Topping D10 or D30 for raw performance? Which one is better? I don't mind for input and features, just raw performance.
Thank you! Which one is better on paper? Which is measuring better?I have both. I got the D30 first but I got the D10 for the optical out to try and solve a usb clicking and popping issue.
To my ears they are 95% identical but the D30 is slightly warmer. This is splitting hairs. Its like taking 10% of the cheese off a cheese burger and claiming it tastes different.
Buy either be happy.

Hmm I think DAC from D30 has slightly better specs.I believe the D30 measures a bit better but Amir used two different analyzers. The DAC on the D30 is much older, classic Cirrus Logic DAC from the early 2000s. The ESS DAC in the D10 is much newer but I believe has slightly worse specs. I could be wrong. Either way they are very similar products.
The D30 uses external power while the D10 is powered by USB power.

Advantages and disadvantages of using external powering DAC or USB? In terms of performance. I do not mind if there is one brick more.

Best way to improve your D30,Has anyone seen this? the guy seems to have pretty good results modding his D30.
Pathetic channel can't even name cs4398 right.. Let alone no measurements whatsoever is done after the modification.Has anyone seen this? the guy seems to have pretty good results modding his D30.

on this channel he has a number of videos. Many compare his modded D30 to D50, D70, MOJO CHORD.
I know tha the E30 should be better but as a hobby it is intersting to see that dacs can evolve, noticeably by changing the opamp's.
Let me say this....Writing error, i didn't want to say "many compare" but "he compares"... don't know how this got there...
he owns à D50, D70 and MOJO CHORD and has videos comparing theme.
The changes are in the definition, separation and space. It is interesting. After, the mods are more expensive than the DAC, but for a hobby instead of letting an old DAC in the bottom of a drawer, it can be a fun project to do.

I give up, this is getting too sterile about mesurements, people who have the ultimate science and so one.
I was just showing a fun project that could be made with aging gear.
