Cheers, thanks for that. NX7 seems like it should be more than enough, or are there better options for the money?

So that’s comparing the Apple lightning to 3.5mm DAC to the G5 DAC?

HD6XX, K702, M50x, DT880, AD900X I guess I’m just wondering if there’s any sonic difference in using G5 in DAC mode (USB-in) versus the DAC in the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm to NX7 HPA without built-in DAC?

Bump anyone?

Hi all, I’m looking for a portable headphone amp and have narrowed it down to Topping G5 and Topping NX7. The main advantage I see is the G5 having a DAC. My main source would be iPhone. Would using G5 in DAC mode give any fidelity gains over using Apple Lightning to 3.5mm jack with NX7? Cheers

I’m using Nvidia Shield which is Android TV, and those apps don’t work on Android TV. The only way of getting bit perfect audio with the Shield is by following this guide: https://techbyask.com/how-to-setup-the-nvidia-shield-pro-as-a-bit-perfect-audio-streamer-player/ However, this is only for...

Bloody Android!!! I tested with iPhone as source with USB via Apple CCK3, around twice the volume now! Who would have thought Nvidia Shield would be attenuating USB output…

Bump anyone? I see the DX3 Pro+ and SMSL C200 as options, anything else worthwhile considering with auto on/off with signal detection?

You’re right, the E30 II DC plug confused me

Yes I’ve tried optical from TV, same low volume

Yes but if I’m testing L30 RCA output it’s DC I believe?

Why 60Hz? Why not 1khz?

E30II plugged into Nvidia Shield via USB, E30II in DAC mode, L30 on +9db full volume on knob. Only thing I can think of is an issue with either the E30 or L30. Chord Mojo got to the point I could barely handle near full volume, E30/L30 I can comfortably listen on full volume

From my testing, L30 0db gain full volume is exactly the same volume as A1749 full volume. +9db on the L30 would be around 1.6x louder. I’ll check voltages shortly

Even +9db max volume it’s not that loud. Compared to something like a Chord Mojo I used a while back, that thing was 3x as loud, and it’s portable. Was kind of expecting similar volumes with the L30
