Hello there everyone!
Please bare with me here since I am new to this forum and I don't understand if I do something wrong (even this post I don't know for sure if it belongs here, sorry in advance if not).
To jump to the issue: I recently bought a Topping E30 II Lite DAC to go with my Topping L30 II amplifier which I am very happy with. However, once the setup was done, I noticed that some things do not add up to the DAC based on what it was written on the product page description:
- I cannot put the device in DAC mode at all, tried every way possible, including pressing all the buttons on the remote or with the universal touch button (pressing for 7+ seconds just enters the settings of the DAC)
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest version, also did nothing
- The DAC cannot be powered only through USB for some reason, it requires the power connector to actually power up, so I have to stay with both cables plugged in
- It also cannot go above the 32bit 384 PCM range (it was advertised as 768PCM) - not that I care that much, but with the other issues listed above it tells me something is wrong
The DAC was purchased from a reputable retailer in my country which I never had any issues with, and the package was also sealed. Besides that, the casing indeed shows E30 II Lite on it, so it confuses me.
The setup that I done is basically the following: PC -> E30 II Lite (USB) -> L30 II Amp -> Headphones
Am I doing something wrong?
