I literally just bought a topping l30 II, with the sole purpose off controlling the volume with a cool ass knob

The L30 had a smooth ass knob. But I switched to the DX3 Pro+ for the bluetooth and way way smaller wall adapter. Did not notice anything different in sound.

That's good to know, it seemed smooth on the pics, but that wall adapter be thicc indeed. Plugging it on the power strip will be a challenge. My first thought was to go for the DX3 pro+, or the fiio k7, but I Already own a soundblaster g6, which already has a pretty good dac built in. Honestly, I've always wanted a lil dac/amp "stack" so I plan on getting a red E30II to go with my black L30II once my g6 dies (not that I wish for it to die)

I got the K7, it uses a laptop style charger where the wall plig is normal and there's a box in the middle of the cable

Do you find having to use 3.5mm annoying? I wanted to sidegrade from a schiit magni/apple dongle, for the bluetooth and additional control/inputs. But i find the 3.5mm headphone port to be a deal breaker. If it was quarter inch it would be the perfect dac/amp. Im thinking of going for the DX5 instead but im not sure if its worth the additional $200+

Not at all. Might just be me, but I previously had a HarmonicDyne Zeus used on the L30 - and it was so annoying! It terminated in 4.4, and you had to use an adapter to 3.5mm, then an adapter to quarter inch. It was one giant dong. Now both my HD600 and Salnotes Zero terminate in 3.5, and I just simply don't find anything wrong when plugging it in.
