With streamers software and firmware is just as important as the sound quality. You are investing in hardware, software , and customer service.
The better companies excel at all three.
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Anybody see this thing that recently launched? Eversolo DMP-A10 https://www.eversolo.com/Product/index/model/DMP-A10/target/%5Bld%5DyN%2BvBjptVBKKmVViAFMcQ%3D%3D.html#/ which is a step up from the A8, just like the A8 was a step up from A6.
It sells for $3680 which is an unusual number, but the A8 had a weird price too. That extra money gets a much more impressive, larger enclosure, better DAC section, better power supply, improved clocking, isolation for better signal purity, and a bunch of other tweaks for sound quality. Features are expanded too, with room correction being the main thing but there are some more little things too.
I'm a sucker for Eversolo and will definitely be picking this up at some point soon. I feel like if this was sold by another brand it would cost way more money.

@oddiofyl I know those things are important. I'm satisfied enough in comparison to the Lumin T2 I a already own. It's got a better feature set, I asked for sound quality because that's the most important thing to ME. If similar are comparable I would consider the purchase. |
If after reading others in this thread expressing their disappointment with Eversolo and you want to spend $4k go right ahead. That's a lot of money . Unfortunately you don't understand how important the streamer software is . To go from a perfectly working unit to no USB is unacceptable. Last FW introduced dropouts with Tidal and did not fix USB. They are not seasoned developers over there. |
There is a lot - well, mostly one guy - of complaining in the chat. And honestly, if I had his experience, I'd complain too. I can afford to buy any streamer I want but, I wanted a one box solution with a well designed UI interface. All the reviews pointed to the Eversolo and I’m not disappointed. I’ve had zero issues and my wife and kids can use it easily. Frankly, I’m listening to more music than I ever did. Will cross the bridge on the outboard DAC at one point but for right now.... |
