Ah. I'm in the May group. Waiting...waiting...waiting.
I haven't m9xx to compare, but I can give some hints. Try to check AC polarity of power cord connection. D70 is sensetive to polarity, in wrong connection sound is a bit smoothed/blured (especially highs). Also make sure that the PCM filter is not 2, 4 or 5, they're affects bass presentation pretty much. Also if you're using foobar, try 32-bit ASIO mode, it reproduces low frequencies more percise. These are my conclusions after many experiments.
Listened to foot-tapping on ES9038 smartphone, there is more punch, bass is less fuller, but it really is recognized more like foot-tapping. I understand what you are talking about. Closest result on D70 is with PCM filter 6 applied (in DAC mode, not in PRE -12db), it adds density to sounds a bit in comparison with filter 3.
ADD: most dynamic and crisp sound - KS output (Kernel Streaming). Check it out.

M9xx was massdrops "affordable" version. Retail version is M900: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...asurements-of-grace-design-m900-dac-amp.6470/ Purchase links: https://www.thomann.de/be/grace_design_m900.htm or in US:您可以发送m9xx购买链接,我与产品纠结,谢谢
No, entirely different designs, only 'connection' is use of 2x AK4497.Does anyone know if the D70 has any connection with the SINGXER SDA-2-C?

https://www.shenzhenaudio.com/singx...d512-ak4497-decoding-headphone-amplifier.html has some measurements on the sales pageThanks. Anyone have experience with the Singxer?
Edit: the singxer headamp has 22ohm output impedance, 44ohm balanced. Way too high. I would not recommend it to be honest...
I don't recommend buying this without listening session. It's not bad at all, but has very specific soft sound.
I may be getting one in for review.https://www.shenzhenaudio.com/singx...d512-ak4497-decoding-headphone-amplifier.html has some measurements on the sales page
You coming from a Sabre based DAC? These were my thoughts as well and when comparing them there is more edge on the Sabre.
Using D70->THX 789-> HE-560/HD6XX
With the ADX5000 the lows are to pronounced for my taste.
Yeah of course.Probably due to the higher impedance output I suppose.
