Topping E30 DAC & L30 Amp

WHAT WE HAVE here is not one but two audio products from Topping that pair together to really amp up your desktop audio experience. The E30 makes up the DAC part of this setup, while the L30 is the amp. Both products are visually similar and are of the same size and materials. For a two-piece setup, it makes perfect sense for these to stack on top of each other, and because of their matching designs, they make a pretty neat-looking addition to your desk.

One of the first things we noticed was the build quality of both the E30 and L30; with a black all-aluminum chassis, they feel great to the touch and provide peace of mind that these are solid, well-made products. Because both devices are fitted with rubber feet, they won’t be sliding around—vital when stacking the two on top of each other. They also both have a glass front, which is admittedly a magnet for the odd grubby fingerprint here and there, but it gives the pair a truly premium look and feels.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?

WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?

Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
