Improved NFCA

L30Il uses redesigned NFCA (Nested Feedback Composite Amplifier) module. It provides 2x output power at 300Q load compared to L30.
The new circuit has 0.3uV ultra low noise and 144dB dynamic range as well as 0.00006% THD+N.

Sound quality is never a problem
With the help of NFCA, L30 Il easily reach the top of the industry, and it has almost perfect performance regardless of distortion, dynamic range, and multi- tone testing.

Amp and Preamp - Compatible

Compatible with almost all kinds of headphones

L30 II’s output has high output voltage, high current, low output impedance, so no headphones that can’t be dealt with.
High output voltage can easily drive high impedance headphones; High output current allows low-sensitivity headphones to obtain enough power;
The low output impedance will not bring unnecessary effect on FR when driving low-impedance headphones.
Different headphones can be easily driven by the L30 II.

Low distortion while outputting high power

The L30Il can maintain ultra-low distortion output under high power load.
Under 32 ohm load and 2500mW output, the THD+N is lower than 0.00008%; under 300 ohm load and 300mW output, the THD+N is lower than 0.00007%.

Three gain settings to suit different needs

L30 Il has three gain options: -14dB, 0dB, 16.5dB. Improved gain settings can cover a wider range of needs to meet the needs of different headphones from low-sensitivity full-sized over-ears to high-sensitivity IEMs. With the help of extremely low noise 0.3uV, even IEMs will not hear any background noise.

E30 Il is the best DAC for L30 ll

Best combo for active speakers

We also recommend that L30Il and E30Il be used with active speakers.
Connect the two outputs of L30Il to headphones and active speakers. By switching the outputs of L30Il, you can enjoy music on headphones and active speakers respectively. _esiimsemion,Topping L30 II NFCA Headphone Amp and

  1. Output switch
    Switch to PRE output(RCA output) or HPA output(Headphone output), or turn off.

  2. Gain switch
    H/ M /L respectively corresponds to 16.5dB / 0dB / -14dB

  3. Power indicator
    The light will be always on when the L30 Il is turning on, and goes off when it is turning off, blinks to indicate unexpected output.
