Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"


This low-priced DAC measures spectacularly and has the latest ESS Sabre DACs. Has anyone listened to it versus the "High-priced spreads"?

Yes I own one and think its a steal......WOW biased against it??


Virtually all the bad 13 reviews you reference are from 2013 - 2107 with but 1 in 2018.....I had forgotten but researched it again the D%) as currently sold was released in March of 2018.....thus all the 2013, 2014 201 etc reviews that bother you are NOT relevant to this current unit....have a good day anyway.....  http://www.tpdz.net/news_detail/newsId=79.html
Typo above meant D50 - another review just after release in March 2018 -  https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-topping-d50-dac.2403/ - again whatever Amazon was calling a D50 back then was not the current unit - also 2 of the bad reviews are referencing SMSL Model 8 so they have the wrong unit completely...misposted

Geee - you falsely dump on a product - greatly exaggerate the "defect" rate (on some other unknown units) and just cry uncle????  Fantastic.....Luv the logic
