TOPPING D90 III SABRE Dual ES9039SPRO DAC

TOPPING D90 III SABRE Dual ES9039SPRO Digital to Analog Convertor (DAC)

The TOPPING D90 III Sabre represents the pinnacle of TOPPING’s DAC engineering – “Classic Inheritance, Future Voice.” Powered by dual ESS ES9039SPRO chips with one dedicated to each channel, it achieves a staggering THD+N of <0.000045% and an SNR of 135dB. Combined with CPLD-based jitter rejection down to -160dB, a brand-new I/V conversion circuit, Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC, and flexible XLR/RCA output modes, the D90 III Sabre is the reference-class DAC for the most demanding audiophiles.

Dual ES9039SPRO: True Dual-Mono Architecture

Each audio channel independently utilizes a dedicated ES9039SPRO chip, providing higher SNR, greater dynamic range, and lower distortion than the D90SE. This true dual-mono design eliminates crosstalk between channels for a wider, more precise soundstage, achieving 135dB SNR and <0.000045% THD+N.

Advanced CPLD Processing: Jitter-Free Audio

TOPPING uses a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) to process the clock signal and optimize digital signal integrity. Regardless of whether the input is USB, optical, coaxial, or AES, jitter is suppressed to an incredible -160dB – one of the lowest figures in the industry.

Brand-New I/V Conversion Circuit

A completely redesigned I/V conversion circuit delivers lower distortion and lower noise while occupying less space. Pushed close to the physical limits of electronics, it squeezes the last bit of performance from the ES9039SPRO chips for authentic music reproduction.

High-Resolution Wireless Audio: Bluetooth 5.1

Equipped with the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 chip, the D90 III supports high-resolution codecs including LDAC, aptX Adaptive, and more, transmitting high-quality audio up to 96kHz/24bit – far beyond the CD-level experience.

Universal Compatibility and Ease of Use

The D90 III works seamlessly with Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS/Android. Its USB hardware is based on the XMOS XU316 with Thesycon drivers, ensuring stability and reliability, with simple driver setup for Windows ASIO.

Versatile Output Modes

Choose between balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs. The D90 III adds versatility with XLR 4V and RCA 2V modes for broader device adaptation, and XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V modes for pushing performance to new extremes.

Preamplifier Functionality

With a 12V trigger and preamplifier capability, the D90 III integrates seamlessly into a full TOPPING ecosystem, letting you chain devices for greater convenience and control.
