Just watched on Topping Facebook page. No specs available, just pictures.

Lets all leave comments on FB asking them to send them out for measurements on the big review sites like ASR. Topping usually isn't too far off the stated specs, but a lot better to have them independently verified.

D50 III has a ten band parametric EQ for the USB input. A badly needed feature and a first for a Topping DAC.

I just placed an order for the the amp and DAC with the AliExpress sale going til the 27th. Will do a full writeup on it when they arrive in maybe 7-10 days. I added something to activate the $80 off coupon plus a ton of coins and 3 percent cash back card it got the price way down. Can't wait to try the equalizer, and it's a 5 volt DAC so going to check temps when it's running.

Thanks for the heads-up. Topping always have some nice specs, looking forward to laying my hands on one.

Just a heads up. The volume knob is tiny, which I guess makes sense since the device itself is very compact. But they could have made the volume knob a bit longer so it's easier to grab.

But then they put the balanced output right next to it too.

I was using an XLR to 4.4 TRRRS so that's why it looks bulky. I'll probably find a replacement cable for my DCAs.

But it's still very hard to use even without the cable obstruction. And the volume knob is slippery.

I feel like I'm going to have to do after-market volume knob replacement.

For reference the volume knob is 7mm (0.27") in length and 1.6cm (0.6") in diameter.

Compare that to the DX5's 14mm (0.5") length and 28mm (1.1") in diameter.

It has incredible power even on low gain mode. Not going to do a full review of it since I just got it in my hands.
