And nothing about my new A70 has arrived..... what can I say, I'm crying with happiness for how beautiful it is, for how much it opens up the scene, for how clean and powerful it is at the same time. Arrived with FW 2.01 serial number 2310656xxx, black colour. Finally a remote control that no longer works infrared but radio wave with excellent reception, the red LED that lights up on the remote control every time you press it is fantastic. The display is responsive, precise and defined. But the focal point is the difference it makes within my audio chain:
Before it SMSL SU-9 (Usb) variable volume BAL out ---> Hypex NC502MP ---> Elac Dbr62 ........ NOW SMSL SU-9 (Usb) fixed volume BAL Out -----> Topping A70 XLR in - XLR out -----> Hypex NC502MP ----> Elac Dbr62
Thanks ASR, thanks Amir and thanks to Topping (let's hope it lasts over time
) At the moment I'm only using it as a PRE but this evening I'll try it as a headphone amplifier with my SUNDARAs (oh by the way having 2 buttons on the remote control The way to quickly switch from PRE to AMPLI configuration is phenomenal).
