Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)
- Thread starter amirm
- Start date
In other words don't bother about D90SE as there won't be a Non-MQA version. Get something else which will be cheaper. D30 Pro perhaps!

I think this mqa thing is getting blown out of all proportion. It's starting to remind me of the satanic panic.
Wow, and Bob Stuart still can't afford a proper hairdresser?
The good thing is that due to the logo it is clear if it is incl or not. So not to buy is a decision option too in most cases.
Thank you. At least someone gets it.
If i could like your post more than once i would. you are now my favorite "major contributor"
My prediction is that MQA will rest in peace like HDCD.
It would be interresting to know from you who buy this if it works without problems when connecting it to a CD player. I bought the D30 Pro and it do not work well with some CD-players, including my CD-player from Cambridge Audio. Many have had the same problem with other CD-players.
Same concern i had but i thought john already addressed that in this thread.
Oh. In this tread? I didn’t see.
D90se has no compatibility issue with CD players.
there was a time when the "big" CEC TL1 did not work with some DACs due to the jitter generated by the CEC TL1. May be it's the case other CD players.

Probably not. Once Spotify releases their lossless audio feature, between them and Apple Music, there will be no reason to use Tidal.

for the love of god, poweramp to complete this fairytale.
The way I see it, it is a business decision. Maintaining multiple SKUs has a considerable cost (not least related to inventory), and they already have two (case color). In fact, the ensuing cost can be larger than the MQA markup. Hence they have to decide what to do, and for market reasons it is the non-MQA option that gets chopped.
It would have been better to pull a "Matrix" - I remember that they had one DAC where MQA could be activated later at a cost, and this could be done here as well, but apparently software development skills are not among Topping's best (display fonts horrible, behaviour of the volume buttons makes them difficult to use) and this is something they should work on.
yes. it can. it depends upon the unit being connected to
D30 Pro is lacking BT btw. At this point, assuming the DAC meets audibility threshold, it's become about features, support, price, etc. For this price I'd rather see SW out (and a way to implement the crossover to the main speakers) and some PEQ than more zeroes in THD+N. Nonetheless very nice achievement!
