View attachment 1256352 Ok, got the topping c30, cca audio, and fospower optical cable going. Sounds very, very nice! Now to get my big speakers back up here in the living room.
And remember to enable the "Full Dynamic Range" option in your CCA if youre using one.

Or you can run spotify from chrome and cast the tab. And of course cast anything in the tab like youtube, radiostations etc.
Pretty sure you can cast from a Ipad mini to the CCA and not have to go wired if you don't want to.
I used to cast from my phone mostly. Now that I run Tidal from a PC I use USB.
Many ways to do this, the phone is a really handy way tho IMHO.

I thought I would chime in and say I got a couple of Topping D50s and I can hear no difference between that and my D30. I actually returned one of the D50s and will be replacing it with a D30. I'm not too crazy about the volume control combined with source toggle (up and down for volume, left and right for source) on the D50. It's very easy to change the source when you meant only to change volume. I am going back to using the Schiit Sys for volume control.
I don't know if CCA doesn't have the output specs for the upgrades in the D50 to take advantage of or if I just can't hear the difference. At any rate I don't think the D50 is in any way an upgrade over the D30.
I have the D30 and asked on the Audio Science Review site if the D50 would be an upgrade. Amirm, the house guru who does all the testing, said it wouldn't be unless I needed the extra features of the D50.

Hey Eric, not sure I get what you mean here. Cast the tab?
Gracias!
Enjoying my CCA and D30 daily. The CCA with it's long power cord and optical cable was getting tangled as well as falling on the floor so I came up with a solution. I drilled holes in a Shure cart box and tucked the extra cables inside and velcro'd the CCA to the top.

My CCA is always just down in the mess of wires behind whatever the components are. It's no like it has any buttons I need to actuate.
Since my D30 is on a smart switch along with the rest of the stereo I've been thinking of moving that "behind the scenes" too.
