Best praise vs top criticism for Topping E50
Best Praise
+5 pts“I was about to buy a K9, but instead saw a topping E50 and L50 stack on sale in one of the stores here. Very very clean sound. Then I tried some of their other topping stacks, theyre all very clean sounding, only problem is, they barely sound different to each other, theyre all just really really good and clean.”

+1 pts“I have a Topping E50 DAC that I am using for my living room stereo. I could get the companion amp, but the Topping’s sound isn’t my favorite. I was also thinking about something like a Chord Mojo2?”
