Hi Everyone,
Shortly i will (probably) decide to purchase either an Topping E70 or the E70 Velvet.
i'm sure both devices will be fine, however, i read some review that the Velvet version sounds better specifically with DSD material than it's ESS counterpart.
Cause for this is the way AKM chips process DSD different than ESS, at least according to what his sources told him.
I realize that this is of course the reviewers very Subjective view, since no measurements or blind tests were provided, but still, could there be something to it,
in that AKM processes DSD different than ESS?
greetings

PS @Amir,
do you have plans to measure the Velvet version of this DAC anytime soon?
