That is great to hear. Did a straight through stock HDMI cable work, or what is the wiring end to end you used to accomplish the I2S connection?I amusing the Cayin N6ii DAP as a digital transport with the Topping D90 via I2S. You just have to make a couple of changes to the software-defined pinouts in the D90’s menu. It works perfectly and sounds a little better than using USB. One big benefit you get is that you get a fully MQA unfolded data stream sent from the N6ii to the D90. This means that you don’t really need to buy the MQA version of the D90 if you want MQA.
I play local FLAC files and stream TIDAL and Qobuz from the N6ii to the D90.
One thing you should be aware of is I2S ‘standards’. There mostly aren’t any standards! Many I2S interfaces use PS Audio’s implementation of I2S, many don’t. What I do know is that the N6ii and D90 work over I2S.

This one?
Singxer SU-2 DSD1024 USB Digital Interface Femtosecond Clock Interface — HiFiGo
I was wondering if that would help - did you use it to convert from USB to Optical / Coax or I2S?
Please describe the setup details, configuration/setup of the SU-2 in the data chain

So I'm coming back to my firmware issue from a few weeks back. I've now connected a Imac. My issue now is when I download the firmware there is only a .bin file and .txt file there is no .exe file. The .bin file won't open. My computer does "see' the D90 and it is on and connected. Any answers?I'll try again tonight. I can access the D90's software on my computer, I've changed usb inputs, the computer is "seeing" the D90. I'll try and shut down and restart in the order tonight.

Is this update also applicable to D90 MQA version? I don't see D90 MQA specified.Updated driver released. Download here.
Version 5.0.0.20099
Date: 2020-12-15
Not found any release notes but will update if I do.
i think it is. there is firmware update specific to D90 mqa but the driver is for both D90 models.Is this update also applicable to D90 MQA version? I don't see D90 MQA specified.
The bin file won't open. I downloaded the firmware for mac and there are three files in the download, the .bin, the readme.txt and the Topping usb dfu (app). When I try to open the .bin I get an error msg. "Unable to expand "D90 MQA" it is an unsupported format.
Taz777, I really appreciate your help. Your walkthrough worked perfect. All updated and working as good as knew. The D90 is an amazing piece of kit for the $$.
Hi all,
Got the A90 + D90 (MQA) stack here and I am trying to get everything up and running with Tidal MQA (bare with me as I am not very experienced).
Iphone 12 (Tidal Masters) >> USB >> D90 (DAC only) >> XLR >> A90 (HPA) >> 6.5mm output to my Sundaras.
Trying to run MQA from Tidal based on the above setup but only get "OFS" on the D90 screen, shouldn't it say MQA. for instance when playing Coldplay X&Y?
Anyone have any clue what I could be doing wrong?
