I still remember the day I released the Sony DMP-Z1 review a year ago, Eclipse (the R&D director of Luxury&Precision) approached me and said: Do you think the performance of the Z1 is extreme? My answer is yes, after all, among the bunch of DAPs I tested at that time, DMP-Z1 is the representative of extreme performance. (I still remember that a high-end DAP joint test was conducted at that time).Then Eclipse told me: I want to make a 4497 player that exceeds the performance of DMP-Z1. I even laughed at the time: 4497 is gone! do you know? It's over!Then he emphasized to me: I want to design a device that uses 4497 and has extreme performance!I think he's going a little too far, trying to calm him downo you know that someone has made 120+SINAD performance on 4497? He was shocked at the time... what? 120? are you kidding me?I showed him the Topping D70s measurements...then Eclipse kept silent...until...July/August of this year...he told me: 4497 project is still going on...and then I received the Luxury&Precision E7 (Prototype) a few days ago
Measurement:
Summary: 120SINAD's DAP! Based on the 4497 (I don't know how they got it) chip... the most powerful DAP I've ever measured Well done! I wanted to make some more comments, but the completion of this engineering machine is actually not very high, and there are still many places that need to be adjusted in the software part. Let's wait for the retail version to come out and test again...
