Redesigned NFCA Amplification Circuit
Topping has redesigned the NFCA Circuit for the latest L50 headphone amplifier. It is based on the same working principle as the A30 Pro and is capable of providing twice the power of L30 at 300Ω impedance. It is optimized to deliver clean high-quality amplification to the audio signal while maintaining ultra-low distortion and high SNR, Dynamic range ratings. Topping L50 achieves 0.3uV ultra-low noise and 145 dB high dynamic range as well as 0.00006% THD+N ratings.
Pair Your Demanding As Well As Highly Sensitive Headphones With Topping L50
With the help of a three-level gain switch, users can easily use their sensitive as well as demanding headphones with the Topping L50. The amplifier has a tremendously powerful output with ratings that goes up to 3500mW or 3.5W at 16Ω. Even at 600Ω, the L50 outputs up to 290mW which is more than enough to bring life to your headphones. Don’t choose your next amplifier based on your headphone impedance, just choose the Topping L50, it will suit sensitive as well as demanding cans with ease. The L50 has an ultra-low output impedance of <0.1Ω, so users won’t notice any background noise or hiss even with sensitive IEMs/headphones.
