Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

[raif71]

I meant from the earphone/headphones. If it's just relay clicking physically. That's 100% normal.

Yeah, sorry for making more confusion. Thanks @JohnYang1997

Is the 'tick' sound coming from the amp itself or is it audible in the head/ear-phone ?
Coming from the amp its normal (but faint).
Coming from the amp try it with the volume turned all the way down as well to see if it is gone.
The higher the efficiency the more likely you could hear a 'tick' in the headphone.

It's definitely not normal neither on L30 nor on THX 789.

Wait, that's not normal? Oh man... My L30 always make a tick sound when I switch it on.

It's not loud, but audible... Batch no. 2010622412

Edit: Stupid me.. Went to test my amp to make sure and didn't read more posts before hitting send.. Mine is definitely the relay clicking *phew*

Sorry didn't see your message. I just finished typing a long message. Yes the sound is coming from my AMP and not headphones. I feel like I should have made it clear. After turning on my amp, it makes 1 CLICK noise. No clicking noises from headphones

It turns on. Think of it as a greeting.

Yeah, my D10 does it too (the physical click, not into speakers) and I absolutely love it.

All Topping gears I have does this click.
Also Focusrite Clarett does that.

On my case the tick comes only from the right side (headphone) when the signal comes back after I give it some taps on it. I think it may be a falty relay because if the tap is a little harder the amp keeps working fine for a longer period and if it is not so strong it seems the relay doesn't not make contact right. I thinking about opening this again and do a continuity test on the relays contacts...

[Giangi71]

Not really clear because I'm in Italy and send it to Shenzhen costs more than the device!!!

Ciao collega,
Shenzhen is very reliable. On the issue of shipping you can rest assured.

Well the December batch won't be enough to exchange all l30 and many won't do it anyways, so very time the l30 is going to stay in the talks because the blow ups won't stop soon.
