@JohnYang1997

is there a possibility that something like the p50, but for the E30+L30, (a P30?) could make into production?

I can see it for the convenience to power both the dac and the amp with one - very clean - device. Like the P50, It could also use just a IEC cable, so no need for the external bricks, plus no problem for different version of the plugs etc.

Maybe it's just me, but I think that a E30 L30 P30 could be a super nice stack. Anyone?
Nope.

It's to long for me, so that makes us a hard to please crowd... although if I would be a manufacturer I would also just include a regular size cord (extension cords are not that expensive ;))

At last L30 arrived to me! Ordered 30.07 from AliExpress (Shenzhenaudio). Due to lack of the product shop sent L30 only 10.08. PostNL was incredibly slow, I hate them. They did nothing from 17.08 to 27.08. Only 03.09 Amp arrived to Poland, customs sent a request by regular mail-post, bla-bla, payed 29$ tax. And since yesterday evening I'm happy :)
Thank you John, thank you Amir! E30+L30 produces gorgeous sound!
Even with chip earbuds/iems this combo sounds better than Meizu DAC Pro. With HD650 I'm using 0dB gain, knob is 10 to 13 o'clock (13 for declipped tracks and -8.2dB EQ).

Waiting for power amplifier from Topping :p

I've contacted the Polish distributor - they said the L30 should be available in Poland in around a month. Can't wait to lay my hands on it :)

O... okay.
In the first place, why? 1 single power supply with 15VAC and 5VDC output makes very little sense to build as opposed to simply using the 15VAC transformer charger, together with any one samsung or other 5V charger you have at home. Except for the 'elegance' of a single device there is no reason for it to exist? So it won't be created. P50 existed in harmony with D50 and A50 DC-operated devices. " P30 " won't be made sorry to say.

Well, convenience for power, cable management plus 'elegance' sometimes are valuable items, especially when they are not too expensive. But hey, it was just a thought I wanted to share, not the best idea evidently.
