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)

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.

when I first got my preamp and amplifier I was always afraid that leaving them on all the time would cause some sort of electrical defect or a fire hazard because I was buying these devices that were claiming to do a lot in a very small package. but I'm pleased to say that this preamp does a whole lot and it works consistently alongside my amplifier to add volume control and input support to all my multimedia devices.I was also able to use an IR repeater to wire up a Logitech smart remote so that I could control all the devices with one remote and Logitech Harmony supports this preamp even though they don't make those devices anymore.I have used this entire one remote system to control my television and my preamp and have had no issues so far, with regards to toggling the on state off my amplifier or my television and I have really enjoyed the sound.I'm able to drive at peak volume from this preamplifier. for reference, this preamp controls the volume to KEF passive speakers. I've used it for a year and there have been no issues so far. touchwood.The dust that I have not cleaned off these devices should be a signal to how little I've had to actually fiddle with them to get them to work consistently. A great piece of hardware.

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...

Correspondait à mes attentes

Arrivato in tempi rapidi e tutto ha funzionato perfettamente, conforme ai dati tecnici dichiarati.Dispongo di uno streamer/dac ArgonAudio, acquistato alla modica cifra di 249 euro e tutto sommato nel mio impianto, andava abbastanza bene, però cercavo di migliorare l'interfaccia audio con un dac separato senza spenderci troppo. Cercando nei vari siti specializzati, ho letto ottime cose del dac in oggetto , ultima generazione , monta chip AKM rispetto ai Sabbre del modello precedente, interfacciabilita ridotta all' essenziale , telecomando, possibilità di avere anche il controllo del volume. Approffitando di un offerta a tempo ho deciso di acquistarlo. Fatto suonare per qualche in maniera continua, collegato ad un alimentatore lineare ( nella confezione non c'è nulla per alimentarlo ) mi ha leteralmente stupito ! Le differenze rispetto alla sezione dac del ArgonAudio sono udibilissime, più apertura sul medioalto, scena più ampia e profonda, voci in primo piano. Per quello che costa impossibile trovare difetti ! Lo consiglio a chi non ha pretese audiofile e soldi da buttare !!
