hello
i want to buy topping e30
for FPS gaming to hear footsteeps is that good for FPS gaming ?
i have akg k712 pro
and AMP magni heresy
thank you ❤

[douglasbonner]

Thanks for the review. I am guessing it replaces the D30 which is been out for quite a while.

OK I think the Topping 30 is for me but here's a question. I used to be into hifi 50 years ago, but 5 children have taken so much of my time and money 😬 Iam back... I am presently downloading hi quality FLAC files but don't want to be lumbered with a p.c to play them. Yet I want a cheap, yet visually attractive, informative way of selecting and playing them any ideas ?

[alexius]

But okay for external power adapter, but how many watt do you need for the dc supply?

[wbishop]

i am awaiting this DAC tomorrow and if you are saying its "safer tuned" in high maybe i could disable my EQ that is taming highs a bit on Beyerdynamic DT880 250ohm headphones

[SahinurUK]

Can you please explain what th4 different filter settings to do the sound?

[Indrajit]

Hi. May I know which one of the either - A usb phone charger or a powerbank offers better power supply to the Topping E30?

[vanea]

Thanks to your review, I have now E 30 II in my room. Great, different sound comparative with my old Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100. Let's say more beautiful. Please, I ask your opinion because I can change (adding some money) E 30 with E 50: it is worth it to go for this one, Topping E 50 ? Thank you so much! Wainting anxious for your answer, dear Sandu.

In the preview the e30 display reads “88... ok. Found a site where i can sample DSD’s. 176kHz and 88 were displayed on my e30. Thanks. Your preview screen gave me the idea.

How long is the burn-in-period?

[SpitFirerus]

Can you please tell me, did the touch on / off button work right away?
I received an e30, it does not work for him yet, I pressed it a thousand times, only the remote control. Is there any other way to switch to switch to DAC mode or pre amp mode via the remote control?

[lextr]

monoprice have dual akm4493 + thx+dirac.. did you, can you compare with your stack?

[shtruckk]

Please help me with an advice : which is the best option, in your opinion, between : DAC ProJect Pre Box S2 and Topping E30 / dx3 pro v.2. The dac will be used only in a stereo system, headphone amplifier is not important from me. Thank you in advance.

Would this sound better with q usb hub connected to the computer? Since its out of the computer or do you think that since its still connected to the computer it wouldn't make any difference i plan on getting a ifi power supply but just to get me started

[mykeldg]

is subjectively better sounding than the topping d70 ? I just noticed it measures better than both the d50s and d70 in ASR.

[fran.growtify]

Great review! Im looking for a budget dac between 100-200$. Could you recommend me a dac as good as the topping e30 quality sound with bluetooth featured? Or just better stay with the e30 without bt?

[sturdza]

Happy to see Wife acceptance factor getting used by other reviewers
For future dacs if you can also cover the driver aspect would be appreciated

[Spedeer]

Loxjie D30 or this topping? system: Dali Helicon 300, Yaqin MS 30L, music pop, rnb, rock, rap. I love first plan vocals and detailed highs.

[shanmukhak]

Hi, How does the e30 dac sound when compared to the Fiio K5 pro? They both have same AK4493 chip.

[thetreasonseason]

What's the ideal input to use with PC as source and output to a headphone?
