Meet the New TOPPING E50 DAC and L50 Headphone Amp: Superior Sound Redefined in the Post-AKM Era

After the devastating fire that claimed the AKM factory in Japan last year, TOPPING has steadily been replacing its lineup with products that use ESS, rather than AKM, technology. Today we’re happy to announce the successors to the super popular E30 DAC and L30 headphone amp: the E50 DAC and L50 headphone amp.

These aren’t simple equivalent replacements of the E30 and L30. The L50 headphone amp features single-ended and balanced outputs, a greater span of dB in its gain levels, a pass-through mode, and other upgrades. The E50 features massive improvements in distortion levels, dynamic range, and more; it also features full MQA decoding.
