Yup, I blew up my d30 this way...

Ordered one to tie me over until I figure out which DAC+amp combo I want. Haha... Mine comes in today too.Finally went on sale on Amazon.ca so my L30II is on the way.
Hi,
Is anyone using L30 II with E50? Just ordered an E50, but cannot decide if I should go for L50 or L30II? I don't really need a balanced interface which L50 has, and L30 II has a preamp function that I may combine with my existing setup when switching between headphones and the speakers.
1 - I'm not 100% sure but I've read somewhere it's a ALPS (4 channel) potentiometer- Alps is a well-known brand.(1) What type of potentiometer does L30 II uses ? what brand is it ? is it good ?
(2) Some L30 units were failing back in the days, Does L30 II fail too ? or have they fixed this issue ?

Does it break if one feed it 5V DC? Odd, it should not happen really...Yup, I blew up my d30 this way...
So is this even even better than L50?
It does NOT have balanced headphone outputs though so there is not more power available. The XLR output is just for convenience (so you can use 6.3 TRS jack and XLR4 headphone cables on it.You'd get more power if connected to L50 balanced
No. It must have AC because that is needed to create +/- internal power supply voltages.I just wondered if one could feed it 15 x 1,4 + 1=22V super high quality stabilised DC?
Not 'better' in any way, the L50 has just balanced in (TRS jack) alongside RCA in.
A feature the L50 has that may be interesting is that you can switch between balanced input and RCA input basically allowing you to use 2 different input sources.
The L30-II can also be used as a pre-amp (so RCA out through volume control)
The L50 can not do this and is only throughput (so input and output are only connected)

You can buy a TRS to XLR4 converter and use that with L30-II with the exact same output power
