Topping L30+DT770-80ohm+Panasonic CD player: VOLUME BALANCING

[Phlebas]

Hi there,

Finally I discovered, as a noob, the best forum section where I can post a thread.

Thanks to Solderdude who yesterday helped me, today I can enjoy my first headphones amp.

Spoiler: Topping L30 brings the DT770 to a literally new dimension of listening experience.

Straight to the point: Ho can I balance the volume between L30 and the source?

Is it better to put the source on maximum volume and control from the L30 knob or viceversa?

At now I am with 30/50 with source and 3/4 knob rotation on Topping with GAIN set on +9 db.

Considering that Topping L30 goes a bit warm after less than one hour in use, I ask if charging max volume on the source will mean less heat.

Thanks in advance for any help

PS: any other tip, suggestion, shared experience about using an headphones amp will be welcome

The source should be full and control the volume from the amp.By the way how do you find the L30 with the 770 i have the custom studio 80 ohm i was thinking buying the l30 for them.
