Eversolo T8 USB transfer rate issue.


I have installed an Eversolo T8 streamer, and have an issue, has anyone else seen this problem ad/or what am I missing.

If I use the USB to DAC output the frequency is limited to 48 kHz.

There is a setting for "EOS", use original speed, but that does not affect the transfer rate, it is stuck at 48 kHz.  On models other than the T8 there is a menu option to use the original bit rate, but I cannot find it!  

24/192 is fine on Coax.

Can anyone help?

A further note for anyone purchasing this device, if you are going to install an SSD and copy music files onto it using your computer (at least for Windows, I know not about macos) you MUST format the SSD as NTFS or it will not show up as a shere.

I also recently bought the T8, and this is not a bug but rather a setting. I happen to use Qobuz connected to USB, and this is how I resolved this issue: While a song is in progress, tap on the stream rate status area (outlined in gold). This brings up a screen that the allows you to select maximum stream rate. Simply tap 24/192, and you should be good to go.

Many thanks - I'l try that tomorrow.

I have high hopes for this component, it does (or it claims to do) all the stuff that I need and seems to sound excellent.

The 24/192 digitization of the Sveshnikov Rachmaninov Vespers (from High Def Tape Transfers) was very close to the vinyl - and did not have the surface slight ssssss of the Melodiya pressing.  The Koetsu RSPP and Sutherland Dos Locos are magic and impossible to beat!

Retiredaudioguy, I agree that the T8 sounds phenomenal. I've also noticed that its control of sibilance is superb. I listen to a lot of live BBC 3 and other music broadcasts that employ female announcers, and the T8 presents their voices much more naturally than other streaming sources in my opinion. I am incredibly pleased with its sonics.

I have repeatedly recommended people to NOT buy eversolo , still some get fooled by the marketing. 

@bojack Sibilance control is a big deal for me, as it grates on my ears like few other anomalies. It is also one of the few areas where DAC reconstruction filter differences are clearly, and repeatably, obvious. Even on a modest (if overperforming for the price) Topping DX3 Pro - which i got because its headphone amp drives HiFiMan Sundaras easily - the brick wall filter, surprisingly to me, controlled sibilance on female vocals noticeably better than other settings, better than the Bluesound Node by itself.
