Best praise vs top criticism for Topping D50 III
Best Praise
+6 pts“Yes, but this Topping stack is much more powerful (state of the art for its size) with saveable EQ and I can do RCA line out to my speakers as well. Many of my headphones do not have 3.5mm termination either, only 6.35mm SE or 4.4mm Balanced connections. In the case of the ATH-ADX5000 for example, there is only a 6.35mm cable, I'd have to use an adapter to connect to the Mini's 3.5mm port. Even then, its impedance is over 400 ohms.”
