Your first Reference DAC to beat (Topping D50)

*Your First Reference DAC to Beat (D50)*

📄 Description

Is the *Topping D50 III* the first reference DAC to beat*? In this video, I compare it directly to the earlier **Topping D50s* and explore how it performs across different HiFi systems.

I dive into *synergy and pairing* with my *Line Magnetic LM34ia tube amp**, the **Schiit Freya+ tube preamp**, and the **Fosi Audio GR70 hybrid amplifier* to see how the D50 III adapts to different setups. Along the way, I explain what makes a DAC “reference-grade” and whether the D50 series still sets the benchmark for budget and mid-tier HiFi in 2025.

🎶 *In This Video You’ll See:*
