No need for such statements.L30 exists. So no need for a jds labs.

Why ? Objectively jds labs offers nothing more thr topping. Topping is available with amazon prime.No need for such statements.
It is an American-based and manufactured, humble company with good philosophy and excellent customer support. I can't say a single bad thing about JDS Labs.Why ? Objectively jds labs offers nothing more thr topping. Topping is available with amazon prime.
That's the point. Isn't normal it breaks out of nothing. It breaks from your own weight and gravity. The plastic is too thin and not good quality.
I'm just catching up with this thread. Why would somebody put their weight on the transformer for the Atom???

What nonsense.Why ? Objectively jds labs offers nothing more thr topping. Topping is available with amazon prime.
It's a 6 of one and a half dozen of the other situation. The JDS Labs offers multiple inputs, has lots of power and is clean enough to consider it as transparent as the Topping and has not had a any factory recall for issues. The Topping has a nicer faceplate, 3 gain settings instead of 2, slightly better specs beyond your hearing ability and has had issue with electrostatic discharge causing damage to it. I like them both but I would not gamble on the Topping atm because of the ESD situation and not knowing if this issue is fixed long term.Excellent features' summary. Thanks.
But mesurement here says topping destroys the atom. Should i belive your ears or the measurements?What nonsense.
The Atom predates the L30 and there are many contended owners (myself included). It offers nothing more, but also nothing less. Actually, that's not true. I hear rumours that earlier models of the L30 can fry your headphones. That's one thing that it does and the Atom doesn't.
If you could point me in the direction of a live link to the L30 on Amazon Prime then I'd be grateful. Can't find it myself
Look at the amps performance measurements also. Not just features. I dont have more than one source and a headphone. So none of this matters to a person like me. I am in Europe and jds dont sell it here for 99 bucks. So warranty claim means lot of money for me. Amazon germany sells topping with prime and they come up with 2 year warranty.JDL Labs Atom:
-RCA preamp output.
-Connect up to two sources and select between 3.5mm and RCA input with the push of a button.
-Relay muting eliminates pops and thumps during startup.
-Low gain of 1.0x is well suited to driving efficient IEMs, while high gain 4.5x easily powers demanding full size sets when paired with a 2VRMS DAC.
-4-layer PCB, star grounded layout.
-Potentiometers are hand matched as of May 2020 for optimal channel balance.
Topping L30:
-RCA preamp output.
-Connect one source.
-Relay muting eliminates pops and thumps during startup.
-+/- 9 dB of gain adjustment.
That Atom and the L30 are both so good that they are transparent and it's unlikely that anybody could hear a difference.But mesurement here says topping destroys the atom. Should i belive your ears or the measurements?
2 years warranty is very good.Look at the amps performance measurements also. Not just features. I dont have more than one source and a headphone. So none of this matters to a person like me.

I am hearing that rumour for the first time. And jdsWhat nonsense.

Right now its sold out in amazon but still can find it here:https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/sede...plifier-preamplifier-nfca-silver-p-14705.html2 years warranty is very good.
As are topping's, btw-Potentiometers are hand matched for optimal channel balance.
I added that to my commentary.As are topping's, btw
The measurements show that, under normal listening conditions, there will be no audible differences between the L30 and the Atom. My ears don't come into it.But mesurement here says topping destroys the atom. Should i belive your ears or the measurements?
Sorry, I was being a bit facetious. It's more than a rumour, it's well documented on this site. Luckily it hasn't directly affected many people's headphones and Topping have now acted to remedy the problem.I am hearing that rumour for the first time. And jds
