Bizarre handling but very good DAC

It's amazing the quality DACs you can buy in the $100-200 market today. The Topping E30 is a very good performer with an interesting minimalist take on the blacked out front. Just a very subtle touch button on the right acts as the physical controls for turning the device on and switching input sources. All other controls have to be done via the remote control, some of which strangely don't even have the corresponding functions that control the E30. What to do, topping? The E30 DAC gets 5 stars

I spent hours debating whether I needed a balanced XLR for future upgrades. I've compared Geshelli, SMSL, and Topping offerings, which appear to be similar with different feature sets. Then I came across the E30. I've been patiently waiting for
