Guys, I am truly sorry for linking to 9V iFi power supplies below the video instead of the correct 5V ones. I was tired while finishing up the description late that evening and I didn't realize my mistake until the viewer @MrSpotface wrote me about it. Links are now corrected, but you have my sincerest apology and a promise to double-check everything so this kind of mistake never happens again.
Could you add these comparisons:
E30 + iPower vs E50 + PC USB
E30 + iPower vs Loxjie D30
Thanks so much for such a detailed review, love the comparisons too.
@@mag4633 if you add it to a powerbank it prolly sounds better.
Hello i am using svs prime wireless Soundbase integrated amp with polk s20 pair, what dac would be best for my setup?? Please suggest me😊
Hi, Do you think the Topping E-50 can improve the sound quality of my $300 Yamaha CD-S300 cd player? Thank you kindly.
So I was sceptical about the benefit of ipower making much of a difference to my e50 dac. But then for such a small outlay I thought why not give it any go. Well an immediate and definite improvement was obvious. Thanking you for the tip and the channel, from a happy new subscriber.
This is a really great review. Comparisons and sound description are priceless. Very useful, very interesting. Great job
You did an excellent job communicating the essentials of this dac in a very clear and concise way, thanks
Very clear, logical DAC comparisons, helped me a lot in terms of sound to expect from several I've been interested in.
Thanks for the insightful review as always! I enjoy watching your take on different audio gear and value your impressions. Been eyeing on the E50 and your review solidifies my eagerness to get one 😃
Thank you for a clear and pedagogic review. Keep up the good work!
This review format is perfect just perfect.
Thanks for this very good and detailed review. I was waiting the review of this newly released Topping E50. GOOD JOB 👍 👍
Thanks for your good review and thank you for making clear what's happening with MQA.
This is a great review not the first I saw from you. You are very good doing this Thanks! I am getting this DAC
Nice job! Very informative. Pointed out all of the important features. I have to point out how impressed I am with your English.
First video. Instant subscription. Great review, and I loved the comparisons.
clearly explained and details i like to hear from a reviewer, thanks
Nice review! Just ordered the E50 and am looking forward to hearing what this DAC can do.
👍👍👏🏻👏🏻💪💪💋❤️
Another fantastic review for English not being your native language you speak so eloquently about sound music you are my favorite reviewer it looks like you have been doing this for many years well done congratulations I love watching your videos so informative because of you I’ve purchased a topping the D70S and I absolutely love it my cousin has a $1400 dac and both of us prefer the topping D70S
Great review as always.
Well that was a heck of an intro! Thanks for making me laugh bro!! And now on to the review.
yes I was waiting for this!
Really like your explanations of sound and comparisons. Great job!
This is the first dac I’ve ever owned and could not believe how much better the music sounds.
I had an E30 and was thinking about the E50 but I also wanted Bluetooth and headphone amp in one box. So I ended up buying a Cambridge Dacmagic 200m for €450 and I'm very happy with it. Also has ESS dac chips, sounds great, the headphone output is good and Aptx BT does a good job. It would be nice to watch your review of the Dacmagic.
Just got mine it sounds amazing. Really happy. And you can plug my iPad straight into it.
Marcin Patrzalek is awesome! Thank you for pro reviews!
I was expecting the comparison between your beloved khadas tone 2 pro and e50. Anyway, great work. Easily liked and subscribed
Took me P50, Topping’s power supply to a friend’s house. He’s running his speakers with a $25. dollar dac. Switching from a wall wart to the P50 immediately improved the sound by a lot. It even sounded a bit louder or dynamic and clearer. Maybe the crappier the dac the better the improvement. It also improved my E30 and E50 too. I’m sure a better switching supply would help, I’ve tried a few and batteries too. But if you’re listening to audio gear worthy of an E50 another $155. Can. is a no brainer.
Love to see you review Topping D90SE....
Been hearing lots of positive reviews and very curious if its that much good...
The reviews I've seen say it's practically indistinguishable from the D90 with an AKM chip. So a superb DAC whichever version you get hold of.
Great review
Very informative, thankyou.
