So far, no one opened to see what's inside.There is no mention of this new I/V stage on the E70V speil, so wonder what's going on there...

As far as I can tell the E70 velvet doesn't use a current to voltage stage like the ESS chip version. It uses the AK4191 chip with the 4499EXSo far, no one opened to see what's inside.
Standard. No velvet reviewIs this review of standard E70 (ESS) or E70 Velvet (AKM), is there a review of the Velvet?
Why do you think it wouldn't have an I/V? AFAICT the 4499EX has much the same kind of outputs as the AK4499 (pre-fire) used to, and that very much needed external I/V:As far as I can tell the E70 velvet doesn't use a current to voltage stage like the ESS chip version.

Do you use it balanced or unbalanced, A ground loop can be the cause.Looks like my E70V might be defective. It powers off randomly. When I turn it on, it stays in standby mode. I have to unplug/replug the dac to get it working properly, again. Tried several factory resets, but the problem returns every time. Anyone with an E70 or E70V have this problem? I've already got an RMA going with Apos Audio.
Balanced/XLR; I tried RCA and the problem still exists.Do you use it balanced or unbalanced, A ground loop can be the cause.
No idea the one I got was a brick. I've had an RMA going with Apos since the end of December.Looks like my E70V might be defective. It powers off randomly.

input from toshlink to cut the loopBalanced/XLR; I tried RCA and the problem still exists.
My input is USB. Think that's the source of the problem? I'll try optical, but it's still going back to Apos.input from toshlink to cut the loop
I'm also not sure, is to isolate the root cause.My input is USB. Think that's the source of the problem? I'll try optical, but it's still going back to Apos.
No change with optical. Guess I got a dud. That makes 2 dacs (D400EX and E70V) I had to return in the past 60 days.I'm also not sure, is to isolate the root cause.
Other ir transmitter’s remotesNo change with optical. Guess I got a dud. That makes 2 dacs (D400EX and E70V) I had to return in the past 60 days.![]()
Have you tried turning off auto standby and auto brightness?My input is USB. Think that's the source of the problem? I'll try optical, but it's still going back to Apos.
It's already packed up for the return trip to Apos Audio. Time to focus on my next dac. Right now, the leading candidate is the SU-9 Pro. I'm not interested in spending more than $500 on a dac.Have you tried turning off auto standby and auto brightness?

Not at all and I don't need the amp function, anyway.Better S.M.S.L. M500 mk3
SU-9pro and M500mk3 are the same except for HPA.Not at all and I don't need the amp function, anyway.
