Nope.You didn't understand. What I'm telling you those wires (to let there like that) are wrong, as is supposed to be a marketing material.

Should I get this D70s ?
I already have D90 without MQA. Wolf mentioned that multitone at low frequency has better SNR...
He just explained the chassis needs to be opened to take a picture of the (partially dis-assembled) board...You didn't understand. What I'm telling you those wires (to let there like that) are wrong, as is supposed to be a marketing material in first place.
It's just that, an achievement. No need to buy it if you already own D90, haha. Can't obsess over every little measurement ;pWolf mentioned that multitone at low frequency has better SNR...
Because when the D70 released, at the time none of the Topping DACs had that mode available, not one..What is that? I don't understand why the cheaper E30 would have true DSD volume bypass but the more expensive model does not.
Yeah pretty sure it's bugfixed.I purchased a D70 when they first came out and have always had a problem playing 768Khz. Unit would lose lock after a few minutes and I would get a white noise blast at full volume. Not pleasant and potentially damaging .with a full range system. I conceded to simply playing 705Khz max, but always gave it a try with each successive driver update. With the latest update (version 5.0) I am able to continually play 768Khz with no problems. Can anyone that has also had this problem please confirm this. Thanks Topping--keeping my fingers crossed.

On D70 you can choose DAC Mode for DSD, which bypasses the preamp mode (PCM volume control).

YesI wonder why they even have volume control on a product like the D70. Do people really use it as a pre-amp?
Yep, sure did. I didn't like the SQ from the D70 though.I wonder why they even have volume control on a product like the D70. Do people really use it as a pre-amp?
I'd be incredibly surprised..Can clearly hear the difference running DAC in pre mode, less presence of soundstage.
No you're not wrong. The driver will do nothing when not using it over USB. Also, it only brings stability on latest/modern operating systems.I have a question. I have my D70 in the main system and is being fed via coax. Do I need to update the driver? I noticed Topping has released new ones for the D70 on Aug 6. The D70 hasn't been hooked up w/ USB in 6 months or so. My assumption the driver is only for USB input. Am I wrong?
Veri, thank you the reply. You are one of the most helpful members on ASR.No you're not wrong. The driver will do nothing when not using it over USB. Also, it only brings stability on latest/modern operating systems.
I had the exact same problem with my Topping D70S. It ran flawlessly for about 2 weeks then completely died. The device was really warm to the touch when it spontaneously failed with a prominent acrid smell that followed.It just went silent with blank display at some point and stayed this way regardless of the amount of tinkering I've tried. I was listening to it in my system for about two hours straight when this happened. Checked the fuse (yes, D70 power socket has a fuse installed), tried replacing power cord, nothing worked. The vendor will be sending it to Topping for diagnostics but I have already requested a refund. This is my third issue with the Topping products and I do not feel like buying from this company anymore. Of course, this could as well be my own personal bad luck, so YMMV. In fact, my DX3 Pro (second replacement unit) has been working fine for the past 6 months and I like it. Except for the random shutdowns which were harmless so far.
P.S. I was using XLR outputs on D70 if that matters, with the output level set at -10 dB.
