Also the specs seem to be disagreeing with eachother in various places.

Power spec is listed as 12.6W @ 32 Ohms in some places and 10W in others, but then also noted that the very low distortion figures are only applicable upto 2W



It'll be interesting to see the THD vs output level curve on this. Display definitely looks neat though, more stuff needs VU meters

Yeah I noticed that too, Topping has this bad habit of always playing tricks in marketing. We'll have to see if this actually outperforms the A90D but still, the output they're getting from these small chassis designs is nuts

And I just bought the E70V. Is it now outdated? I wonder if the new D70 Pro SABRE outperforms it.

It's ESS. It won't outperform AKM. Breathe. Relax. All is well with the world.

It's more expensive though. And the aurora UI looks cool.

Very exciting! I like the way these look!

 

[Bansaku]

They look like S.M.S.L....

It reminds me of the Eversolo DAC-Z8 I just reviewed

I am a huge fan of the aesthetics here, interested to see what they do with the A90/D and D90

Even lower distortion..? Weren't several previous products already far, far below the audible distortion range to begin with?

I'm perplexed, I thought anything better than <insert Topping/SMSL/Singxer people currently own here> is far below audible range, and yet somehow they coming out with "better" stuff.

In which way akm is better?
Im talking technical stuff and not delusions.

I like the industrial design language of the chassis with a more angular, square, and beveled looked. I'm not a fan of the UI design. It reminds me of an Android phone from 2010. Would love this chassis but with the clean OLED display from the D90SE.

I'm talking sound. I haven't heard an ESS implementation I have liked yet. Sibilant. Flat. Just no.

And in comparison to the Smsl D6? No big differences? Only better messurements which you can’t Hear, 12V trigger, 5V, a Coloured Display and More Settings? A very good Product but you can get 4 D6 for this one

The only thing I'm missing is a build in 10 band PEQ.
