I''m testing the Topping E30 with the Allo Shanti which is a great LPS, I would say the overall sound has improved, cleaner and airier, but the harshness that
Power-packed and Versatile. Setting a new benchmark in digital-to-analog conversion, the TOPPING E30 II Lite DAC introduces a myriad of advanced features, leveraging top-tier components such as the AK4493S chip, XMOS XU208
Rather than use a mains USB power supply, I used a mobile phone power bank lithium battery to provide the E30 with a nice pure DC supply. The E30 sounded extremely good, and to my surprise, this wee DAC compared very favourably to the Denon''s internal digital converter. The latter was just a touch more incisive, and on lots of
This was where I found the issue with power supply most on display. Poor power gave me a less than expected stage size and detracted from the music. Using the Ipower returned my HD800 to its normal cavernous sound. I don''t feel the E30 did anything to detract from the stage size when adequately powered, when it was suffering from
E30 II . . . /. Auto-3. . . DFU. DFU.
The E30 II uses a DC5V power supply, making it one of the most portable desktop DACs on the market. You can power it with a mobile phone charger, a power bank, or even the USB port on your laptop. A built-in protection circuit will prompt you whenever you''ve connected it to the wrong power supply–and save the E30 II in the meantime.
Topping claims the E30 II DAC makes significant improvements over its predecessor with dual DAC chips, better SINAD / SNR / dynamic range / noise level, and a discrete LNRD (low noise reference
E30 II use DC5V for power supply, which can access almost everywhere. In order to reduce the noise problem with a 5V power supply, Topping has equipped the E30 II with a Discrete LNRD circuit(Low-Noise Reference Driver), which can filter out the noise caused by the adapter and provides a stable power supply of ultra-low noise reference level.
The E30 II and L30 II are a perfect match, but their packaging is oddly dissimilar. While the units are the same size, the L30 II comes with a very large power supply (while the E30 II does not), so it does make sense that the boxes are different sizes. The L30 II box is about twice the size of the E30 II box.
As a novice in this field a following the recomendations, I ordered around 2020 the stack Topping D50S Dac and the P50 Power supply, together with a 20cm Curious Evolved Regen USB cable. After some tests, I realized that a could not hear reasons to keep the P50. Sold the stack, the Curious and went to the Topping E30.
There is no power supply included. There is a USB to 5 volt barrel connector giving you the choice of how you feed it. I started with my USB hub built into the monitor but got the best results with a Samsung USB charger. Your situation may vary as you don''t have an analyzer in front of the unit.

For my testing, I hooked up the power input using the supplied cable from my USB display hub (next to its data port). A remote control is provided which works
Cons: - Can get noise if you don''t have a clean power source, may need a separate investment. - No Bluetooth or other connectivities. Scientifically Awesome - Topping E30 DAC Review. Topping is a large and growing company from China, and their E30 is priced at only 130 USD at the moment of making this review.
The Samsung ETA0U60JBE was never faked, and a lot cheaper. I use them on my Topping E50 and E30 II. Noisy USB ports on a desktop system was always a problem until I got a Febsmart 2 port USB
The TOPPING E30 II is more generous on the input side with support for coaxial and optical SPDIF inputs on top of the expected USB Type-B input the provided cable works with. I expect most of our readers will use the E50 connected to a PC via USB for the digital to analog conversion, and rounding off the connectors is the 5 V plug for
Hi everyone, I just want to expose a problem I have with my Topping E30, the way I temporary solved it and where I think I can get better. Plus I want to know your thoughts and opinions. Configuration: I plugged my DAC to 2 USB, obviously 1 for power and 1 for data, on a USB hub that has it''s own powersupply and is connected to my PC.
Topping also sells a linear power supply; P50. But this costs as much as the E30 DAC After reading a forum post on Audio Science Review, which concludes: It is clear that whether you use the USB power,
The AC power cord supplied with the E30 is terminated in a type-B male USB connector, allowing the unit to be powered by your laptop or any number of other
Topping E30 DAC. £115. Measuring just 125x90x32mm, Rather than use a mains USB power supply, I used a mobile phone power bank lithium battery to provide the E30 with a nice pure DC supply. The
It is a similar setup as Topping D50 with external USB power (mandatory for all inputs). For my testing, I hooked up the power input using the supplied cable from my USB display hub (next to its data port). A remote control is provided which works identically as previous Topping products. Indeed I used the one from my Topping DX3 Pro to
If you want to get the cleanest sound out of E30, you should power the USB / Power input from a power bank, or a proper power, like the iFi iPower, but a USB
I have a bunch of those little Apple chargers (5 still in old boxes) I use one on my Schiit Modi 3+ and another on my Topping E30. Curious to know if they''d benefit from the larger 12W USB power adapter
By now you already realized how impressed I actually am with the Topping E30. It offers fine build, remote control, and a preamp function. More than that, it sounds astonishingly good for the price. Backed up with a low noise power supply and clean digital source, it doesn''t feel out of place even in a pricier system.
Florida. Aug 11, 2021. #44. I just got an E30/L30 stack and tried the USB port on the side of the monitor (which goes into a highly overclocked computer), and into a battery UPS with a good Samsung 1.5a charger, and also using a 10,000ma power brick which cost $10 and can charge and provide power at the same time.

TOPPING includes a warranty card with the E50, as well as a multi-language user manual (online copy found here) that walks you through initial setup and use of the DAC.This is all the more handy given the TOPPING E30 II has more functionality than, say, the JDS Labs Atom DAC+ or evenElement II we saw before, let alone the more
Power on & off/standby operation. Power on: When connects to power supply, E30 goes into the standby state, the screen displays a bright dot. Standby setting: When it is working, long press the multifunction touch button on the front panel to enter standby state, short press to exit standby state when it is in standby.
For the biggest fans of the E30 out there, you can easily go overboard with a nice external regulated and linear power supply like the Topping P50 – that one is the best one, I was mighty impressed by it
