Topping dx3 pro + L30 II

[davidebond]

Hi. What if I connect a Topping dx3 pro with a Topping L30 II to drive a Sennheiser HD 650? It could sound very stupid and indeed it is, but if it is true that the L30 II (not the first version) has such power, I could use the dx3 as pre-amp.
Thanks and best,
Davide

I'm listening to the HD6xx right now with a Topping LII driven by an E50 DAC with RCA cable. I just sold a DX3Pro+ yesterday and it's got the power for those, just the LII will have headroom to easily do a -6 preamp reduction if you equalize with an Autoeq profile which I'm doing too. At 1 o'clock in high gain with plenty of room left. An E30 will do great too, just never use a fast charger for power or you'll brick it.
I'd first get the DX3Pro+ and then see if it's loud enough, then if you need more power add the L30II later. I really like the original E30 if it's got the connections you need. Sometimes used you can steal one.

According to my opinion, It Is loud enough. In fact, I listen at -6.00 and for me it is strong. I feel that it lack of spatiality. Only that.

I use already the dx3 pro. I bought the jds Lab atom, but I need something more warm.
