Review on Topping D70s MQA DAC AK4497 Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC DSD512 32Bit/768k AK4118 Receiver πŸ”Š XMOS IIS USB Coax Opt AES Input HiFi Audio Decoder with Remote Control - Silver by Maria Coleman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's about execution.

I have many DACs and will likely have more in the future. This DAC outperforms most of my other R2R/DS DACs, some of which cost over 4x the price of this DAC. At this price this DAC is better than my SMSL M400, my Denafrips Ares II and my Topping D90. If that DAC sounds anything but great on your system, then the problem is with the rest of the signal chain in your system, but definitely not with that DAC. /OS is of secondary importance, but the actual design and implementation makes a DAC great or not. This is an absolute winner, well done, topping.

Pros
  • β™« Topping D70s MQA DAC: Uses 2x AK4497, 1x AK4118 receiver. D70s uses CPLD. The USB input supports MQA decoding. It has multiple USB Bluetooth IIS Coax OPT-AES inputs. Remote control.
Cons
  • Repair
