Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: So just how good is a Topping (E30 in particular) DAC?

I don't know about the Topping E30, but for twice that amount, the sMSL SU-8v2 is hard to beat - if you don't mind the exciting, bright sound of ESS dac chips.
If you prefer something more rounded off and meaty, SMSL M400 and Topping D90, both with AKM chips, look like extremely good value - they might be more expensive at 899$, but my bet is you'd have to spend MUCH more to better those.
