The E30 is a steal when it's $100 below the asking price.

So I used an old DAC from 2010, believe it or not, USB dongle Old "Micro II" from Turtle Beach. was excited to "upgrade" to a modern DAC. The system consists of a base PC, a DAC, an Alesis RA100 studio-grade power amplifier, and Alesis Monitor One's studio-grade reference monitors. This setup was damn good. When I set up my New Topping E30, the first question was how unfriendly it is to Linux. You can get it to show the right file dates (192) IF you use the right options in your software/player

Pros
  • ♫ Easy to Use: E30 with remote control can easily select input mode, volume, etc. (no bass/treble). The touch button turns the device on (wakes it up) and also allows you to select inputs. It has an attractive appearance and design element. It has an orange LED indicator.
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Sounds terrible in preamp mode

I was interested in this product as a preamplifier for my media center which takes a Toslink signal from the TV which is converted to analogue and fed into my Crown XLS1502 amplifier driving a pair of JBL Studio 530's . not bad, but in preamp mode (the only mode with volume control) it falls apart completely. The sound is harsh and tiring to my ear. This is really frustrating because I need to be able to adjust the volume on this unit and as it sounds awful in preamp mode it's useless for any…

Pros
  • ♫ Powerful chip combination: AK4493 decoding chip, AK4418 receiver and XMOS XU208 chip for E30 DAC. Latest version 2004+ with non-reverse polarity.
Cons
  • Available in white only

Updated Test: Sounds as good, maybe even better, than my TEAC, which cost me over $400!

This thing is amazing and I can even hear some sounds of songs I didn't hear on my more expensive TEAC like the bell in Born on the Bayou. I like two modes, DAC and PreAmp. I only use it in a DAC and it drives one of two tube amps and I have to say it's a great buy at $129! I have the silver one and it gets power from a larger USB power adapter (2.1 amp connector) rather than the computer's lame USB port. I suggest you do the same as others have also reported a better "bump" as voltage and…

Pros
  • ♫ Efficient decoding ability: The USB E30 supports the highest formats DSD512 and PCM 32bit/768kHz. COAX and OPT E30 support the highest PCM formats 24bit/192kHz.
