It all works excellent, the volume control on Volumio does nothing no matter what it is set to, so I adjust the volume on the Crack, but not a big deal.

Not using it. HW Mixer string: n/a Comments: Works great. Not listened for too long - will update if problems occur. Wasn’t sure if the Pi could cope with USB -> DAC as I’d read about problems with earlier models but it seems ok to me.

Working with Volumio: YES
Tested Versions and Platforms: R Pi 3B+/Asus Tinker Board (did not work)
Hardware Mixer on Volumio: YES
HW Mixer string: Had no issues
Comments: No issues to report in limited use over 3 days. Have not yet played DSD/DSF so cannot comment on the reported issue with those file types. Prior testing on my office system with JRiver as the player had no issues with DSD/DSF playback. Have the board installed in a 3D printed case but have picked up an aluminum chassis and prefer that look. Will be testing on x86 Mini platform I just purchased.
Buying Link: I bought it at Amazon. There are other sources and pricing seems to be level across all sources.

Volume control does not work from volumio though. Have to investigate in that furthermore… Buying Link:
Name: Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD Receiver: DAC: Supposedly 2x Cirrus Logic CS4272 Async: Yes Working with Volumio: Yes Tested Versions and Platforms: Volumio 2.673, Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 4 and Volumio 2.532 on Cubox-i Harware Mixer on Volumio: Yes HW Mixer string: None needed Comments: Works flawlessly on Pi 4 at all sample rates and bit depths up to 192Khz 24bit. Excellent sound quality. Does not support MQA decoding or direct DSD playback. Hardware mixer working on recent Volumio versions. Suffers from clicks/pops when used on Pi 0-3 which get worse at higher sample rates due to Pi USB dropouts so only recommended for use with Pi 4 or non-Pi devices. Works OK with Cubox-i and x86 PC.

Name: Topping E30 Receiver: XMOS XU208 DAC: AKM AK4493 Async: Capable of Async Playback? YES Working with Volumio: YES Tested Versions and Platforms: 2.729 on RPi 3 Harware Mixer on Volumio: YES HW Mixer string: N/A Comments: Worked first time with no fiddly Linux config stuff. Highest res of files played so far: FLAC-24-192 and DSD64-DSF. DSD Direct/Volume bypass mode at full volume (e.g. -0.00db). NOTE: barely-audible soft-click when you hit -0.00db.
Powered by 2xUSB (one power, one signal) from the RPi, mains power from RPi “official” PSU resulted in no background noise. A full line output; line levels are v. close to my old Linn Ikemi CD player into an old Linn Pre/Power.

Comments: With hardware mixer chosen you may find multiple options in the Mixer Control Name field named “Topping Clock Selector(…)” try both to see which one lets you control the volume from Volumio GUI. If you find volume lower than expected log in via SSH to your Volumio device and check alsamixer and F6 (audioon devices). You will find your “Topping Clock Selectors”, adjust the level of each on and confirm results in web GUI; one of them will not respond to changes. Set that one at 100% and save changes (sudo alsactl store). Ensure you have the controllable one selected in the Web Volumio GUI Hardware Mixer settings and you’re done!
I have had this problem return when I upgraded Volumio - however once fixed it seems to stay that way.
