The signal path from digital to audio is best traveled with a capable companion. To help you get from point D to point A with Hi-Res sound that never settles, the new Topping E30 DAC uses cutting-edge components in an easy-to-control interface. Driving the conversion is an AK4493 chip, which is highly rated for its low distortion, strong S/N ratio, and accurate digital filters. Also crucial to conversion is an industry-leading XMOS interface for USB inputs. Together, these components give the E30 an impressive set of specs, including crosstalk under -130 decibels, a dynamic range of 119dB, an S/N ratio of 121dB, and a distortion rate as low as 0.0003 percent. Powered directly from a USB port or through its DC jack, the E30 comes with an OLED display on the front, and USB-B, optical, coaxial inputs, and RCA outputs on the back. It also includes a remote for simplified control from any spot in the room.
