Hi, I am interested in getting a E70 Velvet DAC. I currently have a Topping D90SE DAC. What is your opinion on this E70 velvet and how do you compare this to the D90SE DAC? Thanks.Mine was delivered today.
Will post my thoughts about it tomorrow or Thursday.

Had both DACs and prefer D90SE…Hi, I am interested in getting a E70 Velvet DAC. I currently have a Topping D90SE DAC. What is your opinion on this E70 velvet and how do you compare this to the D90SE DAC? Thanks.
I'm not sure if you know this, but all Delta-Sigma DACs use a resistor-ladder technique. They do so at a lower resolution, usually between 2-6 bits, and then shape the signal afterward to resemble the original signal's resolution via filtration techniques.I wonder if Ak4499ex's "velvet sound technology" really is an integrated r2r technique. It is described as "switched resistor technology" in various places.
At e.g www.audioexpress.com I found this
"The AK4499EXEQ solution offers a stereo premium D/A conversion stage based on Switched Resistor DAC method employing AKM's Velvet Sound technology. The design uses the company's latest high-quality approach that explores completely separate digital/analog signal processing to achieve a completely transparent and realistic experience that breaks down the perception barriers of digital and analog audio"
No I didn't know that, thank you for entlightening me.I'm not sure if you know this, but all Delta-Sigma DACs use a resistor-ladder technique.

This is done extremely accurately these days, and it generally recreates the original signal in analog with no audible distortion. Which makes me wonder if AKM really does have some kind of secret sauce, or it's marketing nonsense designed to appeal to uninformed audiophiles who don't understand audio. I'm hoping it's a bit of both.
I agree! Over on Head-Fi, I only review and post about the gear I like....that he reviews. Perhaps those that he doesn't fancy, he won't review ?
All?? You probably mean segment DACs, but out of currently used chips I know only about Burr-Brown chips using that technique.I'm not sure if you know this, but all Delta-Sigma DACs use a resistor-ladder technique.

The X18's sound signature is very different from the D300 or E70V. It is great DAC for electronic and pop music with good separation and a bit more oomph. The sound stage is simlar to the E70V. I own the X18 & E70V & D300. I like them all.Are you sure it has problems? then I also return it and buy the Gustard x18
You mean cutoff filters at frequencies you wouldn`t hear anyway? Moreover measurements show that cutoff limit is set far lower than E70`s user manual suggests.I'm talking about the Topping E70 Velvet, that the 2 filters don't work when I listen to DSD natively

Topping E70 Velvet DAC Review, Measurements and Comparisons
2/13/23 UPDATE.... See post 2 for FULL review of the Topping E70 VELVET DAC. Also, see here for what to expect next after the Topping comparo. https://www.euphonicreview.com/blog/rohm-comes-to-town The Topping is on its way here for a full review and lab testing at Euphonicreview.com...www.head-fi.org
Why would anyone need that??? to transfer more 00000000 thru usb cable??So simple solution... upsample In software
