The DAC Topping D70 features many refinements specific to a high-end audio product. Powerful chips, ultra-low jitter clocks, latest generation interfaces and great versatility, this converter offers exceptional audio reproduction, characterized by magnificent transparency and a beautiful sound richness while offering practical features.

Connectivity & Features

With its many features and connections, the Topping D70 can be integrated into the vast majority of audio systems, offering many options for use and installation. On the input connector side, the device offers AES/EBU, Coaxial SPDIF, Toslink Optics, USB and I2S LVDS via HDMI. Note that this last input has several selectable modes, in order to adapt to your other I2S LVDS devices. The output includes balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. The D70 allows you to select the output so that you can send the audio stream only to one or both of them at once.

The D70 also acts as a preamplifier since it includes a volume controller with attenuation from -99dB to 0dB. However, this volume control function can be disabled so that the D70 can only be used as a DAC with output levels constantly at their maximums, i.e. 4Vrms for XLR output and 2Vrms for RCA output.

An incredible quality circuit

While the conversion and interface chips integrated into the D70 represent the best that is currently being done, the rest of the circuit is not to be outdone. For example, the PCB contains 4 Nichicon FW 3300µF capacitors as power reserve for the AK4497 and 8 Nichicon Muse capacitors for coupling the output signals. The output circuit is composed of a series of 3 AOP LME49720, high precision Vishay resistors and WIMA capacitors for excellent performance. The power supply circuit, on the other hand, incorporates ultra-low noise low voltage drop (LDO) linear regulators TPS7A4701 and TPS7A3301. This manufacturing quality allows the D70 to offer a breathtaking sound reproduction, with incredible precision, richness and depth.
