About this deal

Just to report an update after a few weeks of listening paired with the DBR-62s, I have to say that is quite amazing the power that this little beast delivers to the speakers without even getting warm after few listening hours. When it comes to speaker pairings, the more energetic nature of the A30 has to be taken into account. Controls using the remote control are intuitive and allow for full control over all the options that are available with the A30. Similarly, instrument quality is flowier with the L30 which makes instruments like violins and cellos sound more natural. It is therefore concluded that breaking-in headphones for consumers is not necessary, and won't result in any noticeable change in their sound.

Please could someone confirm us that the usb imput will use alc4050 as dac chip and NOT use dac chip es9023? The Loxjie A30 is an attractive, solid performance with excellent measured and subjective sound quality. A high torque car will push you way back into your seat, think Tesla's with instant torque and a lot of it. To cut it short, except for the more powerful amp, there’s not much that K5 Pro can offer in this comparison. This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions.Having a full-color IPS display on the front fascia of the device allows the D30 to display most of the pertinent information while the DAC is on. To ensure that the A30 will have enough power to run all these features, it comes bundled with an external 24V/2. On the front you get the multi-colour IPS display, the headphone output and one single knob that controls not only the volume but all the menu options, too. Could anyone tell me if there would likely be a significant improvement in my listening experience if I also opt for the Loxjie D30 which utilises the more respected AK4493 chip instead?

Although there is a headphone amplifier section on the D30, there isn’t an option to bypass the internal DAC on the D30.The DA-9 can also end up having a busier menu system, since there are backgrounds that look nice, but may become a hindrance when viewing it from a distance. I wasn't super impressed wit it, but it worked, and had a decent grip on lower frequencies for my speakers. It features excellent components for great sound reproduction and full connectivity for easy integration into the vast majority of audio systems.

Khadas Tone 2 Pro out of the box sounds a little bit neater in the bass-line but not as open up top. Because the BT antenna is mounted at a right angle and cannot be swung out, it's imperative that you mount the antenna first, before plugging in any other connections. You could find the specs and identify the exact DAC chips in the 2 devices, and probably find people on the web discussing the differences.The stereo connections for the speakers are best served with banana plus as the posts can only take speaker cables up to 2. However, it added more weight to the bass while losing out on the speed of the attack resulting in a more sluggish presentation comparatively.

The box has D30’s artwork on the top side and it looks better than ordinary boxes of SMSL and Topping. Overall, there are some smart choices, and some compromises to ensure that there is enough space in the rear to accommodate the available inputs and outputs on the A30. Despite having a larger footprint while having fewer input options, the DA-9 still ends having an equally crowded speaker terminal section. When the device is first activated, there is a screen that shows the volume level, output mode, input mode, and the sample rate/status of that input.There are 2 main ways to interact with the A30, the first is directly going through the menu using the volume knob on the device. Although the upper treble is not rolled off, it isn’t particularly emphasized either allowing tracks with natural airiness to shine through, while not introducing any unnatural airiness into the recording. To have cleaner power going into the DAC circuit, the D30 has an internal PSU that can be connected using the standard IEC power lead.
