TOPPING D90 III Sabre Fully Balanced HIFI DAC Dual ESS9039S PRO

TOPPING D90 III Sabre — Fully Balanced Hi-Fi DAC with Dual ES9039SPRO

"Classic Inheritance. Future Voice."

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

Key Features

• Dual ES9039SPRO — True Dual Mono Architecture — Each audio channel independently utilizes a dedicated ES9039SPRO chip, providing higher SNR, greater dynamic range, and lower distortion compared to the D90SE. This true dual-mono design eliminates crosstalk between channels for a wider, more precise soundstage.
• CPLD Clock Processing — Jitter as Low as -160dB — 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, this circuit squeezes out the last bit of performance from the ES9039SPRO chips, achieving authentic music reproduction at THD+N <0.000045%.
• Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC & aptX Adaptive — Equipped with Qualcomm QCC5125, the D90 III Sabre supports LDAC / aptX-Adaptive / aptX-HD / AAC / SBC wireless codecs at up to 96kHz/24bit — delivering a music experience beyond CD quality wirelessly.
• Flexible Output Modes — XLR & RCA with Two Voltage Options — Choose from XLR only, RCA only, or RCA+XLR simultaneous output. Two voltage settings are available: standard XLR 4V / RCA 2V for maximum device compatibility, or high-output XLR 5V / RCA 2.5V to push performance to the absolute limit.
• Preamplifier Mode — In addition to fixed-output DAC mode, the D90 III Sabre features a full preamplifier mode with volume control, allowing direct connection to power amplifiers or active speakers without a separate preamp.
• Universal Compatibility — Plug and Play — Based on XMOS XU316 USB hardware with Thesycon driver support, the D90 III Sabre is compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Only Windows ASIO applications require driver installation — all other systems are plug and play.
• IIS Ultra-High Specification Input — Supports IIS mode selection including DSD FLAG 15/14, IIS DSDR LRCLK, IIS DSDR DATA, IIS PHASE STD/REV, ensuring compatibility with most digital interfaces on the market.
