Topping E50

If I connect my Topping e50 via TRS outputs to my amplifier with RCA input, could this be harmful? Thank you.

Yes! Don't do it!
This is from the Topping website:

Please note that the TRS output does not convert to single ended, nor can it be directly connected to headphones.

TRS to RCA cables converts quite well, it works fine if you need another output.
I used it several times without hassle.

You'll get increased noise, distortion, and DC offset with an adapter:

It looks (in my case) ,that the onboard switching power supply + 5.65V / -5.6V, which supplies the output analog circuits (3 OA) behind the DAC, fails / does not start ..). That PSU is powered from 5V inputs. The all other onboard sources (3.3V, 1.2V, 1V) start up normally, they are linear (not...

At the very least, you should double check that the adapter is not shorting the 1/4" tip or ring to GND.

A basic multimeter is enough.

Good morning, so I only need to connect the tip and the sleeve.

That's the least bad method of passively adapting TRS to RCA

Again, what’s wrong with the SE output? Already used for another purpose?
