Topping Dacs D-50, DX-7, and DX7s


These things are dirt cheap and getting some hyped up talk. Can change the filtering ect ect and uses the top Sabre dac chip, not pro.

Yep, I think it was around 2012 when I starting getting in these affordable highenders, removed the chassis, and said to myself "it won't be long now". Important thread George!!

You guys think it’s better than the Modi Multibit? They don’t indicate if the 5v power supply is included and no mention of how many amps.

It’s got almost the top ESS dac’s one for each channel I believe, someone said this,
"D50 and D7s use 2 x ES9038Q2M - ie one chip for each channel."

But as far as doing Redbook goes, I’m for Multibit still, but if you want to do DSD then this is hard to pass up, especially on Massdrop for $199 when they appear, I say now you'll need a trigger finger on the buy now button.

@kalali.
Pretty sure the article references having to supply your own power supply, not a great hardship as that way you can invest in a halfway decent ps not the usual cheap walwart. Or USB power is suggested will work too.

For the price it looks like a clear winner!
I'm tempted to buy one and put it downstream of my Node2 and see how it sounds. It might even be worth getting an LPS but like I'd need the amper rating on the power supply to get the right one.
The charging plug seems to take a charger like the one came with my Chromcast Audio.