Another great and useful video. It gave me a good little laugh, too, at the 7 minute mark: 'How does it actually sound? In one word, it sounds pretty darned good'. lol
Thank you for comparing to E30. Just what I was looking for.
Another great review. It seems like the DAC market is growing rapidly. As someone who's been loving their original dacmagic, being fed by a Digi one, what would an E50 or Modi MB bring to the table? This would be in a speaker at up.
"In one word it sounds... pretty darn good." Love it!
TRS to\from XLR adaptors and very good TRS patch cables are easy to find. Since they are not marketed towards audiophiles they are very affordable:)
Thanks review.
Great review. How it compares against khadas Tone 2 Pro in balanced DAC mode in therms of soundstage, Thanks.
Lovely review dude! I was wondering if you could review the xduoo xa-10 dac/headphone amp? It would be lovely to hear your thoughts xx
Would love to see you review the geshelli j2 dac
Love to see this pitted against the $249 Geshelli Labs J2.
Add on, I would like to know if the differences are at all significant or minor..
I think Passion for sound compared both of them and preferred the e50
I already bought my Topping E50 after watching this review
So HAPPY, its A VERY GOOD DAC!!! Thank you for this review.
Having no bluetooth functionality I am planning to buy a bluetooth receiver. I have 2 options.
1. Ifi zen dac blue (I watched your review)
2. Topping BC3 LDAC bluetooth receiver
(or Maybe you have a recommendation)
Result I am looking for is something livelier dynamic /analytical
Which one do you think will give that kind of result?
Can you make a video comparing the 2 bluetooth receiver?
Another competitors as full decoder dacs are ifi zen and khadas tone 2 pro. How do you compare them with this?
Hello, thanks for your review. As I read the specs, the E50 only has jitter attenuation on USB, NOT on s/pdif/toslink. So it could matter for the sound - if you are evaluating on USB or spdif/toslink. And a comparision of the two would be relevant.
Thank you for the review. Currently am using Topping D10s. Knowing you already reviewed D10s, how do you compare it with E50? Do you think sound vise, E50 can be considered as an upgrade? Would there be considerable sound improvement or we can't notice them? Thanks in advance for your opinion on that.
Is there a way you can pass through the E50 to a powered subwoofer and also to a integrated stereo amp that doesn't have a sub out?
Hi, I have a Topping P50 linear power supply which is perfect for the E50 dac. If I use this combination with trs balanced cables on my stereo, would this be very different from the E70 or E70 velvet? Regards Tor Damsleth.
I have an SP200 would you use the EX5 as a Dac Or the E50 as a Dac. Or what Dac would work, I look at the su-9 or the su-8s would like it with MQA
BTW I loved the way you describe using a Sub woofer comparing it to drawing that exactly how I see it..
Hi and thanks for the review! I have a warm sounding poweramp (Vincent) and a pair of Dynaudio emit 50! This is nice but I need a DAC with volume control that is better than a the NEO iDSD wich I using now, what would you recomend? Best regards Mikael
I have Denon PMA 520 amplifier. E50 or D30 Pro which one would be better combination?
Modi multibit or E50? Which one did you like better and why?
Hello my friend!Review Musician Audio Draco please!I love your reviews.You are explaining the differences between sound way better than the other hifi RUclipsrs!By the way are your from Bulgaria,because you accents sounds Bulgarian :)))...
Close guess, I'm from a neighboring Serbia. Haven't heard about Draco, will take a look.
@@iiWiReviews Hehe close indeed!Draco is newer than Pegasus and it is supposed to sound more musical and balanced.And it is cheaper too!Put that in your review list for the future...I really want to hear your opinion about that R2R DAC.Cheers!
which is better topping e50 or loxjie 30d new version 2021 or maybe Modi Multibit?
I have the topping E50 and a Ifi Zen Can signature Hifiman. Would going balanced into the headphone amplifier make much difference to the sound? I have Hifiman Sundara and Edition xs and use them with a balanced cable going into the Ifi Zen Can signature headphone amplifier. All I notice really is that it's more powerful that way. What can I expect going balanced from the dac to the headphone amplifier?

