EverSolo Streamer

I am enjoying the newly released EverSolo Streamer, which I received at the front door a few hours ago.

First, may I recommend Amir at SummitHiFi out of Toronto Canada. Exceptional service experience. I called Amir a few hours ago to check on status. He told me to check at the door and there it was! His site is SummitHifi-USA.com.

Setup was easy. Just follow the prompts on the touchscreen then scan the code and download the app. No remote is included, as one’s phone / iPad becomes the remote. 
 

Connected to DAC via CParry’s SPDIF Coax BlackCat SilverStar 75.

The app is simplicity itself to navigate. Qobuz accomodated beautifully.

First recording selected; Charles Mingus; Changes: The Complete1970s Atlantic Studios Recordings;Hi-Res 24/96 I believe.

I am not really a Charles Mingus superfan, but I found myself enjoying several tracks.

The thought that comes to mind is, why did I wait so long to get a streamer? No more laptop connected via USB..Yippee! As William Mel Gibson Wallace blurted out as his entrails were torn out on a public torture rack by the wretched Norman English warlords (kidding); Freedom!!

The unit I ordered is the limited Master Edition. Adorned with gold accents, the Chinese marketing announces with great fanfare, ‘Highlight The Dignity!’ Well as I advance in years I felt I could use a way to highlight my dignity : ) The price for this model is $1,299 (if memory serves). I certainly would not pay an extra $450 for some gold accents, but for that modest increase one gets two Femto clocks (regular not Femto), as well as upgraded audio opamps. The sound is stellar. A very marked improvement over my laptop connected via USB.

I plan to wile away this Friday evening enjoying this small yet lovely streamer.

My Dad just picked up one of these.    My streaming started with  a Bluesound Vault 2i which I still consider to be the Benchmark for reasonably priced streamers

I picked up an Aurender N200 and that is in a different league .  That said , the Eversolo is a solid bargain in my opinion.  I set it up the other night and it was super easy

Last night I picked up an Asus DVD drive and it recognized it immediately.  Ripped CDs and can even just play a CD if you wanted.  

It found other music on the network easily.   

I connected it's HDMI audio out and it drove a 30' HDMI no problem.   It will be connected via USB to his Mac integrated amp's DAC  

There is a lot to like for the money.

Thanks Oddiofyl. Great comment! How do you feel the EverSolo DMP-A6 stacks up against the Aurender N200 for sound quality?

After listening to this unit for several days now, I can say with confidence that it is MUCH better than the audio quality for a laptop. Folks such as Lalitk have been saying this for a long time. I have been somewhat reserved about considering Streaming quite as good as the CD player. With this streamer, that difference has evaporated. Next up, if finances permit, a network switch from ENO or one of the new gen Uptone Audio Etheregen units.

i just got my eversolo as well, just starting to listen

startup was a breeze, roon saw it right away, top notch packaging and intuitive interface

listening at max volume from xlr analog outs, initial reaction is yup it has that quite recognizeable mid tier native ess sabre sound -- clean crisp clear dynamic spacious somewhat upfront sound, but no obvious grain, harshness or digititis, very black background -- roon readiness and output op amps seem well implemented, pretty good so far!

I am interested in this but only as a streamer. Has anyone compared it to other streamers, like the Lumin U1/U2 mini or the Holo Red?

More to discover
