A fantastic little piece of hardware
Like many others, I'm pairing this Topping D10 DAC with an O2 Headphone amplifier wired to a pair of HD6XX from Massdrop. I'm using Foobar2000 in Windows 10, with the proper drivers from Topping (that you have to download yourself), including the ASIO driver (replacing basic WASAPI) and the direct DSD link. You can look at the photos from Jcog below, I've got exactly the same audio devices. The result is phenomenal. Seriously. I used to have an ODAC (same designer as the O2 amp, it's a ~$100 DAC meant to be "transparent", i.e. perfect to the human ear in A to D conversionm and rivals reference hardware costing 10X more), but that ODAC died last year. I thought it good to save a few bucks on this D10 rather than buying a new ODAC, and with the added samplerates (192) and native DSD compatibility, it seemed like a great deal, provided the DAC part performed well. I can attest to that, I'm not missing my ODAC at all. This D10 is a wonderful piece of hardware. The dual output (RCA + Digital S/PDIF or coax) is great to have both headphones and some hi-fi connected to it — sound exits both at all times, so you just have to mute any non-used device. Obviously, via digital output the DAC will not be used in the D10, but the signal transport is very good, no jitter, just a great output. Other than that, not much to say, it does the job and does it well. Update 2020-03-23: still working great! I'm now using it mostly with Linux; works out of the box. I haven't tried DSD yet (I need a player on the Linux side and haven't investigated yet for a good candidate). This D10 is wonderful.

Pure quality, very neutral. Good succesor of oDAC and other reference DACs. I bought it as source do AUNE S16 where USB stoped working. Not as good as onboard USB but still decent, I like details and controlled bass. No so subtle as S16 but clear sound, on par or even better. Work well with TheWire amp and Lehmann clone amp. Good match for varienty of headphones. .

I only received this yesterday, but first impressions are rock solid. The build and aesthetic are great, and nice looking on my desk. The casing is a nice black brushed aluminum, and the orange L.E.D. looks great and isn't too bright. (note: It is orange, contrary to how some of the pictures online make it look red or yellow.)
The sound is also good, it isn't life changing, but noticeable and worth the money. It's hard for me to describe it after only a day, but I would say it sounds richer with my O2 and 6XX's. I have not yet tried it with DSD files, but I have heard from forums it doesn't make much of a difference. I will update this review in the future if I get a chance to listen to some higher grade files.
So far I am struggling with the inputs on this amp, as it is only usb input. Which is fine for PC, but I can't seem to connect it too much else, including my PS4. I am also running this driver-less, as Toppings website isn't accessible on my end for whatever reason. It doesn't affect the sound, but it might affect the L.E.D.s display of the music files quality as it seems stuck on either 44.1 or 384khz for me.
Other than the lack of versatility, this really is a great dac, both internally and externally. This along with my O2 makes for a solid and stylish combo that I am pretty happy with so far. I've included pictures to see what it looks like on a desk. If anyone who owns a D10 knows of any fixes, I would greatly appreciate it as I would love to give it 5 stars.

Your setup is so similar to mine it's uncanny ;-) I did fix my messy wires underneath though after forever

UzuzuAh cool! Seems like we have more in common than good anime taste ;p Yeah Just removed my rear channel speakers from my surround sound, thus the sorry state of my desks basement. Shockingly, brick walls are hard to screw any speakers too. Or anything for that matter.

It's better than I expected. Good dynamics and detail, and nice holographics/soundstaging. It doesn't have the body and realism of my analog sources or Borderpatrol SE, but for the price I don't think there's a better DAC. I tried swapping the OPA2134 with a OPA2604 I had on hand but couldn't tell a difference between the two, so I left the factory one in. It's a little brilliant and would have good synergy with systems having some natural high end rolloff.

Excellent device. Disappointing Drop packaging.
If you can live with only USB input, the D10 delivers staggering performance. I have zero complaints about the device. I am however disappointed with Drop's delivery - my D10 arrived without the white Topping protective box, and instead in a generic padded envelope. For many collectors and enthusiasts, this would be a deal breaker.

What a fantastic product for the price. Currently I have a Schiit Jotunheim with the DAC module yet the Topping D10 outperforms the Schiit DAC and makes the music really come to life and works fantastic with the 6XX. I am very impressed. No Brainer!

The D10 easily keeps up with my D50S
D10 = 105dB SINAD D50S = 110dB SINAD SNR for both = ~140dB According to Audiosciencereview and my ears, there really isnt a difference, and unless you're a hardcore subjectivist that ignores measurements, this D10 will stun you. So, if the style of the D50S and Bluetooth isn't a priority, just get the D10. It's impossible to tell the difference.

I have been playing music from my laptop over Foobar 2000 with ASIO and WASAPI + DAC / amplifier for several years. Last year I replaced the old DAC (Cambridge Audio DacMagic, FiiO K3) with a new one (DAART Canary, Topping D10-JDS LABS ATOM) just because of the amplifier. I don't know your sound card, but I highly recommend a quality amplifier. The HD 58x are beautiful headphones and the quality music format (DSD, Hi-res Flac, WV, APE) will make the difference.

So far so good!
This little DAC sounds clear and is perfect for every room. I have 3! I love the digital out and how easy it connected to my computer. I did need to go to the Topping website to get the drivers. Zero issues installing and honestly, at this price you can't beat the features.

It is just fine, my son-in-law loves it but I still prefer my CEntrance DACport HD, that is why Topping went away:). For the price, as I said, it is just fine.
