Hello,
long time lurker here
I am thinking about buying a P50 for my, soon to be, topping 50s stack (D50s+A50s). Not for the audio benefits (I have read Amirms post) but for the added convenience.
Currently I own a D50s and a Schiit Magni3 while waiting for the release (and measurements ) of the A50s.
At the moment I am running my D50s form an old usb-charger and the Magni from the included power brick. All plugged into the same extension cable as my PC, Display and some other "wall-wart" power supplies.
I plan to power my D50s and A50s with the P50. While the P50 will be powered from the same extension cable as before.
I know there probably won't be any audible benefits with the P50 but my question is, could I accidentally make it worse?
Could I create new problems by using this setup?
As far as I understand the DAC, AMP and everything else on the extension cable will be grounded together.
And the comment from JohnYang1997 here
TL;DR:
A topping P50 probably won't improve my audio but can it make it worse?

makes it sound like I could mess up several things.Now it's a complicated issue. The p50 grounds the output ground to earth. So i don't recommend using it without being conscious about the grounding of your signal chain.
