Why it Sounds Amazing
DAC Chip
Know the secret to your pristine audio.

If you see products marked as “⚙️ DAC Chip”, expect to experience your music with unparalleled clarity, detail, and fidelity, ensuring that every note and nuance is faithfully reproduced for your listening pleasure.
Sampling Rate And Bit Depth
Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?
The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.
Sampling Rate:
Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.
Bit Depth:
Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.
DESCRIPTION
EQUIPPED WITH THE ES9068AS CHIP FOR THE HI-RES QUALITY AUDIO TRANSMISSION
Topping E50 is the company’s latest desktop DAC in their “E Series” line of products. The E50 comes as a direct upgrade to the highly-acclaimed Topping E30 DAC system with added improvements in every aspect.

Customer Reviews
E50 is perfect for my needs. I have paired it with Topping PA 5 II amplifier to power my speakers and both of them work in tandem to give me a awesome music and gaming experience. I have connected my XBOX and mac mini to the E50 and I can switch to either inputs just on a simple tap! Thanks to Ian from Headphone zone for helping me arrive at this selection. A very happy customer indeed!
Hi there! Thank you so much for leaving a review for Topping E50.
Great inputs and outputs
I use optical input from my Sony TV and in DAC mode it gives clear and crystal clear output through RCA cable to my marantz amplifier. When I connect mobile phone via USB cable the output is much better clarity.Best DAC by Topping.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback on the Topping - E50 DAC!
To my ears, I, feel that this DAC is making the low end sound much tighter and clearer. Even instrument separation seems very clear.
Hey there, thank you for the great review and ratings! So delighted that you are loving your purchase. Hope you had a comfortable shopping experience. Cheers!
The DAC worked fine OOB. The bumps (foot) on the base of the DAC are big enough to not block the vents in your amplifier if you use 10cm AUX cables and need to seat the DAC on top of you amp. Before playing music, go to the Topping website (www.tpdz.net) and download the latest drivers and check if you have the latest firmware. The driver download ZIP file also has PDFs with detailed information how to setup DSD playback in JRiver and Foobar2000. How the DAC sounds and similar information can be found widely on the internet (like Amir's review in Audio Science Review website).
Hey Sumit, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.
I am using the Topping E50 on my speaker chain in DAC mode. My chain is firestick -->Audio extractor optical out -->Optical in Topping E50 RCA out --> Tube preamp-->RCA in Rega IO -->Klipsch RP 600M. Streaming music via Spotify connect. I have been using the setup with other dacs for some quite sometime but without the firestick streaming (which I did recently as it was lying around and I wanted to try it as a streamer). I reached out to headphone zone with my requirement of optical in and RCA out and my speaker config Mr Danesh helped me out in selecting Topping E50 DAC, Thanks. I am very happy with its sound output. It has a neutral sound and very good instrument separation, detailed which helps me as the Klipsch's are slightly bright speakers to further mellow out the sound to my liking I have a tube preamp and Rega IO in the chain. As I am not using the balanced outs cannot comment on them.
TOPPING - E50
Hey there, thank you for the awesome ratings!
I have used E30 previously and it's a very good DAC for Price to performance ratio. Recently I borrowed an E50 for testing purposes and I was blown away by the performance.
Best thing about this device is it supports multiple inputs, so it can be plugged to a Headphone, TV via optical, or PC via USB. It has a PreAmp functionality by which volume can be controlled via remote control but I would not recommend this feature. By default the device comes with PreAmp mode(m-p). You need to change it to Dac Mode(m-d). User manual is very detailed and very easy to reset the functionality.
Coming to performance the E50 sounds neutral and clean to my ears. This DAC is precise and accurate and doesn't emulate the source content. Sound separation is brilliant and it also improves mids, lows and stage sound. I was using E30 and integrated DAC from my amplifier. When I connected E50 to my setup, it just changed the dynamics instantly. It can easily outperform other expensive Dacs which are priced 2x - 3x. Power Adapter is not included so you need to buy it separately.
I bought 2 Dacs and the price was 17,999 during the sale. In fact if you buy it from the USA or outside it will be expensive. Thank you headphone zone for getting this awesome product.
My setups are
Sony TV -> Monster BLSS Light speed Optical -> Topping E50 -> mogami neglex 2549 cables -> Denon 800ne - > Wireworld horizon speaker cable -> Mission LX-3 MKII Bookshelf Speakers
Samsung TV -> Monster BLSS Light speed Optical -> Topping E50 -> mogami neglex 2549 cables -> Marantz PM6007 -> Wireworld horizon speaker cable -> Fyne Audio F302 Floor standing speakers

This is a clean and detailed little beauty DAC at this price point. Very warm neutral side of the music with detailed treble yet not sharp at the edges, clear and smooth midrange with punchy bass performance. Ideal for long listening sessions.
I also own a Gustard X26 Pro and topping performs 70% of this high end DAC in my stereo setup at a very less price.
When compare to my Chord Mojo in a stereo set up, the imaging and sound stage is better than Mojo and instrument separation in on par.
Over all its a solid little DAC punching way above its weight with performance vs price ratio.
Its an awesome bargain price from Christmas Sale clubbed with Club Audiophile points.
Kudos to Headphone Zone team !!!!
