Question about Powered Speaker + DAC + AMP

[14minutes]

Hello,

Now I have 'Audioengine A2+' speaker and I plan to buy a 'Topping E50' DAC to improve the sound quality of the speaker.
My question is if I buy the 'Topping E50' together with 'Topping L50' will it make differences in term of sound quality (compare to connected only 'E50' alone)?

Thank you very much!!

I'm not sure what the L50 would even do here - it's a headphone amp.

And unless you're running the A2s from something truly dire, I doubt the difference between it and the E50 would be audible.

Probably wont make a difference. Better speakers will.

What are you feeding it with now?

It is very unlikely that you would even perceive any difference.
Although the Topping DAC measurements are probably better than the Audioengine DAC would be, it unlikely the difference would be audible in this case (with the Audioengine speakers.)
And doing this would add unnecessary cables and connections and ADC (analog to digital conversion - unless you are already inputting analog to the Audioengine speaker, like from computer headphone/AUX output.)

My litter 'Cyrus Soundkey'.

Thank you everyone, I've change my mind I would go for 'Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt'. I just need a better qudio quality than my current 'Cyrus Sound Key'.

I would say don't support fraudioquest, maybe at least review this https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...balt-review-portable-headphone-adapter.23015/

JMO in any case. Better speakers would be the better route to sound quality improvements.
