Quick Eversolo T8 Review

Interested in this streamer.  Has anyone that have gotten one of the early batches compared differences, if any, on the ethernet vs SFP fiber connection?  

Glad you’re enjoying your new streamer.  Hans B. Just did a YouTube review.  Eversolo equipment has a ton of features but I had a bad experience with their A6 and A8 streaming DACs.  They wouldn’t stay connected to my wi-fi and they offer little support.  I went with a used Innuos Zen MK3 from a great local dealer.  It updates occasionally through wi-fi and they do offer service though at a cost if online support isn’t enough.  It doesn’t have a screen or all of the features that Eversolo does but I just care about quality sound and reliability and so far so good.  Love that the CD ripper allows me to have my CDs on the same device with one USB connection to my Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC.  A great pairing.  The Sense app works well but i’m now using Qobuz Connect from my Qobuz app using my iPad.  Highly recommended.  

Bah humbug! The Audiophile Style reviewer didn't say he changed out his switch just sfp modules. I found the T8 didn't like my Cisco, but it had no problem with my LHY or TP-Link. So, while that's still an issue, it doesn't mean that the SFP is altogether broken. 

I never really rely on Wifi for the streamers I just plug it in directly to Ethernet so I unfortunately can't speak to that aspect.

Surprised to see that some have had problems with Eversolo.  My A6 has run without any issues even after I changed out the power supply.  I thought that if it survived that , it was a pretty good unit. 

My T8 should be here this week.  I am replacing the 2021 Bluesound Node with it.  I expect that there will be a few bugs to work out and then smooth sailing.  I have no need to do any room correction so no need to worry about that.  I will let the Anthem take care of it.
