Yet another device I haven't heard of. It's hard keeping up!

Someone got a serious bargain with your SEG, John. I was tempted to bid myself but I thought it would go for more than I could justify spending.

Agree Paul it has a lot of work done to it and a very musical DAC I hoped for a lot more

I was waiting with baited breath to hear your thoughts on the Topping D70 after you rmeet last weekend... anything you would care to share?

I think we agreed that it has good potential but needed to burn in more as only 1 hour on it A different take to sound than the sabre chip for sure

I have done some quite major changes that I hope to write about in the next week Once I get the new network player sorted out. I need to get a more modern hub so I can stream. However, this means it is hard it harder to isolate what the DAC is doing and what my other system changes are doing. We did not really have the time to test the Topping at Martin What I can say is it has a lot of detail but also flows well. It seems to do everything well. But I think its biggest strength is the mids. I think it must be one of the best DACs under £600 I got mine for about £400 from Amazon which is an incredible bargain.

Did you get a chance to try the new streamer yet, John, or will it not play ball until you update your hub?

Having to use my laptop as Hub will not work with the streamer due to being a single band router The laptop, not a perfect solution adds a touch of harshness to the treble. But everything else sounds good Tom.

The Topping is also starting to really shine I am just listening to Keith Don't Go and the attack is stunning

I think Keith Don't Go should be banned from any audiophile demonstrations ...

The acoustic live version is superb.
