You're missing the point. That's a headphone amp that can do a bit of pre amping. I am talking about a dedicated pre amp.TOPPING L70 is balanced
Not a dac with a bit of pre amp, not a headphone amp with a bit of pre amp, not a streamer with a bit of pre amp. Just a pre amp. You don't know how nice it is until you used one. I still miss my Yamaha C-2.
Fosi should not try to compete with Topping and SMSL. Those are already disruptors.
If I want a dedicated pre amp now, I am paying (a lot) more for it than for 2 V3 mono's + E30 + L30. That's not worth it for just nicer volume control and dedicated buttons instead of multifunction.
But if you could have a dedicated pre for the price of a good dac, that would be awesome. It doesn't really exist. Plenty of choice if you want to spend a lot, but no options if you don't want to pay more than the price of 2 V3 mono's.
