Eversolo dealers in Portland, Oregon area.

Thank you all.  I received an email response from Forte, looks like only 2 in Oregon.  I knew about the 2 in WA.  Just so happens, the Portland location I am going to is on the same Ave as Headphones about 6 blocks away so I may just drop in while I'm there.  I probably won't buy anything however as the new Gen 2's are a couple of weeks away.

Ahhh, we're all just like a dog on a leash. In high end audio the new model is always just X months away, and makes everything that came before totally obsolete.

I hear you, but IMHO not always.  For example, I prefer the sound of the older DAC's then the new ones, Burr-Brown and Wolfson V. ESS as an example. 

In this case, the Gen 2 has a better power supply, which based on what I've read can make the streamers sound better.  At the same price, why not?  Of course, I want to listen first to make that determination, and not just "drink the Kool-Aid".

I get a kick out of hearing Burr-Brown. Didn't think I would still hear the word.  I worked for Burr-Brown for nearly twenty years. Nice to see their legacy continues. 

Yep, my buddy keeps accusing me of being a dinosaur. I like what I like, what can I say. His favorites are the AKM (which I would consider mid generation), but we know what happened there.

I listened to an Eversol A6 standard today. Much better sound than a Wiim Ultra they had. Deeper and wider soundstage and space between the instruments. Vocals had much more body, better articulation in the bass regions and a little deeper. The Wiim sounded flat and veiled in comparison. Even the wife instantly heard the difference, and she also preferred the Eversol. Unfortunately, the second dealer I went to no longer carries the Eversol and was sold out of the Bluesound Icon. I would really like to hear both together, but not possible at this point here in WA. I’m going to wait until the Gen 2 hits the shelves and A/B the A6 gen 2 and A6 Master Edition gen 2. I just hate having to listen to the Icon at a second dealer with totally different equipment. On the plus side, they sell McIntosh so I should be able to somewhat match the rest of the electronics but still have no idea how the Eversol units will sound on it.
