My E30 arrived a little while ago and I've been playing random stuff with it and so far I'm impressed. It pulls more details out of the music and the bass is rock solid. I've played 24/96 from Qobuz and it sounds great. I'm using it from my iMac with Audirvana and DLNA to my Raspberry Pi running Volumio, out from one of the USB ports, with another USB port being used for power. I'll try other combinations over time since there are a lot of ways to do this. It is in my main system with 99.9999% silver rca's running to my Aikido pre and then to my 6B4G PP amp, and speakers are DIY Proac 2.5 clones. Preliminary impression is that it is better than the Allo Boss. I know that's a low bar but I found it to be pretty good.One problem I encountered is when attempting to play DSD256. I have some samplers at that rate and it wouldn't play. DSD128 did play though, as did DSD64. I set Volumio to DoP and then it worked. I also had to up the buffering because the default couldn't handle it either. It worked and sounded great. It's a shame nobody streams DSD. The E30 recognized it all at the proper rate.
I'll figure out how to do a shootout with the Boss, my iFi and my Hifiberry DACs. And I'll also try it on my computer system with my Lance speakers, which are surprisingly revealing. And one last thing I'd like to try but probably not during the pandemic is against a high priced DAC like the Mytek Brooklyn or some such.