Hi
I struggle bit with the decision.
I have an Marantz CD 5005 and would like to replace it for denon dcd900ne or marantz cd6007.
But now im confused. Maybe i should buy a decent Dac and use the Marantz cd 5005 as a transport.
Which one will suit better..
Topping E50
Topping E30II
SMSL SU1
Or maybe something else.
At the moment im using it floor standing speaker Q Acoustics 5040
Arcam SA20 amp and IFI Audio Zen Blue V2.
Thanks for any suggestions and help
You find the D30Pro to be "warm"? I agree that it is rich sounding and detailed, but I found that at the wrong Filter settings (i.e. fast roll-off), it can be too bright at high frequencies. Otherwise, at slow roll-off, I find it mostly analytical and linear, but in a good way (not sounding flat or such).
If you already have a ifi-ipower power supply for your E-30 and want to upgrade... btw what about the ipower X. It is more expensive but maybe better?
I currently own a gc7 soundcard which I like for gaming, along with a topping L50 amp and a hifiman he400se. For now I don't use the balanced capability of the L50, I don't know how much the he400se would benefit from it; if it's only about volume it's plenty loud as it is, but are there other benefits from running a balanced setup? More impactful basses for instance?
I was wondering if it was possible to hook the GC7 to a balanced DAC with the opt out; this way I would still retain the functionalities of the GC7. Could I also expect a bigger soundstage doing so?
How does this DAC compare to the Modi Multibit?
Hi) What do you think of topping e70? I'm very interested to hear your opinion and comparison with the e50. The price difference is not very big, but the e70 has a more advanced 9028pro chip
hi, what's the difference between the ifi power ... and the ifi power x? a thousand thanks
How does Topping E50 Compare to D50S and D70S ? Are they even in terms of sounds quality ? SMSL SU8 sounded to me more clear and a bit more open and detailed than the Topping E50 Looking to just get E50 and L50 Combo or is it worth to spend more? My budget is around 1000Euro.
How would you compare this and good power supply with the SMSL D6S sound? Thank you.
Very nice. Some recommendations for amps under 100$, which aren't schiit or liquid spark? Thanks man :0.
I do recommend to see a very strange budget amp from Takstar, called Ha 101. I do never saw anyone asking for it, but it's 90 dollars, and is 1000 mw/16 ohms and portable at 11V. I'm noob at this, but it's sounds amazing for it's price. And Takstar is known for doing underrated things
This or the ifi zen dac v2 For desktop speakers? thx
The channel Passion for Sound says that the larger (2.4A I think) Apple power bricks are pretty clean switching power supplies, would love for you to try and hear your thoughts.
This is his video I referred to, btw: ruclips.net/video/Kp2cGjscYKM/видео.html
E50 or d70? sound in a vacuum, which is better.
Just be aware that in the history of audio, XLR connectors were originally used for mic level signals that require a fair bit of gain to get up to line level while 1/4 inch TRS connectors are natively balanced line level connectors. The distinction may have become somewhat blurred with the use of extreme gain controls but you will find that some devices still assume the original usage & may not provide sufficient gain or attenuation to cover this. This sort of adapter use may lead to too weak a signal causing poor S/N or too strong a signal causing clipping.
The adapter itself is passive and just connects straight through. I'd rather solder TRS plugs to the cable directly, but still, it's just straight through. Devices don't assume anything, this is not an intelligent USB connector. It's just an analog plug. It's important to only connect devices that have the correct input and output voltages and levels. It doesn't matter if they're using a trs plug or an XLR connector or whatever else.
@@highks496 I have managed & maintained an auditorium PA for over 30 years, so I can tell you that device design most definitely can assume a different signal level between XLR &1/4 TRS. The two inserts can be implemented with different op-Amps. Op-amps are generally used to invert the inverted phase line, which is then summed to the in phase line for balanced noise cancelation, but the op-amps also determine the inputs sensitivity.
