I am a newcomer to this world of independent DACs. The D50s is the first standalone DAC I bought for what is starting to be my main setup and for which I will release funds for upgrades once I sell components from my living room setup which I cannot use due to the room setting and this being the main TV area hence taken during the day.
I wanted to ask if there are people in the forum who actually compared the D50/D50s with more mainstream names in the DAC world that charge 4-10 times more the amount (you know the names that can be cited here). Can this DAC or it's bigger relatives (D70/D90) match those?
I have the D90 in my second audio setup. The D90 has better sound quality than the D50. The D90 is also a bit more versatile.
I tried out the following DACs before I settled on the Topping D50 for my first audio system:
- SMSL M6
- Cambridge Audio Dacmagic Plus
- Topping DX3 Pro
