Our take
For those of you new to this, here's a pretty good DAC 101 article. In layman's terms, a DAC simply converts digitally stored information (stream of 1s and 0s) from a smartphone, laptop computer into an analog sound that we can hear.
Many devices include built-in DACs. However, an outboard/ external DAC usually offers better sound quality by minimizing jitter problems, background hiss and unwanted noise.
Now, here's a DAC that has won over many audio enthusiasts for its exceptional value (sound quality) for money.
"One of our favorite DACs has grown up and become even better. The D50s solidly eliminates the ESS IMD hump, adds the much needed remote control and Bluetooth without a premium in pricing. It makes great pairing with such headphone amplifiers at JDS Labs Atom being roughly equal in size and looks.
It is a pleasure to see Topping continue to deliver well-engineered audio products without exception. Using proper measurements allows them to verify and refine the design before we get our hands on. Needless to say, I am happy to recommend the Topping D50s." amirm

Product details
The much-anticipated sequel to the popular Topping D50 DAC is here. The Topping D50s brings users improved sound quality with a wider array of connectivity options. Outfitted with dual ESS ES9038Q2M DACs with excellent THD+N levels, high accuracy, and impressive leading dynamic range, the D50s improves sound across all frequencies and volumes.
It also does away with the “ESS IMD hump:” a slight rise in intermodulation distortion (IMD) that sometimes occurs when ESS DACs are played at mid levels. Added Bluetooth connectivity allows users to stream from phones or other Bluetooth-enabled devices, while the onboard XU208 USB interface enables improved support for DSD native. Connect in more ways with inputs for USB, coaxial, and optical, as well as support for Android, Windows, iOS, and Mac OS X.
Add to your personal audio system with the well-regarded A50 headphone amp, the P50 linear power supply for extra power to the system, or a PA3 power amp for passive speakers.
Package:
1 x Bluetooth antenna
1 x DC cable
