The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.
However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Topping A Series A50 III puts high-quality headphone amplification directly on your desktop, delivering clean and powerful audio for solo listening—all at an attractive price point. It features the same NFCA (Nested Feedback Composite Amplifier) technology originally used in the flagship A90D Headphone Amplifier, which is a module designed to deliver ultra-low noise levels (0.3uVrms) and a high dynamic range of 144dB, making it ideal for both low- and high-impedance headphones.
With both balanced 4.4mm and single-ended 6.35mm headphone outputs, as well as RCA and TRS balanced inputs, the A50 III gives you flexible connectivity options. It also features three-stage gain selection, compared to the A50S' two. These are low, medium, and high, letting you match the amplifier's output to your headphones' needs. Whether you're using sensitive in-ear monitors or power-hungry planar magnetic headphones, you can adjust the gain to achieve improved performance without unwanted noise or distortion.
With a CNC-machined aluminium chassis, the A50 III offers excellent electromagnetic shielding and a sleek build that fits neatly into any setup. Its 3500mW balanced outputs provide plenty of headroom for demanding headphones, while the 12V trigger input allows it to power on and off in sync with other compatible devices, such as its recommended pairing, the Topping D50 III DAC. This makes it a convenient and powerful choice for both desktop and high-fidelity setups.
