| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement I migrated from a 5.1 surround system to a 2.1 system and have not looked back. My Eversolo A8 replaced the separate streamer, DAC, and Pre-amp I had in my previous setup. Sounds better too. TV sounds great using the ARC connection as well. | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) I have had the Eversolo DMP-A8 since it was first available, Dec of 23. I love the DSP features that allow me to tweak the sound for the speakers of my preference. The internal Dac sounds better to me than the $1600 Gustard R26 Ladder Dac it repl... | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf I wanted to add that I recently demoed the Buchardt S400 mk2s. The Totem Hawks are better in every way. | |
| Downsizing from tower to bookshelf You might want to take a look at the new Bison series fromTotem. I recently picked up the Totem Hawks in very good condition. I was going to buy the Bisons until I found these at a third of the cost. They are small Towers and have unbelievable bas... | |
| Streaming from a TV I'm using the DAC within the Eversolo. I think it's very well integrated with the preamp. I love AKM dacs. Had the e90 prior. Tried a Gustard 26 R2R through the I2S and it didn't wow me. I didn't like controlling the volume with the dac. Sold... | |
| Streaming from a TV I was using the Optical out from my LD OLED to a Wimm Pro streamer...sounded ok. Upgraded to the Eversolo A8 with the EARC input from the tv EARC out. Youtube and TV now sound much better. In my case, EARC is much superior to the optical | |
| Phono stage for second system I am using the Darlington Labs MP8B which is all solid state. It is a tweaker's dream with movable jumpers to adjust MM capacitance and resistance, MC resistance, gain, and eq for high and low frequencies. I use it as tone controls for my turntabl... | |
| Phono stage comparisons Darlington Labs MP8. MC and MM capable Internal EQ. Multiple settings accommodate any cartridge. Dead quiet and very musical. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer I had the Gustard R26. It sounded great but not better than the Dac Streamer in the Eversolo A8. Sold my R26 and haven't looked back. | |
| Pre amp recommendations I have the Eversolo A8 and use all the features. Streamer replaced my WIIM pro. Preamp is great. XLR out to my amp as well. I would seriously look at the new A10 which will equal any HiFi Rose model. | |
| Streamer recommendations Eversolo A8. Love all the features. I really like the ARC in which greatly improves youtube video performances. Sounds great as a preamp. Replaced my tube pre. Ripped all my cds to the internal SSD. Couldn't be happier. | |
