One of the few Topping D90s we have is now for sale. This is the AKM version in black, with original packaging, paperwork and accessories in very good condition. Not much to say really just a bencmark at its price a very linear sounding dac, lots of filters top play with. 768Khz ability, USBI2sAESSPDIF etc very flexible and great sounding. Universally loved. new cost was 900 Asking 495 ono
Compared with the obvious alternative at this level, this is ambitious: £495 is well above the £273 75th percentile and far from the £163 median for recent UK listings, so it is priced at a premium rather than in the normal used range. On the database numbers alone, that makes it look expensive unless the listing includes something unusually valuable.
That said, this model is generally regarded as a very capable DAC, so the appeal is straightforward: clean, resolving sound, strong measured performance, and a compact box that can be a long-term anchor in a digital setup. If it is genuinely excellent condition with the right accessories and documented provenance, that helps; but at this asking level, I’d want proof it is complete and carefully kept before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
