Key Features

Dual ES9039S PRO — True Dual-Mono Fully Balanced Architecture
Each audio channel independently utilizes a dedicated ES9039S PRO chip, providing superior channel separation, higher SNR, greater dynamic range, and lower distortion compared to the previous D90SE — setting a new benchmark in its class.

CPLD Clock Processing — Jitter as Low as -160dB
The D90 III Sabre uses a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) to process and optimize the clock signal, achieving incredible jitter rejection of -160dB across all inputs — USB, optical, coaxial, and AES — for a pitch-black noise floor.

MQA Full Decoding — Renderer, MQA & MQA Studio
MQA decoding is not limited to USB — it is supported on coaxial, optical, and AES inputs as well. All three MQA decoding modes are supported: Renderer, MQA, and MQA Studio, giving you full flexibility with your streaming and file playback setup.

Brand New I/V Conversion Circuit — Pushing Physics to the Limit
A completely redesigned I/V conversion circuit delivers lower distortion and lower noise while occupying less space. This circuit is engineered to extract the absolute maximum performance from the ES9039S PRO chips.

THD+N <0.000045% — Authentic Transparent Reproduction
With a total harmonic distortion figure of just <0.000045%, the D90 III Sabre reproduces music with extraordinary clarity and precision. Every micro-detail, every breath, every texture flows through without coloration.

LDAC Bluetooth 5.1 — Wireless Beyond CD Quality
Equipped with QCC5125 and Bluetooth 5.1, the D90 III Sabre supports LDAC / aptX Adaptive / aptX HD / AAC / SBC — transmitting audio at up to 96kHz/24bit wirelessly, delivering a listening experience that surpasses CD resolution without a cable in sight.

Preamplifier Mode — Connect Directly to Power Amplifier or Active Speakers
In addition to a fixed-output DAC mode, the D90 III Sabre features a fully functional preamplifier mode with volume control, allowing direct connection to a power amplifier or active speakers for a cleaner, more streamlined system.

Flexible Output Levels — XLR 4V / 5V & RCA 2V / 2.5V
Choose between standard output levels (XLR 4V / RCA 2V) for maximum device compatibility, or push to higher output levels (XLR 5V / RCA 2.5V) to extract the last drop of performance from your amplifier chain.

IIS Ultra-High Specification Input — Full Compatibility
The D90 III Sabre supports IIS mode selection including DSD FLAG 15/14, IIS DSDR LRCLK, IIS DSDR DATA, IIS PHASE STD/REV — compatible with most digital interfaces on the market.

12V Trigger I/O — Smart System Integration
The built-in 12V Trigger input and output allows the D90 III Sabre to be triggered by other devices or to actively trigger other components to power on and off synchronously — perfect for an integrated hi-fi system.

Plug and Play — Wide OS Compatibility
Compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. USB audio is based on the industrial-grade XMOS XU316 + Thesycon driver (Windows ASIO). All other systems work driver-free.
