TOPPING A70 PRO/D70 PRO SABRE AMP/DAC STACK (FULL REVIEW) (4K).

[@CheekyFest]

I hope you're back to 100% soon

Great review. The xduoo xd05pro also has the ability to center the sound for you. I absolutely love it. I actually just used it as my Dac and the a70pro as my amp using special connectors. I also have the smsl Do400 that appears to run my pair of he6se v2 as well but nothing quite does it like the A70 pro. I need a dedicated dac only. Thinking r2r but my pockets hurt these days lol.

Always wondered if you put a tube pre-amp between the DAC and this type of amp if it would take the sterility out of the equation to give some of the best of both worlds?

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

Maybe?

[@shawnpwatsons1]

@@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250 Be a great experiment. Do you have the equipment on hand to try it?

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

@@shawnpwatsons1 If I used the RCA outputs from the dac, I could run them through a tube amp with pre-amp function, such as the Feliks Audio Echo, and then to the A70 amp. I do not have a balanced tube amp.

[@HerbertShooler]

yes you can add in the tube distortion to warm the sound

[@InDueTime25]

@@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250Please let us know how that sounds if you can. I have paired so many things with my A70pro but never a tube or dedicated elite dac

Topping just released an R2R DAC, Centaurus... retail hundred bucks more than Sabre. 😎

[@theheadphoneexperience-wil2250]

Yeah, would love to get one in for review.

[@stevendavis1135]

Wow !! 8 months!?! I think you have definitely broken your delayed review record for sure. Sometimes, I even forget you even have something in for review because the wait time after your impressions is so massive. Hope you feel better man.

Unfortunately I still have to work a full time job to pay the bills. I don't get to spend near as much time working on reviews as I would like.