My current audio interface is just such an example. It has a XLR/TRS combo inputs. If an XLR connector is plugged in, the interface has higher gain rang than when a TRS is plugged in. That's because the design expects XLR to be mic level & TRS to be line level. Not all, but many audio devices are built this way. I have used PA gear that does this as well & depending on the implementation, the wrong connector can either get a lot of buzzing noise or a very weak signal which has to boosted a lot more, which gives a worse S/N result.
It's just something to be aware of because not all gear is built the same & besides the feature can be used to advantage to enhance or supress gain appropriately.
@@kenwebster5053 Yes of course, combo inputs are wired for mic over xlr and line over trs. That is normal on a lot of mixing consoles.
What I meant was that using a TRS connector doesn't automatically mean it has to be line level (like in this case). It's just a connector, and it can be used for mic level. That's why I said you should look up the specs of the device and only connect it to matching ports/devices.
Another example for totally different uses of TRS plugs would be headphones and aux send/returns. One is stereo out and the other is two-way mono non-symmetrical. If you just plug in a line level signal into one of these because it uses the same plug, you can probably destroy your console. Never assume that it's the correct signal just because it uses the same plug.
Obvious & basic points.
Are you going to review the Topping DX3 Pro+?
Can all outputs be used at once?
how E50 compares to E30 and how E50/L50 combo compares to E30/L30? Is it step up in sound quality or features?
Topping D10 Balanced also has the dual mono 6.35mm connection, so E50 isn't the first one that does this.
Dónde puedo conseguir los adaptadores de 6.35 balanceado a XLR ?
man that bass!
How does e50 compare with Allo revolution DAC with Allo Shanti?
Nicely described. I should have listened more carefully. As you say the bass was present but I found it indistinct & boomy while the treble was shrill. Power was a 30000ma powerbank so noise free. The DX3 Pro+ sounded better to my ears with my test set up (Pioneer pd7300 into coax to Audiolab 6000a, Magnat towers & twin subs) However the Bluetooth on that didn't work on my phone!! They've both gone back for a refund.... ; )
Powerabnk is not noise free as there is a dc/dc voltage booster from 3-4.2V accu to 5V output.
Well man, I just paired an E50 with an SMSL DA-9, I am a beginner into audiophile listening; I paired them with a K. RP400M and with a Polk sub DSW660, it just sounds amazing. Let me congratulate you on your reviews, you definately transmit the words that makes us understand what you mean.
I do have a pair of KEF Q350 with a Yamaha RXv6a receiver with the same sub, different sound signature, I enjoy both, but this Yamaha receiver does not need a DAC or does it? thank you.
Great work!
Necesita un amplificador externo para alimentar esos parlantes pasivos?
Which adapter did you end up using? I didnt know which adapter to get so I just bought an TRS to XLR cable by Oyaide
I used some cheap ones from AliExpress attached to my Nordost Blue XLR cable. But your solution is better. 🙂
Thanks for the review! I’ve watched your L50 one as well along with the A30 Pro.
I’m trying to decide between E50/L50 stack or SU-9n/A30 Pro stack. Both are on sale on Shenzhenaudio at the moment for the 11/11 sale. E50/L50 (with TRS cables) can be had for $457 while SU-9n/A30 Pro (with XLR cables) can be had for $638 (or $181 more). Measurements seem to indicate TOTL performance across both stacks. I’ll be using them with HD800S (using Harman EQ) and Arya. Do you think the SU-9n/A30 Pro is worth the extra $181?
Topping makes a linear power supply in the p50 for $130 that can be used to power this dac.
So does it support MQA? Just kidding bro 😎, great review as always. Thank!👍
Hello Slboljub, thanks for your excellent review as always. You reviewed the Orchard Audio Pecan Pi in your previous video. When you had to choose between the E50 and the Pecan Pi, which one would you prefer only based on sound experience?
I think that my own taste leans slightly towards PecanPi.
Thanks again for your quick response and I appreciate your work
I'm the owner of Marantz na6006 streamer, but maybe I'm thinking of changing it for Topping E50 in combination with Mac Mini Late 2012 (with Audirvana) or Pi with Allo digi one. Not sure how this DAC works with integrated amp (HK 990) and bookshelf speakers? Should I get some more compare it to the Marantz?
