Question: I bought this to drive an Adcom power amp, not realizing it WAS a pwer amp. I just wanted the DAC and ability to plug my phono eq-preamp into the aux inputs. a) can I use the headphone outputs or voltage divide the power outs? b) can you recommend a better unit w/o the power outs in this price range?

I haven’t. I’ve seen that others using SE have used it with variable success. It uses MME/WDM drivers so it may not be the best solution, especially since UE3 is best in the WASAPI mode. For now I’ll just stick with the spdif routing and the delta 410 and see how far it takes me, so to speak.

Hi Mark,

Have you tried using Virtual Audio Cable for UE3?

Synopsis:
Virtual Audio Cable software allows you to transfer audio (wave) streams between applications and/or devices.

Anyone have any tips for loudspeakers to go with the TP30? I was wondering about Q Aucoustics 2010s (6ohm, rec power Recommended Power: 15 – 75w) or maybe some JBL Control 1 PROs (4 ohms).

What should I be looking for in speakers spec wise?

Since the amp is limited by the voltage rails, 4-6 ohms speakers would be a better match than 8 ohm. As far as the sensitivity, I think in general the higher the better depending on what kind of output you’re looking for. I’m not familiar with the Q Acoustics.

Hi Anders,
Sorry for the tardy reply. I’ll try to pull out the xover and box info, but it may take a week or so.

Got another question for you mark. I would lik to use a better dac with my tp30, is the aux input analogue and does it bypass the internal dac?
Thanks in advance for your good advice and merry christmas to you and yours.
Kevin.

Hi. I have a pair of those TB 3 inch copper drivers that i’m planning to use in a diy table radio. I would love if you would share the details of the box and x-over/trap used in your experiments, or any other box you would recomend.
Thanks in advance!

Great write-up. Your write up and the additonal comments pretty much confirm my experience with the TP30. I’ve been using it for about a year attached to a ThinkPad with an older pair of Snell Type M monitor speakers. This is in an office environment. The result is truly fanstastic, detailed sound at all levels acceptable in an office – and then some!

The TP30 is small, handsome, silent and runs cool. The USB DAC works perfectly. The banana jacks make speaker connections quick and easy. My only tiny objection is with the orientation of the OFF / ON switch. Off should be the down switch position, not up.

Thanks, i now have a 13.8 v regulated bench supply. Set me back 22 Euro, the sound stage seems to be wider and deeper but i have had to fiddle with the sub settings a bit to compensate for the richness.
All the best.
