## Details & Specifications
The Topping E30 II Lite is a small desktop DAC. It takes digital audio from a computer, TV, game console or CD player and turns it into a very clean, quiet analog signal. It has USB, optical and coaxial inputs, and its built-in volume control means it can feed powered speakers directly.

It has no headphone jack. To use headphones you need a separate headphone amp (Topping suggests its L30 II); otherwise it's for powered speakers or an amplifier. The only output is RCA, with no balanced XLR. It runs from a USB charger or power bank, and it switches itself on and off with the signal.
