A Full-Fledged MQA Decoder Revealing Sonic Magic That Artists Create In Studios

MQA, or Master Quality Authenticated, represents an audio codec that undergoes studio approval and authentication. The process initiates with audio capturing and recording, followed by MQA folding the file, a method known as "music origami," making it suitable for streaming. The primary aim is to deliver audio surpassing CD quality on any device and to provide the original master recording experience when coupled with an MQA decoder. With a complete MQA decoder, the Topping D90 III Sabre meticulously unfolds MQA files, ensuring the highest attainable audio quality. This procedure employs precise file and platform-specific DAC compensation and management, unveiling the authentic musical craftsmanship created by artists in recording studios.

Experience Plug-And-Play Convenience Along With Bluetooth 5.1 Connectivity

With convenient plug-and-play functionality, the Topping D90 III Sabre can be effortlessly paired with a wide range of audio devices compatible with Windows 10, MAC, Linux, iOS, or Android. It's important to note that when using the Topping D90 III Sabre with a PC, you'll need to install and configure a custom XMOS XU316 and Thesycon ASIO driver (specifically for Windows 10). In contrast, Mac users won't require a driver. The Topping D90 III Sabre is certified for Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC, featuring a QCC5125 chipset that supports Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. This chipset expands compatibility with various audio codecs, including SBC, AAC, aptX HD, aptX-Adaptive, and LDAC, allowing for wireless transmission of high-quality audio up to 96kHz/24bit, delivering a music experience surpassing CD quality.

Jitter-Free & MQA Decode Enabled USB, Coaxial, Optical, AES & Bluetooth Audio Inputs

The incorporation of XMOS XU316 in the Topping D90 III Sabre enables comprehensive MQA decoding, supporting PCM up to 32bit/768kHz and native DSD512. MQA support extends beyond USB input, encompassing Coaxial, Optical, and AES inputs. This broad compatibility ensures the enjoyment of music at a quality surpassing that of CD. All mentioned inputs are compatible with the three MQA formats: Renderer, MQA, and MQA Studio. Regardless of the chosen input, the D90SE consistently delivers a jitter-free output by utilising CLPD to process the clock and optimise the digital signal, reducing the jitter to as low as -160dB.

A Dedicated IIS Input With Multiple Settings That Supports PCM & Native DSD Decoding

If you prefer to direct the IIS signal straight to the DAC chip of the Topping D90 III Sabre, utilise the HDMI cable for enhanced audio decoding. The dedicated IIS input on the Topping D90 III Sabre, supporting PCM up to 32bit/768kHz and native DSD512, seamlessly interfaces with nearly all digital devices using HDMI to transmit IIS signals. Explore various settings on the IIS input, including phase settings, DSD channel configurations, and DSD indicator pin selection settings. The Topping D90 III Sabre offers flexibility in IIS mode selection, including options like DSD FLAG 15, DSD FLAG 14, IIS DSDR LRCLK, IIS DSDR DATA, IIS PHASE STD, and IIS PHASE REV. It is compatible with a wide range of digital interfaces.

Selectable Balanced XLR And Single-Ended RCA Outputs For Easy Connectivity

Equipped with both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs, the Topping D90 III Sabre provides ample flexibility for various audio configurations. You can opt for "XLR only," "RCA only," or "XLR+RCA" selectable outputs to suit different applications. For expanded versatility, the Topping D90 III Sabre offers XLR outputs at 4V/5V and RCA outputs at 2V/2.5V, elevating audio performance to new heights. Choosing XLR 4V and RCA 2V allows compatibility with a broader range of devices while opting for XLR 5V and RCA 2.5V enhances performance to a higher level.

Exact Control Over Your Volume Output With DAC + Pre-Amplifier Mode And 12V Trigger

While the Topping D90 III Sabre can function in the DAC mode, offering a fixed output level, it also provides the option to operate in DAC+Preamplifier mode. In this mode, you have the flexibility to adjust the volume output using either the front panel controls or the included remote control. For optimal results, consider pairing the Topping D90 III Sabre with a power amplifier or monitor speakers. The 2.4G Bluetooth remote control remains unaffected by obstacles, allowing for flexible and convenient control from a distance, enhancing overall usability. Additionally, the D90 III SABRE is equipped with 12V Trigger input and output, supporting triggering by other devices and actively triggering other devices to switch on and off synchronously.

Pairs With Almost All Headphone Amps But Works Best With The Topping A90D Amplifier

Designed with a fully balanced NFCA module, the Topping D90 III Sabre delivers ultra-low noise at 0.2uV, ultra-low THD+N at 0.000055%, and a 0.1-ohm output impedance. Thanks to its broad gain setting and high output voltage, the Topping D90 III Sabre is compatible with a wide range of headphone amplifiers. For an optimal audio setup, it is recommended to pair the Topping D90 III Sabre with the TOPPING A90D headphone amplifier. The RCA output of the Topping D90 III Sabre provides 2.1Vrms @0dBFS (4VMode) and 2.6Vrms @0dBFS (5VMode), while the XLR output offers 4.2Vrms @0dBFS (4VMode) and 5.2Vrms @0dBFS (5VMode). Both the RCA and XLR outputs have an output impedance of 100Ω.
