probably You are going to compare it with............?
I did compare the D10 with mine Xone 4D soundcart which has a AK4358 at that time(2008/9) one of the better dac's around. I also compard it to mine around 36 year old Philips CD630 with 1541A DAC (with JK accoustics analog modification simply better analog components then where found in the CD630 at the time) which was (and is) still one of the best DAC's around. If i compare those two to the D10 i can't hardly make a difference. Maybe the AK4358 is a bit more pronounced in the High frequensies. The reason for me to buy the D10 was first almost perfect measurment & strong output level which implicates that there can't be hardly any issiues with the sound quality like collored sound and tight bass. But as important i can now play every files from MP3 to DSD and don't have too spend a fortune.It would replace an Audioengine D1, provided that the sound was not too forward or exhibiting what some call artificial detail.

Just tried it through a powered USB hub. Lots better but I can still hear it when I plug in the USB cable - there is usually absolute silence even when preamp is cranked all the way. Sucks, sucks, sucks.....
May we know who the seller is? so we can avoid buying from them...thanks
Probably it is better to open the D10 an take a detaild picture an post it here to see if all materials/parts are original (as far we can validate the parts by seeing a picture).May we know who the seller is? so we can avoid buying from them...thanks
Why don't I buy it from you to test here? I feel bad that you bought it based on my measurements and don't want you get stuck with a bad product.Just tried it through a powered USB hub.

Oh praise be our benevolent lord and saviour king amir ..Why don't I buy it from you to test here? I feel bad that you bought it based on my measurements and don't want you get stuck with a bad product.
For what it is worth, I am not sure this is a one-off issue. It sounds like a potential USB isolation problem. So an exchange may still get you the same problem.
Yes, there were some reports on Topping D50. There, removal of the power from USB worked but that won't work here because Topping D50 has separate power input.I don't know what to make of it really. All the other DACs and USB audio devices I have work just fine on the iMac with no issues or noise. I really appreciate your offer Amirm. You say it may not be a "one-off" issue, does that mean you've experienced problems with other Topping offerings?