I've heard NA6006 only briefly in another system so can't compare it directly to E50. It sounded good in that system with a Marantz amp and Q Acoustics 3020i speakers.
Kindly review S.M.S.L M300 MKII, I've seen interesting spec.!
Great review! I like your structured style a lot! I have a question, if you don't mind?
Based on your review and demo the E30 is a very analytical and "dry" DAC with a wide soundstage. Is the E50 as analytical and wide-staged as the E30? I am using a Denon amp with a warm sound and a dragonfly black. It is very important for me to have an analytical, detailed, wide, open and quick sound and to be able to distinguish the instruments in a song/orchestral piece.
Should I take the E50 or the E30?
Btw: Would be great if you could make a comparison video with the E50. The E30-one was great!
Thanks! E50 has the same wide and analytical nature but with even more dynamics and richer tone timbre. E30 sounds flat in comparison. So I would say E50 is clearly better then E30 in my opinion.
@@iiWiReviews Thanks for the answer !
Hello, thanks for this review and comparison. I remember when you reviewed the DH80s, you had to go up to a Topping D30 Pro/A30 Pro stack to get something noticeably better. Since the E50 doesn't quite beat the D30 Pro either, I'm very curious how the DH80s compares to E50 + amp. I know its a different form factor and different set of features, but I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on the DH80s. I'm guessing a E50+L50 stack would probably be better, but if it's not that significant I'd be happy with a DH80s.
If headphones are sensitive and low in impedance (for example Verum 1) then it would be a fair fight. Stack would push ahead for power hungry models, especially high-impedance ones that need high voltages to sound alive (for example Sennheiser HD650).
@@iiWiReviews
Got it. My roadmap just got clearer. I do plan on staying another year or two within the IEM world, before venturing into full-size headphones and higher impedances. I will get there eventually, but its all about the journey. Thanks!
I upgraded my E30 to an E50. I mainly wanted a new box, but the difference is very audible. I'm sticking with it until I get an R2R dac.
Do you think the E50 DAC would be any better than the built in DAC in the Bluesound Node 2021 version?
Can't say for 2021 version because I haven't tried it. It was clearly better than the one in Node 2i.
Good review. On a sidenote, there is no cleaner power, please dont fall for that scam. There is only "more" power for h-amps. If you really, really believe so, get a 5V brick certified for medical purposes (less HF). Still alot cheaper.
nice review, would you compared E50 vs ifi zen dac2? which one is better or ifi zen one signature. thanks.
I didn't have a chance to try these two, just original Zen... And E50 is clearly better than it, but that doesn't say much for V2 or Signature.
Hi!
Your channel is awesome, and My favorite audio channel.
Question:
This Topping or ProJect PreBox S2 Digital the better sound?
Thanks!
I think E50, especially because of S2 problems with USB connector and display that were never fixed as far as my knowledge goes.
@@iiWiReviews
Big thanks from Hungary!
I need some guidance. I recently got the combo stack and for some reason I'm not seeing the 768kHz option in my playback settings...Only seeing up to 300ish something. I really don't need it but if I paid for it guess I'm just hoping it works. Any help would be great as I'm a complete noob when it comes to this audio world 🌎
That's simply because most players and operating systems don't support such high sample rates... And there is no real music material in that rate anyway. You can only do up-sampling with some players such as HQ player, but it has to be in exclusive mode (overriding Windows OS that can't support anything higher than 384). Don't know how all that works with Mac OS...
@@iiWiReviews I really do appreciate the reply man, your response puts my mind at ease lol. Another question I had is whether to put the dac in dac or change it to Pre amp in the settings? Currently only running my DT 1990's thru the L50 but plan on getting some monitor speakers later down if that makes a difference.
I already have a 5V linear power supply. Should I get the E50 or the SMSL SU-9n?
I would personally rather go for E50 in that case.
hi, i can hear pops or crack like sounds on my topping e50. what could you think be wrong? my power supply from a phone charger?or the need to upgrade my cables? rca . please comment
First of all check the player settings, especially Output (Wasapi, DirectSound, Asio). If any of these is set in a push mode, switch to pull mode. Also try different player... I'm saying this because it looks like driver/software issue to me. So try tinkering with that first.
