Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Topping E70 Velvet. E70 VELVET locks its digital input or has connected Bluetooth, but the intended already-connected RCA or XLR line output is not selected. The downstream system has its own functioning volume control. This DAC has no headphone jack.
Connection scope: USB audio · Optical digital audio · Bluetooth. Symptom: Sound goes to the wrong output.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
scope
Confirm the model and connection
E70 VELVET locks its digital input or has connected Bluetooth, but the intended already-connected RCA or XLR line output is not selected. The downstream system has its own functioning volume control. This DAC has no headphone jack.
Look for: Confirm this exact setup and observation before continuing.
- If Yes, I confirm → Accept a line-output routing change?
- If No / my setup differs → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required
- Manufacturer-documented Topping E70 Velvet — official official manual ↗English page 2: operation, remote, channel balance, brightness, auto standby — E70 VELVET is a line-output DAC with USB/optical/BT inputs and RCA/XLR outputs, not a headphone amplifier. Remote output selects RCA/XLR/both; known mute can be released with MUTE. Balance 0.0 is centred; brightness LA dims after 30 seconds; input-signal auto standby is A-1. Holding brightness 3 seconds with BT active enters pairing.Exact Topping E70 Velvet. · Source checked 2026-11-09
line-consent
Accept a line-output routing change?
Selecting a line output can deliver a loud signal, especially in fixed DAC mode. Continue only with source paused and downstream amplification muted at its own minimum control. This flow never changes fixed/variable or maximum-output settings.
Look for: Explicit informed acceptance is required before the next action.
- If I accept these effects → Mute downstream amplification
- If No / leave this unchanged → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required

Mute downstream amplification
Pause the source and mute the connected amplifier or active speakers using their own controls at minimum.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.

Select only the connected output
Use the remote output selector and read the display until RCA only or XLR only matches the actual connected line cable. Do not change PRE/DAC mode or maximum-output voltage.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.

Restore only a quiet comparison
Keep the downstream volume low when restoring its normal unmuted listening state, then compare the same supported source.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.

Possible result
More information is required
An unknown state is not a diagnosis. Record the last visible indication and consult the exact model instructions.
insufficient data
Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
Possible result
Continue with source and model support
Keep the source, connection and last observation. Do not reset, open equipment or change full-scale output to compensate for an unconfirmed result.
next support
Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
Possible result
Checks completed
The requested observation was confirmed in this setup. It does not establish a hardware repair or guarantee another source behaves the same.
