You can set the volume a little bit lower and you will avoid that wrinkle. Anyway, the music didn't stay at 0dB, probably is very rare music peak of 0dB.
Inter-sample overshoots are a thing.

I guess, still D70's release must dilute DX7s' demand.
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ments-of-the-topping-d70-dac.7694/post-180933@amirm Is there any audible difference between SU-8 and D70 when paired with THX 789 amp?
It does NOT measure similarly. It is better in many regards.- I think one can't say the D70 has worse value than SU-8 because it's $200 more expensive yet measures similarly.
I don't think so. If there was higher output voltage firmware could be changed to reduce the level and with it, distortion. But as it is, the level is at 4 volts so no headroom to take away.- I wonder if the IMD saturation can be fixed with firmware.
There is also the D50 which is supurb and around half the price of this.I don't care too much about those quality of life difference so I'll go for the SU8. I use it for a desktop setup and I just need a DAC with performance decent enough. Seems a bit hard to justify the doubled price for the D70
Yes it does. It has supurb performance and power (despite higher output impedance) and it actually costs $100 less than this DAC-only product.If I’m not mistaken they are different products in that the DX7s includes a balanced headphone amp - and a very good one at that.
I just got a replacement board for my D50 so once I repair it, I will do some comparisons.There is also the D50 which is supurb and around half the price of this.
Infact I'd like to see a comparison of this DAC vs the D50 because going back to look at the original tests of the D50; this D70 doesn't seem much better.
Where is this?And most importantly, is the case grounded? In the best Schiit fashion DX7s' case is not.
Where is this?
I tested mine with a multimeter as per a test on here and didn't find any case grounding issues.In your DX7.

I haven't opened it to confirm though.
I see, maybe it's different on the first gen DX7? I don't have a DX7s.The EGC doesn't land on the chassis in a secure fashion. The conductivity you saw is through PCB traces which will evaporate well before your circuit breaker trips in case of a ground fault. Well, at least it is the case on my DX7s, I had to open it up when I shipped the board for repairs. The EGC lands on the PCB ground plane, that's it. Somehow it escaped Amir's scrutiny, but hey, we all know he is a Topping schill
