AY i got a stoopid question!
ima connect the L30+e30 via double cinch, and the e30 get its power via the ac. what do i need the usb/opt/coax for?
To feed songs / music to the E30 from a computer?

Technically they are quite different. USB is clocked by the DAC, opt/coax by the source. USB is better in that sense. Optical always provides galvanic isolation, others depending on the implementation, but typically not. USB has larger bandwidth. If there is no ground loop, the difference is probably not audible.well that makes perfect sense lol sorry xD so is there any difference in sound when i use the usb vs opt/coax?

Do you really have actual PCM 768 KHz files, or are you just upsampling for the sake of upsampling ?I have previously reported on the problems with the E30 as shown below, but the problem with PCM 768kHz producing explosive noise seems to be largely affected by the rise in ambient temperature.
If the room temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius, or if L30, which generates a lot of heat, is installed in layers, the frequency of occurrence will increase.

I have a lot of PCM 768kHz files created with AuI ConverteR 48x44 file conversion software to test DAC equipment.Do you really have actual PCM 768 KHz files, or are you just upsampling for the sake of upsampling ?
Sure, Topping should deal with this since they advertise 768 KHz, or then just advertise 384 KHz. But I doubt this is a significant matter anyway.
Pop sound is caused by DC offset. Latest revision has two capacitors to eliminate this and added protection against AC plug.
I have no idea about the first issue tho.
What is the latest revision?
E30 pre-amp output is the same as DAC output. Volume is adjusted digitally. So, it does not give as good an SNR as using an analog pre-amp. However, if you use an analog pre-amp like L30 to reach a reasonable volume range for your headphones or speakers, there is enough headroom that fine-tuning with E30 does not matter.I have not gone through the whole thread but is it me or is the PRE-AMP in this unit subpar at best? I'm using as DAC only but gave PREAMP a couple tries and I'm not sure what it is, didn't like it compared to straight DAC output.
The noise is around -150dB SNR is of no real concern for a digital volume control.
Where are you seeing that? Amir’s measurements show noise around -120dB.
Why don't you just add bass to taste on eq? Easy to do. Don't swap a quite powerful clean amp for a powerful clean amp. That won't add bass. Also, what's a thx124459?hi! im not very impressed with my e30+l30, i miss a lil bass paired with my dt 1990s. i think of returning the l30 and pairing the e30 with a THX 789. good or bad idea?
or maybe rather returning both and gettin THX 124459
The THX DAC amp Combo.Why don't you just add bass to taste on eq? Easy to do. Don't swap a quite powerful clean amp for a powerful clean amp. That won't add bass. Also, what's a thx124459?
