EverSolo Streamer

I did get a chance to try the EverSolo’s DMP-A6’s own internal DAC. Its decent, but does not drive the music quite as well as a really good DAC. A-B’ing it against my DAC confirmed to me my preference to continuing with my outboard DAC. The sound is very clean and for the average consumer may provide all the excitement they need. For me, in comparison the sound lacks a bit in dynamic expression, textural detail and that sense of ‘out of the box’ sound filling a room. In comparison it sounds just a bit flat. However it is brand new and not burned in yet, so the sound  of the EverSolo’s own DAC may improve considerably.

As a streamer though, its been very good so far, with a few minor foibles (as to be expected). I was further encouraged last night, when the streamer received the first update to address bug fixes. These guys are serious about this product.

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!
