Ah, good to know, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the info.

Yes, you are right. My current connector is balanced on both sides, while it has to be unbalanced on the 3.5 side. However, I haven’t found a connector yet which has unbalanced on the 3.5 side. Most adverts don’t mention it specifically. It is not that important as I just use the 6.35 mm jack.

I found the solution on head-fi with the title “Topping A50S issue: shuts down on high volume???” So I use a separate 3.5 (unbalanced) to 4.4 mm (balanced) connector for the headphones, but something goes wrong internally there. I get the issue when the 3.5 mm connector of the headphone is fully...

Using unbalanced output gives plenty of juice, also at 0.0 dB setting, but balanced is a pita. The SPL is even less than the PC’s output jack.

Hmm, but the output is related to that, because I still have the same issue when I put up the volume. The volume knob can’t be moved further than half way at -20dB, which is the same SPL as directly from the mini PC’s output jack. Any thoughts?

So that’s it The output signal of the D50 was too high. It was set to 0.0 dB, now changed to -20.0 dB and it’s fine. Apparently not used to work with DAC’s..

One addition, when I do the test in windows (system - sound - properties) the A50 clicks immediately, so the issue is fed by the DAC. To be continued..

Hi all, I have received the A50 III - D50 III combo last week and there is a weird problem, which I couldn’t figure out yet. The D50 is connected to an Asus NUC via thunderbolt and the D50 to the A50 via balanced. I use a Sennheiser HD580. Depending on the music I play, the A50 is frequently...
