How to connect Topping E30 to L30 and integrated amplifier?

[JohnYang1997]

What is gonna be the output voltage of L30's RCA at 0db? The usage of a splitter will not affect the perceived impedance from the output?

Your input voltage. No issue.

The only problem is the signal won't be identical in the different instances. Probably not audible, but if you want to be certain, you may need to spend more money.

quality loss

Will be in the integrated amp... better signal path from DAC to poweramp.

I have two inputs (E30 or CD/SACD Player) and two outputs (L30 or PA3 Amp). I use the JDS Labs OL Switcher. In your case, you can also use the OL Switcher for output switching only (i.e. L30 or integrated amp). Even if I don't need input switching, I prefer it this way than the other options mentioned in this thread (i.e. using the pre-amp out of L30 or Y splitter) for various reasons, but this is a more expensive option. Loss of sound quality should be minimal.
