    Come on, there is no way to prove different sound without measuring them, right? Not a long time ago our knowledge of aerodynamics was so poor, that there was no way to explain why bumblebee can fly, it was against physics

    Review and Measurements of the Topping D70 DAC

    RME has much better bass, solid, more focused, so there was no mistakes in my guesses. Test material was track Arroyo from The Mask album by Erik Truffaz. My wife agreed to change d70 to adi 2 after listening sessions without a word - difference was so obvious.

    I compared it to AK4490 DAC, not Sabre. For me bass was too weak, otherwise DAC is perfect.

    I don't recommend buying this without listening session. It's not bad at all, but has very specific soft sound.

    Yep, I know what ABX is. I don't have equipment to match levels and perform fast DAC swapping. Can you please stop thinking everyone else less smart than yourself, it's not acceptable.

    Yeah, I'm not scientist at all, let's wait for someone with required hardware to perform ABX.

    I know what ABX is, thank you, no need your advice about what forum should I visit also. I have only active speakers for now, ABX is not an option.

    Rebecca's Pidgeon "Raven" and Buena Vista Social Club albums a great for this purpose. Any other well recorded acoustic guitar and piano should be ok.

    Acoustic guitar and piano sounds better without hump, more details and more natural sound, vocals also. It's not distortion like noise, pops and so on.

    No, I don't have equipment to record it. It's not big deal to visit local dealer and compare these DAC's by yourself if you're interested.
