Topping D90 MQA

The Topping D90 has quickly become one of the best-selling and highly-praised MQA decoding DACs on the market. Its fantastic build quality, great sound, and different features have proven it to be an amazingly versatile and state of the art DAC. Today, Topping Releases new Firmware for its D90–MQA DAC.

 As is the case with almost any DAC out there, especially new ones built around AKM’s latest AK4499EQ DAC chip, there is always the possibility of adding minor improvements and fixing small bugs via a firmware update. In the case of the D90 MQA, Topping went ahead and released firmware update V1.24, which addresses some minor issues for USB input users, enabling a new bit-depth for MQA users along the way. 

It seems that Topping’s engineers have been hard at work fixing the few bugs D90 users brought to the surface, and have thus released firmware V1.24 for the D90 DAC to address a few issues.

Topping Releases D90–MQA Firmware V1.24 Details.

Topping has stated that firmware V1.24 involves the following changes:

This firmware is only for the D90 MQA version. This firmware adds 32bit support to the D90 MQA version at USB input. If the firmware of your D90 MQA version already V1.24, then you needn’t do this update. The standard version of D90 already supports 32bit at USB input, so you needn’t do this update either.

Warning: 

Please noted that standard version D90 is not able to add MQA support by this firmware; flashing this firmware to the standard version of D90 may cause irreversible damage. So if your D90 is a standard version, please DO NOT try this firmware.

Firmware and tools for Windows: Download here (This update requires a Windows 10 OS with V4.82 drivers installed. V4.82 drivers could be download here).

Firmware and tools for MAC: Download here 

If you have questions about the upgrade of your D90 MQA version, please contact us before updating this firmware.
