    Topping and SMSL are to the point that they need to take time and break new ground instead of these minor tweaked units being released quickly

      New/ more features would be a nice start. (HDMI arc, peq/ room correction, trigger in/out) And maybe develop other products rather than (almost) only dacs. (usb dac dongle, streamer, update their digital amps, etc.)

      My quick thoughts,
      No one in Audio industry was able to break new ground since CD.
      If you read old audio magazines from 70s you’ll find articles about Japanese brands producing so many different cheap receivers and flooding the market but now they still exist because they’re able to capitalize it, I guess history is repeating with different version.
      For these brands I think they’re going with full lineup of different chips like no other brands, they will have AKM, ESS, CS Logic and ROHM models.
      They should reduce to four different price points.(excluding HPA+DAC)
      (must leave the price gaps do not make filler models)
      Entry level DAC up to $200,
      3rd tier $600 range,
      2nd tier $900-$1200 and
      Top tier above $1500.
      It should do well for them in long run if they keep their focus on quality.

      @@Tharbamar i think it's really nice that they have several products in lots of different price points. The point here i think is that they have A LOT of very similar products in the same price bracket launched in a very short time. The combination of these three is indeed at least strange.

    I hoped From Topping D30 Pro, Topping D70 Pro Octo would be an excellent upgrade, but the reality is shocking. D30 Pro is still better in warmth and Natural presentation than the D70 Octo. Many paid UA-camr are doing fake promotion, I found you are very honest in your presentation.👍🏾

    I love these Chinese brands. They produce great sounding kit at affordable prices and often feature the latest chip sets. I also like the very wide range with something for every pocket. They are really democratising great, digital sound. Good luck to them and thanks to you for keeping us up to date. Very much appreciated.

    Hmmm. Wonder if you got a defective unit? Maybe it's a driver issue? Maybe its a design flaw? The reviews on this one seem to be mixed now???

    • @AttilaBalla87
      @AttilaBalla87 8 місяців тому +2

      I thought the same thing, other reviewers described it totally different, as an unit with analogish sound, but according to the sound sample Tharbamar's opinion is right. Maybe a faulty unit???

    One question: why do you put the decouplers, the absorbers or the spikes under the feet housing of DAC-s or streamers? Many people think it would be better to use the decoupling, the absorbers or the spikes directly under the housing. Best regards,

    Hey there, so this is off-topic. What is the better speaker, Revel M16 or Musician Knight1? And would something like Topping PA7 be able to power these two?
    I have very little experience with high end speakers. I only have like $70 speakers so...

    Hello, I just got and I can stop listening at it, I'm coming from the E70Velvet that I've been enjoying too much as well, more than the Eversolo DPM-A6 Master Edition, that being said, the Octo for me is one o 2 steps above, using filter 4 (I didnt like the filter 1 eihter), now I'm going to try the NOS as per you recommendation. I guess the good results have something to do with my setup, where I just replaced the E70V with the Octo and improvement is notorious (note I'm using 220 volts thru audiolab DC block power conditioner) with amplifier Audiolab 6000A and speakers Triangle Comete 40th anniversary. Using Eversolo A6ME as streamer or just optical from TV I certainly would not back to the E70V as timber, tones, resolution and egaging is too good with the Octo, if the NOS filter is even better I'm going to cry.... thank you for your great reviews! Forgot to mention, I'm using 5 volts RCA output, and disabled bluetooth (because with the E70v there was a difference in sound with bt enabled).

      Interesting opinion, as i am looking at E70V, D70 Octo. So i should go for D70 Octo for a better timber, better soundstage?

    • @joseadan5024
      @joseadan5024 4 місяці тому

      @@ionescugeorge2003 well, after this 4 months with D70 Octo I got back to E70V, just adding another Audiolab DC block so having one exclusive for the amplifier and the other one shared between the E70V and the Eversolo A6ME resulted in an improved resolution and timber in the E70, as a matter of fact, I would say identical with the D70 Octo or even just a little bit better, but I took the decision of going back to the E70V because I perceive it having more substance and weight in all frequency range that really engage me more with music.

    Topping should update firmware and fix these issues. My taste of sound is very similar to your taste. I bought accuphase due to your taste. I ordered the Topping D70 Octo. It's on the way. It's too late 😭

    I like the d70 octo features, especially 12v trigger which is rare. But the turn-off for me is the reviews saying it is flat and lacks depth and soundstage may not be as wide as other implementations. So the search continues... I will have to live without 12v trigger.

    Sound sample sounds quite good to me through the computer speakers: not boring and quite alive.... Transients are excellent and cymbals are real as well as drums.... Creates impression of effortless presentation as in real life. Even listened several times... I wonder if this unit has an Antelope Amari sound for a fraction of price?
