Can we expect a D70 Pro Velvet will be turning up soon?
Are you still going to pony it up?As long as Topping refuses to include a unicorn with every product, I adamantly refuse to continue to recognize them as a serious audiophile manufacturer. I just got my seventh Topping box and still no damn unicorn!
I think it's more likely we'll see an "upgraded" D90 with the 9039Pro.Can we expect a D70 Pro Velvet will be turning up soon?
I hope also with the new functions and displaysI think it's more likely we'll see an "upgraded" D90 with the 9039Pro.

if it's not something like the Eversolo DMP-A6 they shouldn't even released it.I hope also with the new functions and displays
Honestly, since the ADI-2/4 Pro release I haven‘t seen any significant firmware updates for neither the ADI-2 Pro FSR nor the ADI-2 DAC!Not even close...
No EQ, no Loudness option, no bass/treble, and almost twice the gain is available with the RME ADI-2 DAC FS. Not to mention the remote provided with the RME makes the Topping remote seem like a dime store toy. You get what you pay for. The ADI-2 offers better engineering and a lot more options and technology which is continually updated and improved. After Topping releases a product it's on the way to obsolescence. RME ADI-2 is continually improving - at no extra cost.
Yes, but I may be able to find one at discounted priceHasn't the a90 been discontinued since the launch of the a90D?
Well I can probably get an A90 100$ less than A70proStill makes no sense. A70Pro vs A90 non discrete? What's the point of the latter, then.
maybe d70 proud is betterThey can’t do that cos then they’d have to call it the d70 prod which sounds stupid!
Important caveat: With A-weightingGuys, have you seen the advertisment in shenzhenaudio? 126 db sinad

TOPPING D70PRO SABRE ES9039SPRO Digital to Analog Convertor (DAC)
The D70 Pro SABRE adopts the ES9039SPRO, the flagship 32-bit DAC chip of SABRE redesigned by ESS company. D70 Pro SABRE supports LDAC / aptX-Adaptive / aptX HD/ aptX /AAC I SBC audio encoding, allowing high quality audio to be transmitted wirelessly for a better sound experience.shenzhenaudio.com
Topping and SMSL have also shown, that good sound is no mumbo-jumbo magic. What I mean is, both those companies have given a blueprint that you can build these devices from the ground up, so I don't think they will be able to go crazy with prices, as new competition may emerge.Amir has measured enough ESS DAC's over the past year to prove their undisputed cutting edge performance. (Could say the same for Cirrus, AKM). SINAD and transparency have been a real yawnfest for quite sometime now. I think Topping and SMSL may start loading features in, but their upper end devices are already expensive. It could alienate many buyers when prices head well into 4 digit territory, but maybe that is what their end game is. High prices for a hooked niche crowd. We already see quite a few of these manufacturers in the audio arena.
