I'd personally go for the D10. Better IMD performance, and bonus coaxical s/pdif output.

Hard to go wrong with the Topping D10. The SPDIF outputs are a unique and useful feature to have on hand. The DAC itself is excellent and represents a baseline for transparent DACs that probably makes upgrading to anything more expensive unnecessary for the standard use case (DAC & headphone amp stack).

Topping D10.
That display is a useful tool to tell you that your software and connection is delivering what you expect.
The shape is more convenient for popping on a desk or on top of a headphone amp. Also easy to shove behind other gear if you don't want to see it.
Works as a USB>S/PDIF converter if required.
