While I want an A50S just to complete my D50S/P50 stack, is there much/any meaningful difference coming from an Atom? I'm currently using DT1990PRO
Gald you value 50mV SINAD. And indeed they are about the same. However it needs to be informed that L30 and A50s surpassed the noise performance of APx555. True 50mV SINAD is 104dB-105dB for both.Same 50mv SINAD for both, so save the money and get the L30
If you find no faults with Atom, I would say no.While I want an A50S just to complete my D50S/P50 stack, is there much/any meaningful difference coming from an Atom? I'm currently using DT1990PRO
If someone improve the power supply noise can this always contribute to the output stage ?You still have the P50 right? Would be great to let people know the real difference with different supply. Would be great to also have FFT with 50mV output. Thanks in advance.

It seems you talk from experience @JohnYang1997. Why don't you post it instead if it's not much of a hassle? I, personally, do trust you.You still have the P50 right?

Less leakage current, probably less (grounding) noise. Would be cool if @amirm could verify. But in any case, it doesn't look like there's any audible issues with stock supply whatsoever.It seems you talk from experience @JohnYang1997.

That is the part I'd like to see Topping improve on. Is the A50s using the same part as the A90?Or you can just think of it as we simply have better pots.
This is different. This is leakage current of SMPS. It has the effect on the input ground hence it's not removed by the PSRR(power supply rejection ratio). Transformers usually have lower leakage current. Hence it's better. L30 is probably the best on the market in this regard. There are ways to eliminate the leakage current for SMPS. Another low capacitive coupling DC-DC isolated SMPS after the first SMPS solves the issue. But these isolated SMPS are small in power and mostly expensive. It requires a lot of space to parallel to solve the issue. Not practical.If someone improve the power supply noise can this always contribute to the output stage ?
What is the impact of leakage current with A50s compared to A90? You said that it is not recommended to use A90 without a ground connection because of building up leakage current. However, not all apartments have grounded outlets. Is A90 still usable in such an environment?This is different. This is leakage current of SMPS.

Usable but I won't exactly call it safe. If your apartments don't have grounded outlets just don't buy A90. This is my recommendation. You sure can choose to use it but I won't be responsible for giving a potentially dangerous advice.What is the impact of leakage current with A50s compared to A90?

Is the concern here more like personal or equipment damage?Usable but I won't exactly call it safe.
Is it already decided what production unit A30 Pro will be using?This is different. This is leakage current of SMPS.

SMPS + virtual ground + earth ground. It's a more practical than the proposed solution. But the idea is that it's only to reduce supply noise with RCA in. With XLR in there's no such issues.Is it already decided what production unit A30 Pro will be using?

Soncoz, Matrix - ok.I think the Topping E30 and L30 have fantastic industrial design, as do the Soncoz SGD1, Matrix X-Sabre Pro, and really most SMSL products. Sure, some “Chi-fi” is of the “form follows function” variety—to be kind—but there are almost as many examples that ooze class.
Soncoz, Matrix - ok.
Topping, SMSL - not to my taste.
I can name Lumin as one more Chinese company that has pretty good industrial design, but in general most low-cost products look pretty bad (multiple fonts, ugly LEDs and so on).
That’s true—like xDuoo, etc.Also their brand names are strange words.
