Just use the tone control... saves you a lot of money
I hate tube amps, most come with a pretty severe noise floor. Sure, it's not an issue with a high impedance headphone like HD600/HD650/HD800.Jokes aside, I am curious to try a R2R and a tube DAC at some point. I am open to the possibility I might enjoy the "warmth" of their top-end distortion. You never know...

Sadly, no. And all the snake-oil enablers love his shit to pieces (I'm sure they get healthy advertising dollars).Ok I’ll ask, is that a joke page?

Wow, ok. Ok. So 6moon has an interview where these things are claimed to be measurable. Sooo Has @amirm measured them?
I did, with exactly the results you'd expect (both electrical and sociological). Amir is likely smarter than I am and wouldn't waste the time. The process did teach me a lot, especially about how people will happily sacrifice their integrity and reputations in promoting their business partners.
Maybe just email them your results and ask to be fairly compensated for your time or you will be forced to find compensation via public release of said results. It’s not hush money, it’s a consulting fee.

Question: Do you notice differences when no ifi USB purifier (in the picture) is in the chain?I have 2 R2R DACs myself and none of them sounded warm at all. They sound just like any other DS DACs that is well engineered and far cheaper to boot. Tube DAC OTOH is hard to find so I use a tube preamp instead

From https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-battle-of-schiit-audio-dacs.5487 :My Modi Multibit (v1 I think they have multiple versions now?) sounds quite dark and lacks detail. Its why I stopped using it.

Interesting. Regardless of the DACs I use (Mojo, apple lightning DAC/amp and Bifrost 2), none of them have a signature nor none of them sound different nor lacking detail but if the psychoacoustics of seeing modi multibit causes you to hear the sounds as dark and lacking detail that I get due to perception bias. Anyways, Topping D30 is far objectively superior than any of my DACs so rest assured that you're getting the whole resolution of your music files. Then again, my ears is probably less accurate compared to a healthy young person and that would significantly affect my subjective experience with DACs.
New version still uses same low end chips, but fixes dithering which was previously not implemented.Well it was the first version using the lowest end AD DAC chips and it has no oversampling of any kind IIRC.
