Topping P50 power supply, + Zen Streamer + Topping E50 DAC

I am using a Topping P50 power supply which has both a 15 volt and 5 volt linear DC output. https://www.topping.audio/productinfo/398304.html

It works great to supply 15 volts to a Zen Streamer and 5 volts to Topping E50 DAC for my budget system.

When I connected the Steam (no FMC’s) the Stream Led would light up but would not function. When I plugged the stock power plug in the Stream it worked perfectly. Really liked the P 50 build quality and features and was disappointed to return the unit. This gets me thinking it was defective and that I should give a new returnable one a try. Thanks for this thread! Enjoy the music.

The open box one must have been defective. Glad I gave it a second try it is a nice improvement over stock plug.

Use DC 5.5/2.1 cable (not sure one is included) plugged into the 15v plug on back of P50 and then into back of Zen Stream. Ditch the Zen Stream’s stock wall plug. I also use the 2- 5v usb plugs to power my 2 optical FMC boxes for optical isolation.
