New Topping D90SE DAC

I was planning of ordering the brand new DAC from Topping as their previous units have always measured well and many found they really liked the balanced sound. 

I read the audioscience review but measures don't always translate into pleasant sound quality. 

Does anyone have any experience with the new unit?

"I owned a Topping D90 a couple of years ago. Neutral, clear, precise, sterile, boring! I bought it based on the glowing reviews by the likes of ASR and really tried to like it. Eventually sold it to a friend who is still enjoying it."


With Solid State Amps and Harbeths, no wonder you found it boring! ---

I like my D50s. I power it with 5V battery pack and backgroud is very dark. I like the sound quality of D50s.

I owned many dacs, from audio note , Lampizator, metrum acoustics and chord. Recently I ordered a topping pre90 and the toppingd90se , to go with my Coda continuum n8 power amplifier (speakers Dynaudio Heritage special). I am seriously impressed by this dac, which is also the cheapest dac I owned sofar. The metrum acoustics onyx dac, had perhaps a slight better sound staging, but as far as details and dynamics this toppingd90 se is just the next level. Also compared it with the dac in my Accuphase dp430 , it just sounds better. Very impressed with topping sofar. Greetings from Holland.
