Topping E50 MQA Full DAC ES9068AS XU216 32Bit/768kHz DSD512 PCM768kHz Decoder RCA TRS Ultra Low Noise Preamp (Black)

Product Information

That's great to hear about the balanced and unbalanced working at the same time. That will make integrating the sub much easier. With ES9068AS chip and careful design, E50 provides a distortion as low as 0.00009% and a dynamic range of 126dB, providing you with perfect sound quality. This also makes E50 suitable for applications: high- fidelity PC-HIFI system, mobile phone/tablet OTG, CD player/turntable external DAC, digital broadcasting external DAC, TV DAC and so on. Coaxial and Optical(Toslink) also has good performance, they not only supports 24bit192kHz PCM, but also supports Dop DSD64 and MQA rendering. I was thinking about building a system around the Bluesound Node but I am also considering going the route of using the E50.

The same happens when I disable MQA core decoder or even if I select the device MQA capabilities as either “Decoder Only” or “Renderer Only”. Get HiFi decoding not only with the USB input but with the coax and optical as well. The E50’s coax and optical inputs support 24-bit/192kHz PCM, DSD64 (DoP), and MQA rendering. I have an SMSL DAC that is also not “recognized” by Roon in the sense that it is not Roon Tested. It shows up as an “Unidentified Device”. But Exclusive mode is a USB protocol thing, I am pretty sure, regardless of who makes the DAC. Decided to get the Volumio 15 day trial anyway. Tidal would be a bit useless without it, but fine for own collection as a music player Goals of this setup is to go more minimalist in use. My wife does not care for the AVR setup currently and gets frustrated with all the inputs that need to be juggled and I can't say I blame her.Utilisé en USB sur une installation haute-fidélité, ce simplissime DAC est parfait; neutre, dynamique, il est meilleur que son petit frère le Topping E30 qui ne suffira pas dans ce contexte. If you only need a DAC to use with powered speakers, you can skip buying an amp completely. That’s because the E50 has a preamplifier mode. WIth this mode selected, you can control the output volume with the remote control. Product highlights Ok, thanks. And is that because a) Bluesound wants it to work that way and forces it or b) that's how Tidal behaves on the Node or c) because the DAC is not actually capable of that first unfold over coax and the Node knows that so it does it. Or d) some other reason?

I am kind of thinking the same as it looks very likely to me it’s the inability of the USB port to handle MQA signal transfer. It's funny though now that I think about it. When I first got into audio it was all about more speakers and better surround sound setup. However, as I have gone through life I have actually minimized more and more and I have come to find that a stereo setup is more enjoyable daily than a multichannel one because every source has the ability to play in that format while multichannel formats are hit and miss and when watching a movie it can really take you out of the film. The E50 offers top-of-the-line decoding via USB with the XMOS XU216 2nd generation 16-core processor. It supports 32-bit/768kHz PCM, DSD512 native, and MQA full decoding. Windows 10, Max, Linux, iOS, and Android users can plug-and-play the E50 without installing drivers. Only Windows ASIO applications require a driver. The brightness of the display can be adjusted in 3 steps, and automatic ON/OFF can be selected, improving usability. Stable operation is the most important thing for me when choosing a DAC. Even if the measurement data of amirm is good, there are very few products that operate correctly according to the product SPEC.Looks like topping DACs are not the only victim, saw another Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M with similar situation. Topping E50 connected via USB directly to Roon Core as Audio Output, thereby via PCM output to Integrated Amp. I would temporarily turn off DSP just to rule it out. That’s the only spot you’re seeing a green light. Thanks for that. I can’t set the Topping in exclusive mode because it doesn’t recognize the manufacturer (it’s not on their list) - so it doesn’t even offer that option.
