In Reply to: So just how good is a Topping (E30 in particular) DAC? posted by marc g. on December 3, 2020 at 15:06:11:
Santa Claus brought me an E30 for Christmas. Based on a brief listening session, I was initially impressed.
However after spending more time with it, I'm not sure that it's better than my Micromega Mydac. I'm using an iPhone charger to power it, which may not be a good choice. The sound is somewhat inconsistent. Some times it sounds very smooth and sometimes it sounds a bit thin and clinical.
The cables I am using to connect the E30 (Audience Ohno) cost more than the dac, but such is the development of dacs these days.
The only NOS dac I have heard in my systems was a Pro-ject Dac Box FL and the Micromega sounded better than it.
