    Topping E30 + L30 vs Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen - what I'm doing wrong? I'm stupid?

    Hi all Long time lurker, erm.. second time poster :) I recently received a Topping E30 DAC from Father Christmas ;) . I really enjoy the functionality, but alas, I am suffering from one - possibly two - stubborn ground loops, the symptoms of which are detailed below: SETUP: Old PC > Topping...

    Mini-pc or Notebook? Which is better for a better or most natural sound?

    For better sound performance, which is better? mini-pc or notebook? Factors that I consider important are the grounding (of the notebook) and the low power consumption (of the mini-pc), which of the two is better to reduce interference that can cause pollution (and annoying noise degradation) in...

    Bought Topping L30, Now Fiio Q5s or Topping E30?

    Hi guys. Currently, I'm using my Q5 as the USB DAC to pair with my Topping L30. Considering an upgrade for my old Q5. I seldomly bring my Q5 out, so desktop usage is the priority. But still, sometimes I need a portable device with some power, like when going to a HiFi expo, or some offline...

    Power Supply for Topping E30

    Hi there, I finally got my Topping E30 today and noticed that it doesn't include a power supply. Now if I remember correctly, the "linear-power" supply sounds better is a myth or at least not noticeable compared to a regular supply. Also while it required (5V/1A), as it's USB I can just plug...

    Best OS/server to stream Tidal/Qobuz via Raspberry PI

    Hi there! I'm about to set up a solution that should look like this next week when the Topping E30 will finally arrive: Tidal/Qobuz -> Raspberry PI (3 for now but will change to 4 if there are issues with the USB) -> USB -> Topping E30 -> NAD Amplifier I'm wondering which OS to use best for...

    How to properly send audio from MacBook to external DAC

    I've done plenty of research on this one but seem unable to find a definitive answer... For music, I simply stream from Idagio (flac) and Google Music (high). I do not use TIDAL, nor do I download and play high res audio files from iTunes or another player. I have a MacBook Air connected...
