TOPPING D70 Pro SABRE DAC: Packaging and Accessories

TOPPING appears to have chosen a few differently-sized boxes to use for its products across the board. We have seen similar implementations before and the D70 Pro SABRE DAC ships in the largest of these seen here to date. It's an all black 2-piece box with the TOPPING logo in the middle of the textured front with 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 D70 Pro 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 DAC. TOPPING includes paperwork in the form of a user manual (available online here) and warranty card which are both found on top of the DAC. The other accessories are placed inside two separate cutouts in the foam sheet to help ensure everything is protected well and nothing unintentionally scratches or damages the DAC. These include 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. As expected from a more premium product, the D70 Pro SABRE is powered off an AC mains cable rather than another USB connection as on the lower E50 and E30 DACs we saw before, and this also indicates there is an internal power supply. 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.
