The D10s is an accessible digital-to-analogue converter from TOPPING, a well-established Chinese manufacturer known for accomplished, value-focused digital audio engineering, built around the well-regarded ES9038Q2M conversion chip in a compact chassis. The D10s brings TOPPING's considered engineering to an accessible digital conversion format.
Key specs that matter
The ESS ES9038Q2M conversion chip handles digital-to-analogue conversion. DSD compatibility reaches DSD256, with PCM support up to 32-bit/384kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output impedance is 20 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio is an exceptional 120dB - a remarkable figure for this accessible price tier, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.0002% at 22kHz. At a remarkably compact 103 x 146 x 37mm and just 0.327kg, the D10s maintains a space-efficient, lightweight DAC chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the exceptional 120dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.0002% distortion figure, representing outstanding value at this accessible price tier.
Pairing
TOPPING's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader accessible catalogue.
Alternatives
TOPPING's own DX3 Pro+ offers a related model with built-in amplification within the same broader catalogue.
