It is an aluminum one...Has anyone replaced the volume knob of the A30Pro with an aluminium one?
Kinda toying with this idea. It was a quite simple and fast modification on the SMSL SP200, just yank of the plastic knob and replace it with a different one. Wondering if this works with the A30Pro to, don't want to yank at the knob and break something
OK, thanks for the reply.It is an aluminum one...
And don't do it for A30pro it will damage the potentiometer making it loose.
So you think it's little short. Ah ok. It's already longer than A90 but it seems the knob is still not big enough.OK, thanks for the reply.
I see wasn't really clear in my last post but I meant the thickness of the knob as I know the knob on the A30Pro is aluminium.
(the knob on the SP200 wasn't)
I suppose making the perfect volume knob is an impossible task. The Asgard 3 has a great volume knob if you want something to grip and turn with force. I prefer the finesse in using the A30Pro volume knob over the Asgard. Making the A30Pro's volume knob longer might remove some of the two finger delicateness which could be countered by making the volume knob stiffer. So maybe most people want an Asgard 3 style volume knob?So you think it's little short. Ah ok. It's already longer than A90 but it seems the knob is still not big enough.
Kinda funny when you think about it..So you think it's little short. Ah ok. It's already longer than A90 but it seems the knob is still not big enough.
The importance of the feel of the volume knob cannot be underestimated now that most manufacturers have mastered the art of making transparent headphone amplifiers. My biggest pet peeve are volume knobs that are placed too close to the headphone jack. While the Asgard 3 solved this issue compared to other Schiit amplifiers, it still suffers from a less annoying issue that I have experienced with the Valhalla 2 and the Lyr 3 - the physical resistance that the volume knob offers is completely different depending on the operating temperature of the amplifier.I suppose making the perfect volume knob is an impossible task.

I mentioned this earlier and it is certainly an annoyance using the A30Pro. Of course, if I was using the balanced headphone out this wouldn't be an issue, but all the different outputs have to be fitted somewhere I guess.My biggest pet peeve are volume knobs that are placed too close to the headphone jack.

What a joke from SBAF!On that note, is there any particular reason you guys won't adopt the digital control volume knob with relays on the amps? Is that an exclusivity to DAC/amp combos? I know some people just love analog and "infitiny" intervals, but following your measurement philosophy I can't see a reason why you wouldn't adopt a solution which implies (AFAIK) perfect matching (and leaves less contingency to QC, like the L30 unit Marv got over SABAF).
D10 Balanced for full powerAnyone know how good this would pair with an e30? Would buying a d30 pro be a better choice?
Would you say its worth returning my e30 for the d10?D10 Balanced for full power
If you have A30Pro, D10 is much higher valueWould you say its worth returning my e30 for the d10?
Still kinda new to this hobby does running a balanced connection on the a30 pro mean i cant use the single ended port?If you have A30Pro, D10 is much higher value
