PaddyMcD Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 (edited) Great DAC and admittedly, better sounding than the DAC in my current Yamaha receiver but I'm downsizing my system and no longer need. Has lived in my cabinet unused for over a year. Has a few white specs on top but in otherwise in perfect condition. I will included a USB - lighting cable to connect an iPhone / iPad which I used it to play HI-Res Audio from Apple Music. Purchased in 2022 from Chi-Fi Audio in Melbourne. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-e50-review-balanced-dac.26219/ The sound quality is good enough for all kinds of applications With the help of careful design and adjustment, E50 provides a distortion as low as 0.00009% and a dynamic range of 126dB, providing you with perfect sound quality. This also makes E50 suitable for applications: high-fidelity PC-HIFI system, mobile phone/tablet OTG, CD player/turntable external DAC, digital broadcasting external DAC, TV DAC and so on. ES9068AS DAC Chip E50 uses the latest high performance DAC chip ES9068AS. With our excellence in design and engineering, it provides realistic and transparent sound quality. USB supports DSD512 & PCM768kHz high resolution audio USB input of E50 has a wide range of compatibility: Windows 10, MAC, Linux, IOS, Android can be plug and play. Only for Windows ASIO applications, you need to install the driver and set it up. USB input has the best performance of E50. It uses XMOS 2nd 16-core processor XU216, which brings the support of 32bit 768kHz PCM, DSD512 native high-resolution audio and MQA full decoding. Even in ASIO application, we have customised Thesyon driver for Win10. (The sampling rate supported by different OS may vary due to the OS itself). Coaxial and Optical (Toslink) also has good performance On the E50, the traditional optical and coaxial input not only supports 24bit 192kHz PCM, but also supports Dop DSD64 and MQA rendering. Ultra low jitter for USB inputs jitter is no longer anxious Using CPLD to process the clock and greatly optimise the digital signal, achieved incredible jitter suppression capabilities. The use of new technology makes the femtosecond crystal and external clock no longer needed to supress jitter. 5V power supply anytime and anywhere E50 uses a DC5V power supply, which can be easily accessed almost everywhere. You can power it up by USB port of PC, mobile phone charger or even a power bank. All inputs support Auto On/Off function E50 auto On/Off function, it will automatically turn on and set to the input which the signal is valid. And when the signal of E50's selection is not valid for 1 minute, E50 will turn off automatically. Selectable output ports E50 has full balanced TRS output and single ended RCA output. You can choose "TRS only", "RCA only" or "TRS+RCA" output to meet different usages in the multiple systems. Preamplifier function E50 has preamplifier function so you can control the output volume on the remote control. This will provide great convenience when connected to a power amplifier or monitor speakers. And also help you leave the budget for a preamplifier. Edited April 19, 2024 by PaddyMcD
