★ 4 x CS43198 High Quality Chips: CS company's latest Top DAC decoding chip, the sound is as good as ES9038 and AK4497 chips; The THD+N of D30 pro is no higher than 0.00009%,which means the D30 pro accurately restores 99.99991% of the original sound. ★ Changes of A Quad DAC:The 4 x CS43198 provide a total of 8 full balanced channels.So each channel of the D30 pro will be arranged in parallel by 4 conventional balanced channels.The increase in output capability will bring changes in the sound and the spec will also improved. ★ Optional Input/Output Mode: D30 Pro support USB/Coaxial/Optical inputs, USB maximum support PCM 32bit/384kHz, DSD256 (Native), DSD128 (Dop); D30pro has full balanced XLR output and single ended RCA output. You can choose XLR only,"RCA only" or XLR+RCA output to meet different usage in the multiple systems. ★ Preamplifier Function:D30 pro has preamplifier function so you can control the output volume on the front panel or use remote control. it is very suitable for connecting to power amplifiers or monitor speakers.And this will also help you leave the budget of a preamp. ★ TOPPING A30 Pro Headphone Amp + TOPPING D30pro DAC Set:New specifically redesigned NFCA module, A30 Pro provide THD+N<0.00006% and <0.3uV noise.This combination could provide high-resolution, high-quality sound for your hifi systems.★ Note: Topping factory does not recommend connecting the D30pro/E30 to the CD player, because it has high requirements on the input of the CD player. And most CD devices will cause music to stutter/ skip.

Heavy bass in amplifiers

Bass is deeper than Modi 3 mode and the soundstage is slightly more detailed. Modi 3 is a great solution if you don't need a remote control or display. If you can justify paying 4x the price, buy the D30 Pro.

Pros
  • Receiver and amplifier
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not worth the price

There is a known issue with the coaxial input that affects the D50 model which unfortunately has not been fixed and is now present in the D30 Pro model. For a $400 product, this is unacceptable. I don't care how good it sounds through the USB input, I still listen to CDs and can buy a cheaper DAC that works as it should. save your money

Pros
  • home cinema
Cons
  • boring packaging

Strong bass in home audio

The bass is deeper than modes 3 and the soundstage is slightly more detailed. The Modi 3 is a great deal if you don't need a remote or display. If you can justify paying 4x the price, buy the D30 Pro.

Cons
  • Fairly good

Good product Price

Paired with a30 pro topping this DAC sounds full and rich. The dsd256 support is great and the overall tone is transparent and neutral. The price of $400 is a bit high but still a great product.

Pros
  • Amplifier
Cons
  • Very expensive

Excellent sound quality

I'm glad I bought this DAC. The decision was made based on a comparison of test results in AudioScienceReview and Z Reviews on YT. This is a low noise, low distortion, balanced output DAC, just what I wanted. Quality construction. The sound is very clear and great for the price. The remote control is simple but functional. The seller, Aoshida HiFi, kindly made sure that everything went well with the delivery and that I was satisfied with the product.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Angry
