Depends where you order the L30. Be careful. Check with the shop if it's EU.
Doesn't matter if they get warm for as I know... non issue, unless you plan to put them in a closet where the heat can't get away.
This may be an odd question but can a headphone amp like the L30 power a set of computer speakers?
I currently have an old 5.1 set of crappy Logitech speakers (Z-5300) which I have hooked up to the Xonar DX sound card in my PC.
The way the system works is that there are three 3.5 mm cables going from the Xonar to the Logitech subwoofer (front, center, rear), and then the subwoofer has 5 female outputs, which the 5 satellite speakers are plugged into (they look like RCA connectors, but I’m not sure if it’s some proprietary thing).
What I’m wondering is if it’s possible to plug the L30 into my sound card, take the two front speakers and plug them into the L30 preamp, and then I’ll have a selector between headphones and computer speakers, all working off my Xonar, via the Topping L30.
I think that subwoofer has a build in amp with volume control? Then you can probably connect it to the L30. You need active speakers to connect to L30. Check if they are active.

Yeah, it’s rated at 280 watts, which seems massive for mediocre computer speakers. Each speaker is 35.3 watts, with the center being 39 and the sub being 100. That seems like an awful lot of power for what this is.
My above proposed setup was that I’d just get rid of the sub, center, and two rear speakers, and just use the front L and R. But what you’re saying makes more sense. After all, it’s specifically a preamp in the L30.
So how would that work, 3.5 to RCA from the Xonar to L30 and then RCA to 3.5 from the L30 preamp to Logitech subwoofer (amp)?
I don’t know a lot about cables. Do I have to worry about sound degradation or can I grab any $10 RCA cables from Amazon?

I just got my HD6xx delivered. Running them with my LG V40, Tidal MQA sounds way way better than Spotify Premium. Even tho i updated my Phone to Android 10 and MQA is no longer native... Tried for example with Roberta Flack's "The first time ever i saw your face".
On Spotify it's like she's singing in the far corner of the Hall. Her voice is really thin sounding. On Tidal it's like she's in my head. LOL her voice has more "body"?
The old recording noise which is characteristic is greater or Spotify too.
Btw, i cannot max the Volume on Tidal, cuz my ears would blow out, but i still think the hd6xx are npt playing to it's full potential and the L30 would help.
My question is: the L30/E30 Stack has no MQA support... Will i lose out on quality, or will it still sound better than Spotify because songs have a higher bitrate on Tidal?
I purchased my Topping E30 / Topping L30 stack November 10, from Amazon from seller SHENZHENAUDIO. The Topping L30 amplifier amplifier was only $118.99 on sale. However, I had to return my Topping L30 amplifier to Amazon today. It malfunctioned and destroyed the drivers in my Sony headphones. The headphone drivers were making crackling and popping noises on my ears. I unplugged them but too late and now they are fried. This is a darned shame because the Topping L30 made most every headphone sound very good compared to many other $100 amps. The Topping L30 made my Sony MDR-CD780 sound better than any headphone I have ever heard in my life. No other amp has ever done this. I am tempted to get another or possibly try get the Topping A90. (Stay FAR away from Chi-Fi!) This is not the first time I have been burned by buying poorly made Chinese electronics. I once purchased a $500 DAC that only lasted three months. Luckily the Topping E30 DAC still functions and sounds great. (Returned this cheap Chi-Fi as well.)
