If you can extend a little, wait for Topping EX5 with MQA. Topping m50s, SMSL M300 MK II, SMSL M200 are good too.

I mean Topping E50 instead of EX5, D50s instead of m50s. Sorry for the typo.

Is Topping E50 Chinese brand ?

iFi Zen DAC 2 is also good and adds a decent headphone amp along with MQA. Only down side is it's only USB, No Optical/Coaxial.

Not heard both but personally if these were the only two options I would choose schiit.

See if you can get something used for your budget.
Would be better bang for buck then a new one

Schitt has closed indian business through Headphone Zone.

Schiit still has HPZ listed as their Indian retailer. Either they are asleep or it is the same old issue with parts not available, that they had mentioned earlier. Anyway, I have written to Schiit to understand why it is a graveyard on HPZ under their catalogue or is there someone else going to take over as the Indian dealer.

Got a reply from Schiit, they are facing parts shortage, due the pandemic and all. They are only able to keep inventory locally as of now and hence their dealers have not been given new stock. They do not know when they will be able to overcome this, let us hope for the best.

have used the following DACs in the past 1.5 years which might prove helpful to make a decision:


- Schiit Modi Uber 2 (overall good , nothing extraordinary for the price , however extremely poor USB performance. ) - now sold
- Topping E50 ( much better than Modi, with crystal clear top end specially for those who prefer that sparkling sound , better USB performance ) - now sold
- ifi Zen Dac One Signature (brilliant DAC , to my ears it’s as good as , if not better in some respects , than Denafrips Ares 2 which costs 3x the price- and which I’ve listened to myself ) - currently using
