AOSHIDA Topping E30 II 2*AK4493S USB DAC, DSD512&PCM32Bit/768kHz XMOS XU208 USB DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial to RCA Digital-Analog Converters, Hi-Res Audio DAC with Remote Control (Black)

Der dac spielt besser als mein heiß geliebter marantz cd 10( aus den 90igern) . Und es ist ein sehr großer Unterschied ob ein ak4493 oder zwei verbaut sind. Für das Geld ein wahnsinnig guter dac. Da macht man nichts falsch. Ob mit Röhrenverstärker oder Transistor völlig egal. Sehr schöne Auflösung, Bühne, impulsiv, schöner trockener Bass. Ein Problem bleibt allerdings...... Mein cd player, der wird wohl nicht mehr lange bleiben...

As I like to tinker, and having read a review highlighting the improvement utilizing the E30II in a similar set-up to mine, I snagged the Topping E30 II DAC to pair with my Euphony Summus dual PC—a fancy music streamer/server that’s an exceptional piece of kit in its own right. I’ve been using this combo for a few months now, and I’m blown away by how clear this little DAC sounds, especially with DSD files. That said, it’s not perfect—the remote is junk, and the battery power option is a blessing and a curse. First off, the sound quality is unreal for $149. Hooked up to the Summus via USB, I played some upsampled DSD64 tracks and there was a definite improvement over just the endpoint in the dual configuration being fed into my receiver with DSP applied. Not enough to claim some audiophile nirvana, but had I been able to A/B test it prior, it might've saved me a considerable chunk of change. Now, the downsides. The remote is awful. It’s this flimsy plastic thing that is prime Topping, meaning it barely works unless pointing dead-on at the DAC. Switching inputs or filters (it’s got six PCM and two DSD options) is a hassle, and I gave up using it after a day—not that it really mattered considering it was just being used for DSD duties. Overall, this DAC is a steal for (not just) budget folks who love DSD and have a solid source like the Summus feeding it. The audio clarity is top-notch—way beyond what I expected—and it’s a nicely compact box. The remote’s standard for Topping - a bit of a dud unless you're right in front of it, and I'm going to have to find a better battery. But if you’re after clean, detailed sound without spending a fortune, the E30 II is a winner. Just plan to skip the remote and keep a charger handy!

I have owned and used extensively the Topping e30ii for 8 months now. Don’t let the price and comments like “entry level” mislead you. It is a high quality DAC delivering musical, rhythmic, clean sound with good body and a decent soundstage. I have always enjoyed music played through good quality equipment. I listen to a number of genres - classical, vocal (opera and pop), percussion (I love drum music) and jazz. My equipment includes NAD M51 dac (US$2,000), Topping A90D, Krell amplifier and top of line KEF tower speakers and Sennheiser HD600, amongst others. The Topping e30ii (coupled with Topping L30 (older model) is for bedtime listening, placed on my night table. I am enjoying the Topping e30ii very much. When I purchased the Topping A90D, their top of the line headphone amplifier (coupled with my NAD M51), I realized that Topping engineers knew how to make top quality hi-res equipment. I am not disappointed with the E30ii dac. The e30ii did not sound good initially. After 12 hours of use the sound improved significantly. Another 60 hours of use brought out the best. So be patient. Highly recommended.

WiiM Ultra に買い換えたところ最新ESSのDACチップで結構変化があったので、満足はしていながらDACに興味が出てしまいAIに音質UPの相談をしたところ、自分のシステムだと『Topping E30 II — コスパ最強（￥20,000 税込）の実用DAC』との事、結果としてこの選択で満足しています。 『WiiM→光／同軸の出力仕様が 48kHz/16bit 程度に制限されることが多い（ユーザーの環境含め）ため、超高精細なDAC（AK4499EX / ES9039 の最上位チップ等）をわざわざ買う必要は少ないです。実際は回路設計や電源の質で聴感差が出やすいので、価格対効果の高いE30/D10s系が合理的です。』 ラジコ→NIKKEI第2またはAmazon MusicまたはCD・レコード視聴。（SACD再生は外付DACは不可、無音になる） フィルタは今のところF-6 （デフォルトのF-3で聴くとDelayが少し長く感じた。その分奥行きが出て良いが自分は気になる） 自分のプリメインアンプのように、バランス接続が無い・プリアウトが無い、そんな一般的なアンプには最適解だったと思う。（YAMAHA A-S801） 安価でも最新DACがあれば、使っていない古いアンプやCDプレイヤーでも充分活かせるので楽しい。

Este equipo permite un upgrade en el manejo de sonido de los equipos en casa, permite unir varios dispositivos y controlar de manera centralizada el nivel de volumen pues hace funciones de pre-amplificador. Permite enviar vía sus salidas rca la señal a un amplificador reciente o antiguo. La configuración inicial es sencilla, en el caso de la conexión USB requiere instalar los drivers en el PC. En el caso del control remoto, es básico y el alcance es limitado, en mi caso funciona bien por tener el sitio de escucha alineado al frente del equipo. Su uso está limitado en mi caso a encender y apagar el Dac, el volumen está fijado al máximo en el dac y regulado en el amplificador. En lo que pueda compraré el siguiente nivel, limitado esto hoy día solo por el presupuesto.
