How much power does it actually take?The only complaints I’ve seen regarding powering the M50 is that it’s behaviour is rather flaky when the delivered voltage is below 5V (i.e., in spite of the specifications for 5V USB power is 4.75-5.25V). Otherwise, no complaints…
Edit… better power supplies are available for those with tastes…

Can I ask why you sold it?I’ve sold mine,
Can I ask why you sold it?
Is it not so convenient in day to day use ?
I`m using Daphile system at this point. It`s great but it is a PC . I`m just looking for something equally convenient but smaller, less power consuming ect.if you’re into JRiver or accessing your music via DLNA…

All my music is stored on HDD so I don`t have need for any network access.
Strongly hope you would fully enjoy your M50.Hi all, I've bought the final stage for my rig these days, the Topping M50, a little underrated wonder if you ask me. I believe the only English review on YouTube is by Zeos. In a nutshell, is a pure digital interface for all your music. It is a USB / Bluetooth bridge with IIS / USB / optical/coaxial out and OTG, DLNA, and Airplay capabilities. The OTG works with my 5Tb external HDD and 1Tb microSD even if Topping states that it would work only with 4Tb external HDD and 256g GB micro SD. Long story short, the M50 could feed your music to any of your IIS / optical or coaxial-enabled devices, it has a tiny screen but most importantly it is compatible with HibyLink so your phone or tablet will do the job. Esthetically it is the last missing piece for my D50s + A50s + P50 (the last one powering all the above} i. e . my headphone rig for the Hifiman Arya and Sundara (soon to be sold). At the same time it feeds through IIS my main DAC, the Topping D70S, and brings my music into my amplifier and a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 500. End of story? Not yet. Has to buy shorter cables for the aforementioned rig, set up the DLNA through my router USB in , and have finally my music collection in order.
Man, it depends on what expectations you have. I paid 215 USD for this, works as supposed and I cannot overlook the fact that for this money Fiio offers merely a dac/bluetooth transceiver like the BTA30 Pro...Strongly hope you would fully enjoy your M50.
Honestly my experience was meh, but it's just my experience.
Never noticed any interference. I have both connection of sdcard and usb stick and never experienced any crosstalk.I read somewhere on the Head-Fi forum that the M50 was discontinued because of crosstalk occurring when playing from an SD card or external USB disk. Any of the owners here noticed or measured that?
It may not be apparent when playing a track with two channels. I will try to find a file that is panned to one side completely and find out...Never noticed any interference. I have both connection of sdcard and usb stick and never experienced any crosstalk.
I can also confirm the problem. I tested my M50 right now with Stereophile CD test through usb ssd. Detaching one channel at a time from my headphones, I can still hear what should be only on the left channel in the right channel CLEARLY, and viceversa.I can confirm the problem: playing a channel identification test (Stereophile Test CD 2) from an SD card with the M50, there is a considerable amount of crosstalk. To make sure, I detached my left speaker when the 'Left only' track was playing, and it was clearly audible in the right speaker. I will ask Topping. Does the M50 allow for firmware upgrade?
