I actually have a small issue with spdif input.The 1.04 is for spdif / coax problems. TV...... not an upgrade.
The 1.04 Firmware is build to solve problems with dropouts. It will increase the PLL bandwidth to sync with the spdif /coax inputs. (the penalty is higher jitter so stay with the lowest possible bandwidth) Your actual problem has nothing to do with this setting, I guess. I will test the auto function later and share my observation.I actually have a small issue with spdif input.
The auto-sensing function works. It turns on the E70 but no sound out. Nothing.
It is only after I manually turn it off and back on that sound comes out of the spdif input.
Have not tried coax to see if there is the same issue there.
After running USB (Roon stop playing) switching TV Opt on no action. For me not really a problem, I switch the inputs manually with the remote like I did it before with the predecessor. For that reason, I was not aware of it before your post.The 1.04 Firmware is build to solve problems with dropouts. It will increase the PLL bandwidth to sync with the spdif /coax inputs.

So did you do the sane choice and bought the E70 instead E70 Velvet?I have the E70, used to have an M400 (old AK4499 chip) and would love to hear the E70 Velvet.
The design and functionality is gorgeous.
It's been sat in my basket for 2 weeks now £ 371 inclusive..

Hi, measurement wise, the ESS seems a little better compared to the AKM. I have the ESS E70, I am really happy with it. Would not spend the 100 bucks more, see no reason.Hi Folks! Asking help to decide between E70 or E70 velvet or really anything in this price range. Nowadays using the DAC section of Sabaj D5 and the second batch of DROP THX AAA 789 with Senn HD800 stock and really glad with this combo. Browsing ASR days ago and reading about the new DACs I´ve got the itch to upgrade and help the audio business keep going . I know most surely I´d not hear any difference, but the Bluetooth would be helpful for a casual listening, the big display would be nice, and that extra clean curves (jitter, distortion, etc) might have a very nice placebo effect... Alas I could recoup some cash selling the Sabaj D5.
So should I wait for a proper E70 Velvet review, pull the trigger now or should I save 100 USD and order E70 instead, or am I missing something more interesting in this price range?
Thanks people!
