Praised on Head-Fi as a great value DAC to build a system around, the Topping D30 is easy to use and easy to love. It features the highly regarded Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC chip—along with WIMA, EPCOS, and Nichicon FW capacitors and the OPA2134 high-fidelity opamp—and supports DSD64, DSD128, and PCM formats up to 24 bit/192 kHz. The circuit has been specially designed to eliminate pop noise, and the laser-engraved aluminum shell is sleek, sturdy, and compact. Plus, it’s as user-friendly as they come, its front panel fitted with two LED indicators and two switches: one for on/off and the other to switch between optical, coaxial, and USB.
