The TOPPING D10 Balanced (D10B) is designed to bring the benefits of balanced audio—including higher output voltage and superior noise rejection—to the budget desktop Hi-Fi segment. It serves as an ideal bridge between your computer and any balanced headphone amplifier or active speaker system.
The D10 Balanced is engineered with modern components to deliver technically pristine audio quality.
At its core, the D10B features the ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip, allowing it to achieve exceptional objective performance. Key measurements include a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 125dB and astonishingly low $\text{THD+N}$ ($\text{<0.00012%}$), ensuring transparent and accurate sound reproduction.
Utilizing the reliable XMOS XU208 USB controller, the D10 Balanced supports high-resolution playback up to $32\text{bit}/384\text{kHz}$ PCM and Native DSD256. This ensures complete compatibility with the highest-quality files from platforms like Tidal, Qobuz, and local music libraries.
This model stands out from its siblings by offering dedicated, high-power balanced outputs for noise-free integration.
The D10 Balanced features 6.35mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) balanced line outputs, providing a robust 4.2Vrms output level. This configuration significantly reduces the chance of ground loops and noise, especially when connecting to balanced amplifiers like the TOPPING A30 Pro Headphone Amp or professional active monitors. (Includes TRS to XLR adapters for versatility.)
Like the D10s, the D10 Balanced includes Coaxial and Optical (TOSLINK) digital outputs. This functionality allows the unit to act as a precision USB Digital Interface, extracting the clean digital signal from your PC and routing it to a separate, higher-end DAC if desired.
USB Powered: The unit operates entirely on USB power ($\text{DC5V}/\text{0.5A}$), eliminating the need for bulky external power bricks and simplifying cable management.
Auto Power: The D10B powers on and off synchronously with your computer, providing convenient, true plug-and-play desktop usability.
Sample Rate Display: A soft Orange LED display clearly indicates the audio format (PCM/DSD) and the current sampling rate, offering real-time assurance of playback quality.
