Product Information

Thereby, combining them into a "shared language" that slightly diminishes the overall quality of native DSD playback. Music is at the core of what we do; and it's our aim to help you rediscover your music and help you enjoy the riffs, basslines and solos that were always there, but never heard. The 12V Trigger interface on the E70 Velvet can be configured for active control (Trigger out) or passive control (Trigger in).

There’s a power switch in the back next to the power cable should you wish to power it down completely for longer periods of time. Topping has used its usual anodized metallic paint on the E70V and like almost all other Topping devices, the device looks very elegant up close. You then press and hold the volume knob until "8-8" appears on screen, indicating that the E70 V is now set up and has saved your selections. A bit of this review will be a copy and paste from the E70/L70 review since the only real difference here is the sound performance of the new AKM DAC being used in the E70V. I find the difference in DAC sound signature to have a minor to moderate impact when it comes to the sound chain.The mids are very accurate but instruments sound fast and dont feel hazy or bland sounding like I’ve heard on older AKM designs. These elements were considered; by a team of engineers that integrated the flagship DAC chips, AK4499EX + AK4191 from AKM, into the E70 Velvet's circuitry. In this mode you can control the output as you would a normal preamp by adjusting either the front panel knob or remote control allowing greater flexibility. I listened to countless albums over the evaluation process, far too many to detail my impressions of each in a Topping versus Gustard scenario.

I will start off by saying both have very close sound performance to my ears and the sound signatures off both are ever so slightly different with their overall presentation. There gap between optical and USB is not that big anymore, how I felt it on different digital sources. And I've had reviews published in industry-standard print publications; one of them has the largest circulation of any audiophile magazine in the world.It is lacking the TRS output, so those with different Topping Amps might run into issues if they wish to run balanced to their TRS input amps.

The refunded amount may be slightly different from your original national currency payment due to Currency Exchange rates varying, HiFiGo is not responsible for the difference. D70 has a speedy presentation when it comes to bass, it hits fast and hard but doesn’t vibrate more than needed. Please note that the package might get opened for checking at customs in your country to inspect the cargo. Which is why I exclusively use the Topping stack now when I need to do listening via my iPad or Macbook.The E70 V's back panel is very well laid-out, and features the main power switch, a standard IEC power input, inputs for a 12V trigger and pass-through, and the connection socket for the Bluetooth antenna.
