I am still sniffing around for a headphone AMP and the market is saturated with confusing names and reviews with 80 pages to read, I got to page 50 of this thread and I'm beaten down.
Could anyone perhaps advise me if the A30 Pro still stacks up (no pun) in 2024? Or are there just better options now?
I am attracted to it's high power for the future proof aspect, and obviously it's exceptional measurements. I don;t need anything fancy, just functional and highest audio
fidelity I can get for my small money. I have EQ APO to adjust baselines to my personal tastes (I also often overdo the low end so headroom and power is attractive to me)
My current DAC is E30 but I understand down the line I can upgrade to balanced to get the most out of the A30 Pro.
Just looking for some up to date info, specially reliability and any issues.
Assume my headphones are respected but hard to drive and may also change.
PS On a totally different note, has anyone found a way to MEASURE damping factor? In anything..
