Hello All,
I just ordered a new dac to replace my pifi dac hat on rpi4.My question " Will Topping e30ii lite work with the same driver with topping e30ii or i might have compatibility problems?Does anyone checked it ?
Thank you in advanced for any comment or answer.
Linux has a generic driver for USB Audio, so whatever decent USB DAC you have, it will work.
The only thing to watch out for is DSD support, which is DAC-dependent and needs to be “registered” in the driver.
But seeing this is the same brand with both having an XMOS interface, you should be fine (XMOS support is standard).
Thank you for your reply gkkpch
Hi
I am going to buy a new dac 200€ max, topping or SMSL. one key feature I would like to be sure it works, is the management of the volume (call Hw volume) of the Dac by volumio.
The compatibility list not updated, so are E30ii lite (or not), SMSL do100 pro compliant ?
thanks for you validated and tested feedback.

Hi @gvida,
I can only update the list when the community reports them, or add them their selves to the list.
fingers crossed feedbacks come
I tested extensively the Topping E30 II with Volumio and it works like a charm
I have no clue about the “lite” version, but I assume it will work fine as well
Do you confirm the e30 ii support the hardware volume setting in volumio. If you change the volume in volumio, do you see on the screen of the e30 ii, the level changed ?
Volumio and E30II volume control are 2 separate things.
The E30II controls the RCA output, not the input.
So you either control the Volume via Volumio or the E30II, not both as this would double the setting. (75% at Volumio and the E30II 75% of 75%)

no, you don’t, as mentioned by @Wheaten
this has nothing to do with Volumio, rather then how the E30 has been implemented
