Topping D50 III & A50 III Review

The agility of the D50 III really stood out during my listening sessions, making it feel like it has excellent control over the frequency spectrum, especially in complex genres. Whether I was listening to fast-paced heavy metal tracks or instrumental pieces, the D50 III impressed me. The D50 III punches well above its weight.

I have a D90 III Discrete sitting next to it, which is undoubtedly a more refined and resolving DAC; the D50 III still holds its ground. While the D90 has clear advantages in terms of depth, tonal realism, and overall resolution, the D50 III gives you around 80% of the D90’s performance at a fraction of the cost (around 20% of the D90’s price). This is hard to ignore, especially for the budget audiophile.
