Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The sound is very good, if not a little uninteresting. It measures superbly and sounds superb. I find the sound processing of the signals fed are accurate and convey what i perceive the original sound engineer wanted before i route the output to the e... Read More

The amp is serviceable. The new cushions are velour which makes them more comfortable. There is enough foam to protect the product during shipping.

Physical volume/power/ input knob is great to have on the days i lose my remote. The knob also powers on/off the unit or changes inputs by pressing or holding it in. A generic usb cable, remote control and the power adapter are included.

Topping is an audio force to be reckoned with. The manufacturer provides their own performance specs, but you can also find them from independent measurers.

Bigger, brighter, easier to read display. The brightness has also been increased. The numbers on the display are pretty much perfectly centered, whereas the e30 is slightly offset.

Cons

However, this amp always stops after working for around 30 min. Need to restart manually each time.

It does support very high pcm and dsd bitrates, which for the price is phenomenal.

So now i am stuck with a $200.

This would have costed 5 times more a decade ago.

Shipping

Update:the seller sent a replacement that was delivered pretty quickly.

Competitiveness

This is a reasonably priced dac that is competitive with expensive ones.
