Need DAC comparable to OPPO BDP-83SE, or better, small size, USB OK, SPDIF coax...

HUGE e30 DAC improvement running off a Li battery:) I am going to look at more DAC's and also into running the whole system off the fairly large RV battery setup which will be getting several times larger as I build the solar power system. I have a very good 1kw D class car audio amp I can use directly and the rest of the system, TV, PC, Modem/Router, tube amp, etc.....will need an inverter so looking into one just for those as all located at the end of the RV. I already have a long length of power cable I can run and the chassis on this is massive so it will make a perfect ground but I might just drive a ground rod in as well to tie the chassis to.

I will look into the car audio realm again for the 12v system, big capacitors. I have some so will use them and likely will have all the clean power I need for no additional cost over what I already have on hand.

I am learning as I go as realized years ago, "I know nothing", I have beliefs which are subject to change as I learn new information which I plan to continue until the end whenever that may come, I turned 70 today and feel more alive than ever:)

Happy Birthday! Rick

Thanks!

When my predecessors lived until 48, 50, I figured I might just make 52 but just hit 70 and going strong. Sure helps to have a wonderful wife and doggy to be with to have a great reason to take care of myself:)

Just installed my E30 and it’s usb hooked up to a MacBook Pro..

I’ve been using Amazon Music and I’m getting superb results into an audiophile type stereo + subs setup..

I got the silver and it looks spiffy next to my silver Loki Preamp and PS M700 monoblocks ..

I’m hearing something I’ve never heard before on many cuts..

Impressive and I got it for Xmas..

Glad you like the e30, I think it quite nice for the price, especially on battery power, highly recommend trying it.

Making some changes to the plans, just might sell my beloved Edgarhorns and build some Caintuck F15 OB speakers and W15 OB sub under my desk as can vent there and on the sides and back of the desk so might work well.

Probably go to an R2R Dac using Qobuz via laptop for now, streamer later.

Baby Sophia, fully upgraded, for the F15s

Looking at a DSP sub amp so I can see how well I can tune the sub under the desk if not able to with the Dayton amp with single band EQ, way over powered for an OB sub but if not working out then I can build a sealed sub, have plenty to choose from here.
