TOPPING D10B Balanced Desktop DAC 4 1

TOPPING D10B Balanced Desktop DAC

The D10B is a balanced upgrade of the D10s. It features balanced only output, upgraded specs, and 32-bit/384kHz playback. If you’ve been waiting for a balanced DAC that won’t shatter the piggy bank, this is it.

With balanced audio comes better specs. The D10B outspecs its predecessor in THD+N, SNR, dynamic range, output level, noise, and crosstalk. 

The D10B features balanced output via a balanced TRS line out. Run balanced TRS cables or XLR cables by using the included adaptors and connect a balanced amplifier or active speakers.

The D10B features an ESS ES9038Q2M SABRE DAC chip that supports up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256 Native, making it an ideal decoder for lossless libraries and hi-definition streaming services like Amazon HD, Apple HD, and Tidal.

With 125dB of signal-to-noise ratio, the TOPPING D10B would have to be cranked louder than an ambulance siren before passing along hiss or noise to your headphones or speakers.

Connect the D10B to a balanced headphone amplifier or bypass the amp altogether and connect the D10B directly to a pair of active speakers.
