I've had my Evo 400 preamp now, for about 60 days. It's paired with a Peachtree Amp500, feeding a pair of GoldenEar Triton 2+
The preamp provides a DEAD QUIET noise floor. Power-on is a flick of the switch, and about 20 seconds later... you hear a click or two... and see the status light flip from red to green. I use mine DAILY for several hours.
I'm running it with balanced XLR between the Luna and the Peachtree... no hum... no intermod... and you'd expect no less. I think the way I'd describe this preamp is: "Neutral, but not cold... and sharp, with a pleasant clarity for the price-class." Much of that is likely the rest of my audio chain, but that's how I'm perceiving it, when I added it to the loop.
The remote is substantial, but in my case, you just "barely" need to tap on the volume buttons to achieve a bump in change... and if you're heavy handed... you can overshoot quite easily.
The build quality really is top notch. Nothing to sneeze at there.
