Make way for the future....

Has anyone attempted to replace an existing system with a one box solution like this? The NAD M33 perhaps, which has been out longer, or others? Just wondering if anyone has tried and what was the result.

I am always interested in downsizing so a device like this has some appeal to me.

I have a Bel Canto C5i in my second system currently. Wonderful device! Only sixty watts/ch though which gets you a long but not quite all the way with most speakers.  It has most everything including phono stage but needs an external streamer.

A useful product but one step up from a table radio. A good integrated and a great pair of speakers will do so much more.

Well, what do you think EVO is designed for :-) I wish people are not so quick to dismiss a product without learning first it’s capabilities. A good integrated on its own, without a source is just a pretty box.

It is an integrated amp.   A modern integrated amp with modern features.  Do you know that it is not good?  The article thinks otherwise.

A great pair of loudspeakers and a good integrated to drive the loudspeakers is the first step to a really decent system. Add the source of your choice. History has shown, all in one solutions don't stand the test of time and are compromised by their design to do it all.
