[EU] AUNE X7S vs Topping A50

Hey guys, currently I’m building my audio setup. At first as headphone AMP i wanted to order Topping A50 but it isn’t available in Poland and also I do not really want to wait few weeks so I started to looking and I’ve found AUNE X7S which looks very promising. I know it’s kinda different price range but if it would be worth I can stretch a little bit.

Headphones I’ll use: DT 1990 pro
DAC: most probably Topping D50s

Thanks for your help in advance

Hmmm, well if I had to pick between the two, I would go a50, as imo it performs better single ended than the aune, and with the 1990 being only single ended, you can’t really take advantage of the x7s

If you don’t need the balanced out? then maybe a Magni 3+?

Kinda what I would also say tbh. That or a liquid spark if you wanted something to warm it up a bit and smooth out the treble a tad

Wow, You are really fast!

Unfortunately liquid spark will be available in EU shop in next 2-3 months :confused:

Importing JDS Labs Atom from US will be similar cost as if I would buy Topping A30

And about Magni 3+: for better understanding - should I get this as an alternative choice for Topping A30 or simply over A30?

I would personally get it over the a30 from my experiences with it, it’s pretty sweet

oh, my mistake! I wanted to ask about A50 (like in topic), not A30

So I would say that they might be a bit similar with the 1990, my preference tends to lean towards the 3+, but that being said if you are going for a d50s, the a50 would be a nice matching stack

Powerfull is the A50 not really only 100 mW is little.
