Things to Know

Aiyima A70

  • Volume taper is extremely aggressive; it gets very loud very early on the dial.
  • The subwoofer output is active but does not high-pass the main speakers.
  • Heat dissipation is passive and the case can become uncomfortable to touch during extended high-output sessions.

Topping PA7 Plus

  • External power brick is massive and can be difficult to hide.
  • Runs warmer than typical Class D amps due to high power density.
  • No remote control (intended to be used with a preamp like the E70).
