Description

The E70V comes with a remote controller, a BT antenna, and a USB-A to USB-B cable along with a couple of manuals.

Digital inputs included USB, coaxial, and optical; I only evaluated the unit using the USB input, which featured the highest level of file and bit-rate compatibility of the three available choices. Listening to Moonlight 3rd Movement (Presto Agitato) in Hi-Res by Yundi revealed an incredibly black and noiseless background. The E70 doubles as a preamplifier, allowing you to control the output volume of destination monitors on its front panel or with the included remote control from -99dB to 0dB.

Topping took by storm the affordable audio market by releasing interesting desktop and portable units, their DX and D line are still very popular among audio enthusiasts.

To get even better sound quality from Bluetooth, Topping abandon the built-in DAC of the QCC5125 Bluetooth receiver IC and connected this digital signal to the ES9028PRO to decode.With the L70, Topping offers a highly engineered balanced NFCA headphone amplifier and preamplifier combo that delivers excellent sonic performance and is suitable for a wide range of use scenarios. Forget USB, it sounded even more impressive, it actually kicked a tad harder, carried just a bit more air with every note. so both were volume matched in no time, with a press on the HPA4 touch-screen I would choose one or another. To get you started TOPPING has also designed their versatile headphone amplifier, the L70, to be a perfect match for the E70 Velvet. I'd definitely attribute that to the more straightforward path of the E70 V's VELVETSOUND chip implementation, and thanks to Robert Devcic for flagging me with regard to defeating the unit's internal volume control.

I'm no stranger to RME (I have an UFX), but I personally feel this is where Topping is failing to compete. I've been writing for the audio trade for twenty-plus years now, I maintain a fairly high profile, and I currently contribute regularly to a number of reputable audiophile web publications. It is a rare sight when an audio manufacturer is publishing actual audio performance measurements in the user manual. That's not to say that the combined files are converted to PCM—but no one knows exactly what happens. 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.

Since D70 has the same depth as Benchmark HPA4 and almost the same width, I decided to use it not only with my KEF LS50W active loudspeaker system but in a headphone-based setup as well.
