But it's not. Even if you COULD match up all the spec of the architecture they still sound very different. They lack the warmth of the D-50 for one thing. This is pretty common knowledge on every D-50 retro review (check sound on sound) and ever D-50 thread. Of course they have LAS still and some additions/tweaks but they don't have the same character, and the D70 in particular seems completely underwhelming considering it came after (remember the U series rompler motherboard inside)
