Hello, new member here, signed up as I recently purchased the E30 after seeing the test reports here and been closely following the thread.
i have a background in pro audio (recording, mixing mastering) and electronics hobyist for over 40 years.
Unfortunately I can confirm the above is true, i made a recording of a file directly from the outputs of the e30 to my sony PCM D100 and the recorded stereo file when viewed in DAW compared to the original file was inverted polarity...
I am absolutely gobsmacked that the design could make it to production with such a fundamental 'flaw' regardless if its audible or not its the inverse of what the digital source bits say it should be.
considering returning the unit now as i dont want to wire up cables to flip the outputs for analogue recording etc
I was all excited about jumping in on a very new product that tested so well but feel quite burned now as an early adopter to find out this DAC is inverting the outputs a month later
What the hell topping, what possible reason could justify not picking up and correcting this at pre production ?
