Quick Eversolo T8 Review

After relying on an iPhone using the camera adapter to allow for hi-rez streaming (did this for literally years), I broke down and ordered the new Eversolo T8, which arrived today. This is connected to a Bifrost 2/64 dac. Set up was effortless with no problems at all: connected to wi-fi, mirrored to my iPhone using the EversoloConnect app, chose all of my settings, and began listening to Qobuz via Qobuz Connect phone app all within 20 minutes of unboxing. It is an absolutely beautiful device, and man does it sound fantastic. This streamer is badass...highly, highly recommended.

Congrats!  I remember going from my iPad with a camera adapter to a modest iFi Zen Stream (w/ iPowerX power supply) and being amazed at how much better even that sounded and also how much I regretted not getting a dedicated streamer sooner. 🙄  Live and learn.  Enjoy!!!

Looks like a nice piece.  It must be notably better than the iPhone. 

I took baby steps.  Phone to Ifi to Bluesound Node.  Now a Innuos Zen Mk3.

How does it sound?  I assume you're connected to the dac by usb?

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been agonizing over this since I read about this one coming out. I currently have the DMP-A6 Master with the TP Power supply. I have that connected to a DENAFRIPS Hermes via USB which feeds into the Pontus II 12th DAC via I2S…been wondering if the T8 would be an upgrade?

I suspect it's all fine as an endpoint,  would not say this was much of an review more than an new found love affair.  More curious to read what you think of it in about 6 months..

( I have no love for eversolo after my brief ownership of an A6 )
