None from topping but I've asked Audiophonics about it.
They may be referring to firmware version 1. 07 that was released a few days ago. I've already installed it on my a70 pro. So far, so good.
Nobody really knows since Topping decided to give us a silent middle finger
It is definitely a scuff that I haven't seen on any of my gear.
That would be interesting to know. Btw when upgrading FW make sure to use a Type C (for A70Pro) to a Type A cable for the computer otherwise the device won't be recognized.
It was surprisingly straight foreword to be honest. Unplug power cable, borrowed my keyboard cable, transfer file and in less than 60 seconds it was back up and running.
It is easy but as previously mentioned here in this thread a Type C to Type C cable wasn't working for me either so I switched to a Type C to regular Type A cable and it instantly worked. The updating process is ridiculously easy to complete
If I've had this kind of experience I would probably not buy anything from Topping for at least 3-4 years
did you get the HP DC error on your A70 pro? what are you driving with it? I've had D10 + JDS Atom stack and D50S/A50S/P50 stacks and they've never had an issue. My A70/D70 pro stack is fine now but I'm barely stressing it with my 109 pros ofc, my dt1990 pro was fine too and they take a lot more power but nothing crazy afaik
In principle, a DC error at the headphone output is not related to the power delivered by the amplifier, just indicates the presence of a direct current value which ideally should be zero. Excess power would result in an overcurrent or overtemperature error.
I was wondering if the error was an oversensitive/malfunctioning protection issue rather than a physically defective unit
Without more information, it could be both of them. Only the manufacturer can find out
This is why I'm wondering what happens if someone with a faulty unit tries to update their firmware, does the error go away or is it actually borked?
I wouldn't gamble and would repair it or return it. The presence of DC current in the headphone output can destroy the headphones. I would only update the firmware if the manufacturer explicitly tells me to do so.
No error codes. Just simply nth happens. No screen light nothing. On a90d Audiophonics updated firmware but it didnt work. Topping said that it needs to tweak some sensitivity shit. I use Ifi neo idsd as a DAC. Sry my language but im still kinda pissed bout this.
Can you please move it far away from your headphones?
