You mean get the RME?I would rather have a tone control.

Yeah, but what kind of golden eared audiophile claims to hear the difference between 123 sinads and 115 sinads? You can get the latter for $129.I've been looking forward to this test for a while, and read it with some anticipation.
They've succeeded in their very focussed mission to make the cleanest and quietest DAC that it's possible to make. Succeeded where so many others have failed.
But the audience is hard to please.
And monthly payments...A Roon interface gives you both streaming and PEQ...
Technically perfect.
At this price range I would start looking into eg RME with tons of features, good HP amp, excellent customer support and quality.
If Topping wants to play in that league they have to work on the latter two.
Edit. Or even latter 5 ie everything but SINAD ;-)
I agree there are a bundle of DACs that measure within an inch of each other such that it makes no difference except for the feature set. and that’s where my money went, I have the RME for the features and support. but I might be swayed by something with room correction built in!
This feature + D70 Pro interface might be a better reason to upgrade my DAC, not a 0.3dB SINAD improvement over their last record…Thanks for the review @amirm
There is a separate thread in which the op said that these III devices (D90 and D50) would be upgraded to have EQ capability. Any additional information on that?
"D50 III has PEQ, and D90 III seems to be updated in the future."

I have had many RME devices for 20 years, I would not recommend them for home hi-fi.I'm about to the point that RME is going to go on my list of companies to never buy from. To many people saying get it.
Don't knock Porsche drivers here. It has nothing to do with how to spend one's money. Put yourself behind the wheel and you'll wonder why you're only focused on talking DACs.The same sort of mature wealthy male over-achiever who doesn't know how to spend all his money so buys the latest Porsche 99x GT3 that can lap the Nurburgring one second faster than his old car, but who will never take it anywhere near a circuit.
Why not?I have had many RME devices for 20 years, I would not recommend them for home hi-fi.
Change name, please.Come on Topping, at least change the design. I know you manufacturers all want to be like daddy Apple but it's not that easy.
Yes, why not? (I don't own one but would if I wanted to spend that sort of money.)Why not?

No, as I said earlier A-weighting has been applied;assumedly with newer version of AP shows 128dB
