You don't lose half power.Ok so if you use E30 on the A30Pro you will "loose" half the power is it worth ?

I really doubt that kind of adapter is well suited to be used with balanced TRS to single ended RCA. Could work fine, could work terrible..I already have a good RCA cable. I bought TS to RCA converter like this

It's working. I have been using it for 1 month without issue. The TS adapter will convert the TRS output to unbalanced, this is by design.I really doubt that kind of adapter is well suited to be used with balanced TRS to single ended RCA. Could work fine, could work terrible..
I'd say don't do that. You are shorting out the negative side of the output.It's working. I have been using it for 1 month without issue. The TS adapter will convert the TRS output to unbalanced, this is by design.
I see, points noted.I'd say don't do that. You are shorting out the negative side of the output.
You don't lose half power.
Firstly the input voltage only changes the level. The circuit is still the same. Even though you don't get the "full power" it doesn't matter does it? It's not any different than having a volume knob turned down a bit.So even using E30 to feed the A30Pro, the power output of the A30Pro 4.4 and 6.35 will be the same as using an XLR balanced DAC ?
Yes. That's passthrough. You only get what you feed to it.Guys did I misunderstood something? so RCA input can play Rca out only? because I tried E30 DAC rca to A30pro and balanced out to power speakers and there was no sound... or did I do something wrong?
Trs to XLR cables are new just bought them.
Please can you explain it to me what is passthrough? so it literally passthrough the signal from DAC to the speaker, the amp did not enhance the sound even just a little bit?Yes. That's passthrough. You only get what you feed to it.
Yes. Simple wire connection basically.Please can you explain it to me what is passthrough? so it literally passthrough the signal from DAC to the speaker, the amp did not enhance the sound even just a little bit?
Pass-through is passive. Pre-amp is active/converting. A30 Pro does not have an active pre-amp functionality.Please can you explain it to me what is passthrough? so it literally passthrough the signal from DAC to the speaker, the amp did not enhance the sound even just a little bit?
So that's where D30pro comes I assume if you have(want) this combo, right?Pass-through is passive. Pre-amp is active/converting. A30 Pro does not have an active pre-amp functionality.
A90 has preamp output. A30pro doesn't.So that's where D30pro comes I assume if you have(want) this combo, right?
A90 is the same in this manner?
Yes, RCA input can only bypass RCA (unblanaced) out. If you want bypass to balanced out, you need to XLR (Balanced) as input.Guys did I misunderstood something? so RCA input can play Rca out only? because I tried E30 DAC rca to A30pro and balanced out to power speakers and there was no sound... or did I do something wrong?

The power is the same for 16 ohm. You lose a bit at 32ohm and eventually about half at 300ohm.
Do you listen at full volume or need that power? If yes, then it's important for you. Otherwise, it's not a big deal. You always use volume control to reduce the volume right? However the same is true that you don't need to buy an amp just because it has high power output.Apologies if I come across ignorant, but how is not getting “full power” an issue if power is cut by half for 300 ohm headphones? I don’t want to get into a debate about how much power a 300 ohm headphone needs but cutting power by half is significant no?