It might also be a loose connection, so trying a different cable is also a good idea.
Btw there is no review article for Topping E50 on your website.
Hello, I bought the Topping E50, excellent bass and mids, but the sound is very compressed, as if a compressor treshold was activated, there is no spatiality, the cymbals or snare drums are stopped as if the sound does not continue. My pc's headphone jack audio does not have these defects, the difference is very noticeable. Can you give me some advice? Thanks.
Hm, don't know what's going on there. I suppose you set everything right, and connected it too. Can't diagnose what's happening like this from afar. Have you ever before used an external DAC and did it have similar problems?
@@iiWiReviews Thanks for the reply. This is my first time using an external DAC. I also changed the power supply and usb cable, but only the background noise and other interference improved, not the strong sound compression. Maybe it's just my E50 that's having problems.
If you can find any audiophile fellow nearby and compare DACs with him, that would be a great way to find if something is wrong with the DAC itself or problem lies elsewhere (in that case it would manifest with that other DAC too).
Topping DACs are slightly on the analytical side of things but E50 in particular didn't sound compressed in any way and since this is a first complaint about this, I'm really puzzled what's happening.
@@iiWiReviews Hello, after several tests I finally discovered the problem. I changed usb cables, power supplies and rca cables to the E50, but the real problem was a bad quality rca / jack cable plugged into my pc's headphone output. This cable, connected to an input of my amplifier, generated a strange electrical problem (ground loop I think) that even entered inside the motherboard, busting the USB ports and degrading the signal. Incredible. Since I removed the problematic cable, the sound of the E50 is perfect, dynamics, detail, balance, all beautiful. I then discovered that the internal sound card of the pc, connected to the amplifier, produced strange effects, amplification of certain frequencies, volume changes, zero dynamics, terrible. The E50 is like a Ferrari in comparison. Thank you very much for the support. Have a good day.
@@guitarbuilding Well that's great to hear, and I'm very happy that you discovered the reason behind the weird sound. Most people would return it after a few days and complain about fake reviews. 😄 Enjoy it!
There is two versions of the Topping E50. You can get the version of the E50 that supports MQA, as shown here. Or you can get the "light version", which has all the same features, except no MQA support, for $50 less 😀

Ares II has the biggest soundstage but lower level of deteil retrieval. In my opinion Topping E70 velvet offers better mix of everything - big enough soundstage, great tonality, great deteil retrieval.
E50 is decent but can't match these other two. It sounds flater both in terms of soundstaging and with dynamics.
I would personally go for E70 velvet in this case.
Loved your recomendation of Nenad Vlasic. Always learn somthing with your reviews
I bought the Topping E50 and compared it to my Schiit Modi Multibit, the Schiiit wins hands down! The tonality and texture of the of the Schiit is fleshed out which gives it more musicality and realism. The E50 may win in dynamics and bass slam but beyond that it sounds flat and 2 dimensional. My two cents!
Once you fall in love with R2R design, you can rarely go back to Sigma Delta chips. For that same reason I kept my Multibit for a long time and switched only after trying Ares II.
Always wanted to hear the modi mutibit, but never heard many reviews on it.
Glad you like it.
Are you going to keep the E50 ?
@@deadline7610 No, I sold it. The E50 may have bells and whistles but when it comes to sound quality I was not impressed. The Modi Multibit sounds more like real music and great for 2 channel video...of course it is my opinion!
Is it better than Topping D30 DAC?
Can E50 work with Volumio on Pi4 to listen to Mqa as full decoder? That was the problem with E30, as Volumio Is not a core decoder one just listens to 44.1 khz only
you can listen to mqa using rapsberry pi 4 but if you connect via usb. I tested it works very well.
Thank you for great review, what is that metal cylinder on top of your LS50 in the back?
Just a weighty steel door stopper. It does nice things for some speakers but not for all... KEF R3 for example doesn't care much if weighed down or not.
