Model-specific specifications

Exact model / architectureStereo DAC/preamp with switchable output mode and digital filtering; no microphone/line ADC, balanced output or headphone amplifier.
Digital inputs / interfaceUSB-B computer audio, one coaxial S/PDIF input and one Toslink optical S/PDIF input.
Analog / digital outputsOne stereo unbalanced RCA analog output; no XLR or headphone socket.
Supported formats and ratesUSB: PCM through 32-bit/768 kHz, native DSD through DSD512 and DoP through DSD256 per TOPPING documentation. Optical/coaxial: PCM through 24-bit/192 kHz; rates depend on source S/PDIF output. DSD is not assumed on those S/PDIF paths.
Power5 V DC external supply; use a regulated supply with the stated connector/polarity. USB data is not the sole power connection.
Drivers / host compatibilityUSB audio on computer hosts; TOPPING Windows driver may be required for high-rate PCM/native DSD and ASIO. macOS/Linux support depends on the selected USB Audio Class mode; confirm the exact manual and player settings.
Compatibility caveatsThe RCA outputs can be configured for DAC/fixed or preamp/variable operation. Verify mode and level before connection; optical/coaxial cannot match USB’s maximum PCM rate.

Compatibility & preservation

The RCA outputs can be configured for DAC/fixed or preamp/variable operation. Verify mode and level before connection; optical/coaxial cannot match USB’s maximum PCM rate.

  • Record the exact product name, hardware revision, serial range, included power supply, firmware and driver version before service.
  • Match digital sample format/rate to the selected physical input and host mode; set downstream amplifier level safely before playback.
  • Keep the model-specific manufacturer manual with the device; connector shape alone does not guarantee electrical or protocol compatibility.
