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

Sure enough…I bought a new Topping P50 and it works perfectly with my Zen Stream.  The open box one must have been defective.  Glad I gave it a second try it is a nice improvement over stock plug.

My only goal with this post is to show this combination worked for me. I can’t comment on if the P50 made a sonic difference with the Zen Streamer since I have used the P50 with it since I received the Zen. 

Interesting…I purchased an open box (like new) Topping P 50 for my Zen Stream and 2 FMC’s.  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.

To be expected, glad it worked out.

Nice, was not sure where this was going.  🤔

Speakers are Fyne 500 SP each powered by a Schitt Aegir running in mono fed by a Schitt Freya+ connected to Aegirs with balanced cables I made myself from Belden microphone cable and Neutrik connectors. Each amp is connected with a 3 foot run of Monoprice "Monolith" 12 Ga. cables in a bi-wire configuration and also grounded to a star ground system since Fyne's have ground points.

Fynes are supported by NHT crossover with stereo NHT U1 subs driven by Outlaw Audio Model 220’s crossing over at around 80 Hz.

What kind of speakers do you have? This is really good stuff for a budget system and definitely punches above its price point. A good power supply makes a substantial difference. I use sonicTransporter i5 to run the Roon core server. Recently added SGC’s power supply and the results are quite impressive. 
 

Congratulations!

Okay?.
