[bahamot]

From the Topping facebook, it will be available next week.

A pure portable balanced amp is in development.

will it be a DAC-AMP combo? Bluetooth?

 

[Human Bass]

Looks like another solid offering from Topping. How does it compare with the A50 though? Does it have as much power?

Also, since A50s is coming out, is it an A90 with less power?

More power than the SE, less than balanced.

Yeah, the A50S can be seen as a mini A90. No xlr in, only rca.

Picture of the silver vs black

I like silver this time.

 

[Quomz]

Was there any word regarding pricing officially? The guesstimates seem always to hint at about the same price as E30.

I agree, the silver just works.
I mean ... I really don't need to replace my Atom, but the L30 integrates so well with the E30.

I also don't need to replace my amp (Aune X7s) but I'll probably buy the L30 just to have a nice little stack

 

[raistlin65]

I'm going to replace my Atom amp with the L30. I used to have an Audio GD NFB-11, and I miss having a toggle for switching between headphones and my speakers. And it's always fun to get new gear

Topping, you design great amps and the build quality is very good. I bought my first topping amp around 2006 in Tokyo and it was great sounding. If I remember correctly. Well, its time for Topping to stop using booing masculine black or silver colros and instead add more color options the way Gashelli does. On my list are Gashelli purple or red with clear, pink, purple fronts, L30 or Hersey red. I am a lady, colors matter since those boxes sit in front of me for 10+ hours at work and at home.

E30 has come with different colors. As well as the incoming L30. There are red, blue, grey on top of black and silver for your choice.

It's very cute. Damn, I might have to get one.

A red L30 ´-- lovely. I could not google the red one up thou.

It would come up a little bit later I suppose. But it's definitely there.

 

[Vini darko]

A red one would contrast nicely with my blue sanskrit. Look forward to seeing some colour way pictures.

i'm not staring at my dac when listening music , it doesn't sound better when looking at it while playing music, in fact, 99 % of the time i have my eyes closed when listening music, meaning.... i'm listening to music, not watchin/looking/staring etc whatever synonym you can come up

Yes, this is what they said on my thread at Head-Fi.

They also posted Topping's usual info:
