- A BIG thank you to Apos Audio for lending the Topping D90iii Sabre for review, much appreciated.
The Topping D90iii Sabre is the 3rd version of the D90 DAC line. It has all sorts of technical advancements and measures fantastic but does it sound good? How does it compare to the Fiio K9 Pro, Aune S9C Pro and Mytek Liberty DAC ii?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.

Good morning Dave ❄️☕️
A good and informative video this morning.
I’ve ended ( for now 😊) my DAC chase.
Denafrips Ares 12-1 DAC ….smooth like butter 🧈 and open sound .
Have a great week ☕️
Thank you, great review, helped a lot! 👍
My pleasure, you're welcome. Glad you found the review helpful.
Thanks! I hope to see a video review also for the Topping D50iii
Thanks for the suggestion
Thanks Dave!
My pleasure, you're welcome.
Nicely Done.
Any change you can request the xDuoo XD05 Pro from Apos for review ?
Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion.
Ohh new release
Gustard A26 is among the best DACS I heard - whats your take the Honest Audiophile
I've not heard the A26.
I'll stick with my Lynx Hilo. 🤓
Great channel and good info. I also find you incredibly attractive. 😊
Glad you enjoy the channel content.
Thanks for entertaining reviw,not a customer but like to listen and watch your videos.
Topping and other chinese makers were never on my radar, they suit more these young guys who really don't know about real music and real instruments ( jazz and classical).
But one thing really makes me angry,or I wonder how the owners of previous versions of the same product feel when they see a new version out???
What is then a resale value of their existing product???
Just makes me sick,all that crap Smsl,Topping and such
Glad you enjoy the channel content.
Your review could have been summed up in one word, transparent. Dac should not change the original sound at all.
Can you compare it with the DX9 from Topping? I’m thinking it will be completely different being AKM . My wife bought me the DX9 on recommendation from my 8 year old nephew 😂. I’m going to to try to build off it and get it a nice streamer and a good all around headphone for up to 1500 dollars . I think it will be nice to have when I’m gone on the ship for 6 to 8 weeks . Again great video . I’m not on social media media but will look to join one to find more of your content .
Sorry haven't heard the DX9.
There are a lot of DAC and amp reviews to help you upgrade.
