Topping D90LE - Top performance for less money

As a beginner in the world of audio, your videos teach me so much! Your rel t5x review was essential for me and it really helped me make a decision! Now dacs are a whole new beast I am trying to demistify! Thank you for being so helpful!

You are by far the best in your job, no doubt. Great refinement and depth of description of the audio characteristics of the devices reviewed, in an absolutely understandable English even for non-native speakers

Your sound descriptions are simply delightful, it’s a pleasure and it is educational at the same time. ;) (thumbs up).

Great and well explained information about MQA. Lively description of sound qualities as always.

Always interesting, informative and entertaining. Your research, preparation and delivery of content is first class and much appreciated, thanks.

Phenomenal review! Goodness I love how detailed you are in describing all the details of the sound. You truly are the best in YouTube when it comes to understanding and describing how things sound. Everyone wastes time on things we can see on the Internet but they don't talk about these details and you're super good at it! Wonder how ot does against the pontus ii

Awesome review! - I am one of those people who has been anxiously waiting for this video- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - Also Id like to add that the MQA Topping D90SE just received a firmware update which greatly improved the sound. All the things you describe about the D90LE are now present in the D90SE... This wasn't always the case for the original D90SE. Soundstage used to be flatter like the D70 and bass was less punchy and textured. But the new firmware solved all these problems. This new firmware was written to accommodate the new D90LE and carried over to the older D90SE with all it's improvements. Since they are the same DAC they share the same firmware. Topping had time to listen to all the feedback from the older D90SE and made very positive changes to the firmware for the release of the non-MQA D90LE. This new and improved firmware then carried over to the older but mostly identical D90SE. Punchier, better micro detail, cohesiveness, 3D soundstage, texture, etc... Truly amazing! - Thanks again for your amazingly detailed review! You are like the D90SE\LE of reviewers!

This video is not too long. Can’t get enough of your informative description of sound differences.

Great review. No bs, no filler. All useful, technical info.

Good thing they dropping the MQA scam. I sold my original D90 after ab testing it against the apple dongle though.. was a sad day but my wallet is very thankfull.

Good review. Keep up the great job.

I have just upgraded from a Topping D50s DAC to the D90LE, and everything you say in this review I can confirm, the detail and resolution is simply astounding, I was always impressed with the D50s but the steep up to the D90LE is worth every penny. Just for information I auditioned the D90 (AKM4499 Chipset) about a year ago and was not impressed, I enjoy detail and resolution and dislike warm mid-range forward sound, so the D90 AKM was not for me, on my system (Music Fidelity M5si and B&W 702 Signitures) the D90LE is as close to perfection as I can afford, simply stunning !

TY! For another awesome review!

you express yourself very well. English is not your first language yet you speak it better than most people I know. Great review

Great, great, review. So well expressed.

Very nice and accurate review. I have the D90LE and also prefered the 4V mode for the same reasons that you said. I am very satisfied with it.

another great review, also want to see more of music and recordings recommendation in your videos pls

Another awesome review 🙂

Great information, thank you.

Brilliant review! Thank you for explaining MQA and highlighting that it is only used in TIDAL. I use Qobuz so no need for me to have a DAC supporting MQA - bonus! I have contacted the Topping dealer here in the UK and will be receiving the demo D90LE in the coming week to test with my system. Currently I'm using my Chord Mojo so it will be interesting to hear how the D90LE compares. Keep up the great work!
