Do you need a headphone amp for mixing on headphones in 2022? (Inc my new Topping L30)

BEST BUDGET HEADPHONE AMP FOR MIXING ON HEADPHONES 2021?? || Topping L30 headphone amplifier review Mixing on headphones has become so popular these days to the point where mixing engineers and audio engineers alike are investing in expensive studio headphones and even high fidelity hi-res audio headphone amps to drive their budget headphones for more clarity, transients and depth. I purchased the topping L30 headphone amplifier on ebay for under £100 and i was advised the topping over spl phonitor and rupert neve. For the price the topping offers high resolution audio and also more power for driving planar headphones. All you require is 240V AC adapter power and 2 RCA to 1/4 TS audio cables (mines are neo oyaide d+ RTS class B) I connect the topping via the audient id14 audio interface line outs. I also use the audient mixer software to control my input levels from the computer into the DAC. In comparison to the audient headphone outs the topping has less THD+N and has a lot more dynamic range. 🌠SUPPORT THE CHANNEL https://www.patreon.com/mixingwedesdays 🏷️ PRODUCT LINKS https://www.electromod.co.uk/products/ToppingUK/Topping_Headphone_Amplifiers/Topping-L30-Headphone-Amplifier/ https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Neo-Oyaide-dand-RTS-Class-B-1-4TS-to-RCA-1-Metre/1YHN https://www.thomann.de/gb/audient_id14_mkii.htm?partner_id=94442 🎶 FOLLOW MY DEBUT ALBUM JOURNEY https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmcBOB8VmXMK_ekWdZmgO5HELFQf3ukZW 🎤 RELEASING A SONG?
