It's because reduced noise not separation. So no.
Sometimes sarcasm doesn't come through very well over the internet.:confused: Although I was half serious about the RGB version.

To change the gain 4 resistors in total needs to be changed. Four 100R 1206 0.1% (two per channel) should be changed to 374R 1206 0.1%. The ones from output to feedback not the ones to the ground.
And obviously void the warranty right?

I don't know but it seems people are a little frenetic with RGB these last years. Only my keyboard has RGB (we used to call it backlit :v) but for functional reasons (I use my pc with low room lighting). About separation, is it that bad (mine L30 hasn't arrived yet)? It's crosstalk is lower than Atom's and I have no problem with this one related to separation...

I think so. Not very sure about whether the obligation in US applies to import goods or not. And in the end unless you sue the company it's up to them.

I'm planning to order the same combo from there. I've asked them about when will be the L30 available and they told me, the expected date is the end of the month.

Nice. At least you got some feedback. Maybe you should order only when you see stock is avaiable on their website.

I've asked them about another topic before and they replied fast that time too. Yes I will order when they have in stock.

Well I guess your sarcasm came out of the wrong gap of your body, which I presume is definitely not your mouth :p

Anyone know where the L30 is being sold right now? I checked Amazon, but it doesn't ship until October.

The L30 is still having some serious supply chain issues. I ordered a E30/L30 pair from Apos Audio on August 7th, and the ship date was listed as August 10th when the order was placed. That date slipped to August 26th, and now it's slipped AGAIN to August 29th. I'm in the U.S., and my order is shipping to me directly from the Apos "fulfillment center" in Shenzhen, China.

Bummer. Guess I will just have to wait.

Either Topping has very limited production capacities, or they are flying off the shelves.
It would be interesting to see sales numbers for different manufacturers offerings in comparison.

The same orifice as your listening impressions. You cannot reasonably expect to come to this site, claim that you heard a wider soundstage between 2 sonically transparent amps (Atom & L30), and not have someone call bs. The phenomenon of "soundstage" is one that exists in our imagination, with the most important factors being the headphones and mastering of the recording.

After contemplating a lot about my needs I decided that I am not ready to buy balanced cables in bulk to convert my gear and ordered L30 from China. Hoping for a good unit. My future plan is to use it with 9038D if it will have line-out (Home DAC mode?). It will be possible if I understood correctly (I hope I did). All I need is clarity, nothing else. Waiting mode activated.
