Hello everyone, I have had D90 topping for about a week and I can only confirm what the MEASURES declare. The D90 topping is a fabulous dac that currently has few rivals. I compared it with an audiophile dac R2R or the Aqua dac La scala MKII optologic and there was no match. The D90 was more open, more precise, more detailed, and the instruments were better separated and scanned, and it was also at a disadvantage towards Aqua, as the D90 was attached to a standard USB socket of the pc while the Aqua was attached via I2S to a Pink faun bridge.
The measurements really tell you what device you have, forget about the esoteric and R2R magic appliances. On my system I have not noticed this magical component that goes beyond the measures.
Truly a really nice product and I can only thank first of all audioscience review (that if it were not for this site I would never have discovered how good there is around at moderate prices) and then topping that has created an exceptional product. Good.
Nice review! Can I ask you a qucok question. How natural is the sound (timbre) with the new AK4499 compare to the other R2R DAC you have? Thanks
