    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    At first I was annoyed that it will fry my headphones, avoided that with luck, and had to wait 3 weeks for the replacement. Then replacement just stops working by itself in time when I need it a lot. Now IF the seller will believe me I'll have to wait more to use another unit that can die...

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    It was one of the first requested replacements so there was no fix. Only later I started to read that another fix has been implemented but my unit was already on the way. I felt an electrostatic discharge on my finger (for the first time in so many years) when I switched the gain today but it...

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    I'd also like to join fried L30 club. My replacement unit (2012xxx) silently died today. The old one still works but I won't use it again of course. Requested help from the seller. Big sigh.

    Why E-Ink not used more often for the DAC display?

    It will allow respectable manufacturers to pre upload e-books inside the DACs and describe it as a sound changing feature. Sound signature will of course change because of the synergy. For $1k more you will be able to upload your own books to change the sound signature. But the best sound will...

    MEIZU Hifi Pro USB-C Phone Dongle DAC Review

    Thanks, I had no idea and checked it with my D10s. Windows slider is synchronized with Topping driver volume output control. Tempted to use keyboard media volume binds instead of L30 volume pot from now on because I'm too lazy to reach it with my hand sometimes. Do I lose some "bitperfection"...

    Help explain the differences between Open/Closed Headphones and why you prefer one over the other?

    Something tells me that custom in-ear monitors will probably help you to perceive the sound better, especially considering your hearing loss. Better seal, less diffusion.

    DACs and midrange performance (i.e. voices playback)

    I recommend famous Italian "Risperidone" DAC series. Not expensive.

    Amp and Dac recomendations

    L30 has more than enough power for the majority of existing headphones. No alternative budget options with great specs for many people due to location, shipping costs and availiability.

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    I can explain. ESS Sabre sounds bright and detailed because they have three "S" letters. AKM sounds neutral, warmer, because they have the Velvet Sound. Cirrus Logic sounds musical and engaging because one guy said that once and another guy repeated after him. Hope that helps.

    Objectivist friendly and wallet friendly IEM?

    Whirlwind type eartips are recommended in this case. Very shallow insertion/wide bore. You can find them on aliexpress in packages or as a pair.

    Recommend Opamp Upgrades for Xduoo XD-05 Plus and Aune X8

    Your examples are very tame and accurate, don't worry. I think it's just conformity, simple as that. And audiofoolia has one of the worst examples of it.

    Recommend Opamp Upgrades for Xduoo XD-05 Plus and Aune X8

    I admire how opamp rollers have reached the consensus about the sound changes and all their impressions tell the same story. What a strong community. OPA: clinical, analytical sound (better technicalities), they are "operational" after all. NJR MUSES: more musical sound (of course), wider...

    SPL Phonitor X Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    Indeed, a cardiac arrest after seeing this performance for the price is not impossible.

    When is a broken panther justified?

    It would be an earless panther award.

    Gold Planar GL2000 worth it or just Hype?

    Just get Ananda open box/during sales and leave experiments to others.

    Better audio solution for gaming / music / maybe DAW?

    Hello. Get rid of all HyperX 360 Predator L33T Terminator gear. Modern in-ears are very good for games, even not expensive ones will give you good positioning and isolation. Get some USB dongle type amp/dac and check there's any improvement. If you want something solid right away then say what's...
