Just RCA, I want to use it as a desktop DAC via RCA on my integrated amplifier or just go with an integrated amp that has a dac inside.

Topping E30 II DAC Review
- Thread starter amirm
- Start date
USB from the mobo is sufficient
I re-read the manual but there was no mention of such a thing.Says in the manual I can disable the remote controlNot sure why this is an option. Is it better internally for that last 0.000001% performance?
Anyway, just received this today as an upgrade from the original E30.

A useful function if you only want to use it as a DAC without accidentally changing anything.
It also prevents it from reacting to other remote controls.
So I did the unthinkable and, uh, accidentally switched the power cables for my amp and the (original) E30. So now the DAC shows E - d, which I assume means it's dead. Any reason to not go with this new version and pop it into my setup? I saw something changed with the power, does it still require you to connect it to a phone charger?

Hooked up my new E30 II
First impression is it sounds more open and smoother than my E30 II lite
Funny how the mind works!

Just think about how real dreams appear. Our brain can't be trustworthy!
Because not everyone uses a remote control, perhaps. (I am an example of that [I need all the exercise that I can get]).
In my mind it's just more clutter. (I have more than enough clutter in my life) But perhaps it's needed to access some function because they made it so that is the only way to access some functions.

Topping's Downloads page lists all DACs with Windows 7 drivers: https://www.toppingaudio.com/downloads
The E30II is not among them.

No problem here with W7. Plays flawless with E30II
Your system is probably 64 bit. In my case, it's 32 bit. Maybe that's the whole problem?

But the E30 II can be turned on?
Could it be that the power supply for the DC5V port is too weak?
I would try the E30 II on another PC or Mac to make sure it is working properly.
The problem can also lie with the PC.
Yes, it turns on. At the same time, the connection source indicator (USB) is constantly flashing
