TOPPING E70/E70V DACs: Packaging and Accessories

TOPPING appears to have chosen a few differently-sized boxes to use for its products across the board. We saw a similar design before and the E70 DAC ships in the largest of these seen here to date. It's an all black 2-piece box with the TOPPING logo on the top left corner of the textured front and contact information on the side where we also see the new company website mentioned too. A sticker on the other side confirms the product inside is indeed the E70 and I have the black colored version with a UK power plug inside.


Removing the lid reveals foam protection on the inside for added protection and there are machined cutouts to snugly fit the E70 DAC. TOPPING includes paperwork in the form of a user manual (available online here) and warranty card which may be found above or below the actual item. The other accessories are placed inside two thinner cardboard boxes on the sides including a USB Type-B to Type-A male/male cable, which in turn indicates the adoption of Type-B connectivity on the DAC rather than the Type-C I would have liked to see. Interestingly, the E70 is powered off an AC mains cable rather than another USB connection as on the lower E50 and E30 DACs we saw before, indicating the E70 is more power hungry and has an internal power supply too. Then we find the same remote control we saw before on other TOPPING DACs and this has dedicated buttons for a lot of things, including shortcuts and navigation between inputs and outputs, changing the display brightness, and so on. It is made of plastic and takes two AAA batteries that TOPPING does not provide in the box. Rounding off the unboxing experience is a Bluetooth antenna that plugs into the back of the device no doubt.


The TOPPING E70 VELVET arrived later but it took less than a minute to confirm the unboxing experience is the exact same. Indeed, it is only the sticker on the side which once again helps confirm what is inside—the E70V in black which should also look very similar to the TOPPING E70 itself. The user manual for the E70V is again very similar to that of the E70 itself, but TOPPING has still made it separately available here for those interested.
