I bought a Topping D90 after reading glowing reviews and close to perfect measurements. Tried to live with it for almost 4-5 weeks, but it didn't connect with me emotionally. I sold it to a friend of mine who absolutely loves the DAC ... he has had many low-to-mid-fi DACs and prefers the Topping by a wide margin. Truth be told, it actually sounds amazing in his system.
The moral of the story is that there is just no way you can know for sure whether you would like a DAC or not until you hear it in your own system, regardless of what the measurements are telling you.
