TOPPING D90LE
HIGH-END QUALITY DESKTOP DAC
The Topping D90LE is a high-end converter that delivers extra-high performance thanks to its intelligent and careful design. It features an ESS ES9038Pro DAC chip, XMOS interface and Altera Max II CPLD, has an integrated Bluetooth receiver and offers a wide range of connections.
BLUETOOTH 5.0 CONNECTION
Equipped with a Qualcomm CSR8675 chip, the D90LE offers Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, allowing convenient streaming of music directly from a smartphone or tablet. In addition, this chip supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX LL and LDAC codecs, making it suitable for high-quality processing of high-definition recordings over wireless connections.
XMOS XU216 USB INPUT
The USB input of the D90LE is backed by a 2nd generation XMOS XU2013 16-core chip supporting high sampling rates up to 768 kHz/32bit PCM and DSD512 resolution. The unit is bundled with a custom Thesycon driver for interfacing with Windows-based computers. No driver software is required for Android and MAC systems.
FULL CONNECTIVITY
The D90LE has a full range of connectivity options to adapt to any system. You'll find AES/EBU, USB-B, optical, coaxial, I2S, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 digital connectivity. For analogue outputs, it offers asymmetrical RCA and symmetrical XLR connector pairs. The D90LE offers a selectable output system, the signal can be routed to either the XLR output or the RCA output, or both. It also allows the selection of the output signal level, with XLR output 4V or 5V and RCA output 2V or 2.5V, depending on the needs of the playback system and the receiving amplifiers.
PREAMP FUNCTION
PRE-amplifier mode In addition to the DAC mode, which produces a fixed output level, the D90LE also offers a pre-amplifier mode, in which the volume can be freely controlled, allowing the unit to be connected directly to power amplifiers, active speakers or even to a speaker.
ESS ES9038PRO DAC CHIP
The D90LE features an ESS Sabre ES9038Pro DAC chip, which uses a 32-bit HyperStream architecture for extremely high performance and accurate, detailed sound reproduction. The DAC performs independent current-to-voltage conversion using the 8 channels of the ES9038Pro chip, driving them in parallel.
CPLD ALTERA MAX II
The Topping D90LE uses an Altera Max II CPLD for clock signal generation and processing, optimising digital signal handling and significantly reducing digital timing errors, jitter.
