100+ Head-Fier
I just received my L30 and set it up. I’ve only listened for short while so far but I’m not sure what I think.
Coming from no amp, this seems harsh to me. The sound may be a little fuller but it also seems shrill and tires out my ears.
I’ll have to listen a lot more before coming to any conclusions. I have used the 6xx with the L30 and it is a great pairing!
I find the L30 to be very linear and technical. It seems like it is shrill, but to me I just see that as detailed. There is definitely no warmth to this amp. I prefer that sound, as I love to hear the details. Coming from no amp as you are, it may take some time for your ears to adjust to the sound.
For reference, the two sources I’ve used are the Xonar DX card in my PC and the Apple dongle connected to my iPhone.
And I’ve only really tested with my A900 and a tiny bit with my M50. My 6XX should arrive next week.
It is very clean and detailed. That may come off as shrill. It’ll take time for your ears to adjust. The 6xx is a great pairing with the L30.
