I think it could be firmware as well, not necessarily the circuit itself.
Nevertheless, it's a shame that you ha e issues with your unit. Have you contacted the store where you bought it and gotten their input?
The unit is on loan from a friend, he didn't have time to test it over Christmas so I asked if I could have a play, he is now returning to Shenzen Audio for a full refund.

Nothing happened 👍

New issue found, if I fiddle with the volume knob in standby the amp factory resets itself, I can recreate this as many times as required and it resets every time,


This is Toppings answer to factory reset while moving volume knob in standby state.

It turns out that my unit is broken, or I do not know how to play with my handle :astonished:

Will need to practice 🤣

So many experts. So much good advice. So many happy days ahead :D

On a more serious note. I am not very keen on resetting my A70, so I am probably not trying hard enough 🙄

I find this very hard to believe, very strange feature, I mean who doesn't like to fiddle with their knob?

I'm currently have an a90d as a WfH setup. I want to get another amp for my gaming PC.

Both the a90d and a70 pro are priced the similar in a local shop.

2 things that I like about the a90d is the simplicity of the display (don't really care for the fancy Aurora display sincei hardly look at the amp).

I don't have phones that can take advantage of 17W output

Thoughts? Thanks

I was also in-between A90D and A70Pro went with latter and very satisfied with the amp, punchy, neutral to warm signature, has R2R volume control which keeps same volume between channels, it is a better amp in my opinion and easily an end game.

Both of them uses relay volume control? (Since you said the a70pro a better amp)

I think yes, Joshua Valor has review on yt between the two, might help, also Z and IIWI.

Honestly if you already have A90D and building another sistem, get an A70 Pro, will not disappoint.
