For Audiophiles at Home
I’ve always loved the ritual of coming home, settling into my favourite chair, and firing up a dedicated setup. Gear labelled For Audiophiles at Home is made for those moments — when you can really sit back and appreciate music in its purest form 🛋️. These products tend to be more powerful, larger, and often require wall power — perfect for a stationary rig.
Here’s the trade-off: these setups often involve external DACs, amps, or full-size headphones, which means more space, more power, but also more immersive listening. They shine when used in quiet environments, where detail, depth, and dynamics can truly be appreciated.
When you see '🏠 For Audiophiles at Home' products, expect: exceptional fidelity, stronger output, and the kind of soundstage that makes you never want to leave your listening chair.
Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth
I tend to describe Bluetooth audio as wireless freedom with fewer strings attached — literally. When you see Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth, it means you can pair your headphones or IEMs with phones, laptops, or even TVs — all without reaching for a cable 🎶. It’s convenient, clutter-free, and great for everyday listening.
What’s happening behind the scenes is your gear is using Bluetooth codecs like SBC, AAC, LDAC, or aptX to compress and transmit your music wirelessly. Better codecs mean higher quality and lower latency. Of course, there’s a trade-off — Bluetooth won’t match the quality of wired gear, but today’s advancements have made the gap much smaller than before.
When you see '✂️ Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth' products, expect: tangle-free convenience and solid sound quality — great for commuting, workouts, or casual listening.
Connect With Cable
In my experience, there’s still nothing like the dependability of a wired connection when it comes to audio 🎧. I love describing it as the direct flight of music — no delays, no turbulence. When a product says “Connect with Cable,” it means you’re getting the most reliable signal path, with zero wireless compression and minimal interference.
Here’s what’s actually happening: a physical cable transmits uncompressed analog or digital signals directly from your source to your gear. This results in lower latency, no signal drops, and consistently better sound — especially when paired with a good DAC or amp. It’s ideal for critical listening, gaming, and professional use. The trade-off? You’re tethered — but for a lot of audiophiles, that’s a small price to pay for sonic purity.
When you see '🔗 Connect With Cable' products, expect: pure, uninterrupted sound quality that lets your gear perform at its full potential — perfect for focused, high-fidelity listening.
Why it Sounds Amazing
DAC Chip
I like to say the DAC chip is the heart of any audio device — it’s the part that actually transforms digital files into music you can hear 🎧. Think of it like a chef decoding a recipe to create a delicious meal. The better the DAC chip, the more faithfully it translates your music. And in my experience, a great DAC can completely change how your headphones sound.
Now, here’s what’s actually happening: a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) takes digital signals (your MP3s, FLACs, or streams) and converts them into an analog waveform your ears can enjoy. Different DAC chips — like those from ESS, AKM, or Cirrus Logic — offer their own sound signatures, levels of clarity, and noise performance. A good DAC ensures accurate timing, minimal distortion, and exceptional resolution.
When you see '⚙️ DAC Chip' products, expect: clean, detailed audio and better synergy with high-quality headphones — perfect for anyone upgrading from average sound to audiophile quality.
Decodes Upto
When I see "Decodes up to" listed in product specs, I think of it like a music translator that speaks more languages than you’ll ever need. It tells you how far a DAC or audio device can go in handling hi-res formats—think PCM, DSD, or MQA—and at what resolution. 🧠🎶
Technically, this refers to the maximum bit depth and sample rate a DAC can process—like 32-bit/768kHz PCM or DSD512. The higher these numbers, the more detailed and lifelike the audio can potentially sound. But remember, real-world improvements depend on the recording quality and your headphones, not just specs alone.

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.
