better no psu that a bad psu. I bought a linear power supply in aliexpress, with regulable voltage and LCD display indicated the adjusted voltage. It has very good toroidal transformer inside, payed for it like 50 or 60$ shipped. E30 sounds great with it.

When I got my L30 it died the first day. Eventually it's replacement came from China and now, a few months later, my E30 no longer outputs sound, at least with the USB input.
This combo sounded great while it worked, but my confidence in Topping is about shot by now.

E30 + L30 still working perfectly, using it as a) Preamp for my STAX SRM-T1 + SR L700 Mk II system or b) as headphone amp for my HE400 magneplanar.

Waiting on my E30 to be delivered. I'll be using it in dac mode with a JDSLabs Atom. Hope its a good pairing. Didn't go with jdslabs dac cause i need coax for my rotel and usb input for tablet.
I've been pleased with my E30 into the Darkvoice and paired with the cliche of all headphone-amp pairings - the 6xx.
Best ever combo for the price. you can later upgrade to linear psu for the dac, and cheap but proper cables. Very clean dac, maybe R2R would be better, but for a delta sigma dac with akm sound, this is the best for the buck right now. And the amp is really nice. It is clean but maybe not clinically clean, sounds really really well with hd6XX. You may want to EQ such combo to get some of the bass hd6xx greatly lacks, but for dac amp, this is the best sounding cheap combo, I think.

Got in the E30 and I'm digging it. Really clean, and tight. I'm actually powering it from an Anker portable power pack, 20100mAh. So 2 days so far, auto-off, dac mode, and maybe 4hrs playtime.

Sorry for a dumb question. But is it possible to use coaxial input on E30 from dual RCA output on my TV using a subwoofer cable (single RCA male to dual RCA male)?

Dual RCA output is usually left/right channel analog, not digital. It's not possible to send analog output to digital input. Most probably your TV has optical digital output, you could use that one.
Unfortunately my TV doesn’t have any optical output. Thanks anyway
@mastino If you have dual RCA (L & R) out on TV, you can connect it with your amplifier with interconnect cable (2 RCA to 2 RCA).
@Zeka but E30 doesn’t have 2 RCA input.. what I want to know is it able to use 2 RCA cable connected to my TV’s dual RCA output to coaxial input (the
Yellow one) on E30?
No, because TV's RCA output is analog and coax input on E30 is digital.
I see. Thank you!
