Thoughts on Eversolo T-8


I have been using a Bluesound Node, most recent model, as a streamer with a Chord Hugo TT-2. With a limited budget I am considering the Eversolo T-8 as a streamer transport. Has anyone either listened to, or own one? If so what are your thoughts and anyone have suggestions in the under 2000.00 threshold as a standalone alone streamer transport?

I have had mine for about two weeks and I love it. Tons of settings and it sounds really good. I also came from using a Node. Good luck.

Thanks for your response, grunge1000, if you don’t mind, how do you like the operating system in comparison to the BluOS? 

Hello Theo--It's great. The reason I chose the T8 is because it supports Amazon Music and I must say that the T8 interface is just as nice as BlueOS.

 

Cheers,

There are a notable number of posts where Eversolo units have failed and often have firmware - software bugs. Also of non-existent or spotty support. So, if you go ahead, make sure you get it from a dealer that will protect you in case you have trouble.

Those are more red flags than I would go with. But they are supposed to sound pretty good. Also, research the app used to control the unit... if this isn’t great you’ll be pulling your hair out. 

Theo, I've had the T8 now for a month and it's already seen heavy use in my system...approx 12 hours a day. It's been rock solid, not one issue. And the sound is phenomenally good, with the words 'composed' and 'nonfatiguing' first coming to mind. I find myself saying, "Man does that sound good" 10 times a day! I have it connected via usb to a Schiit 2/64 DAC and then thru an all-tube front end to either Spendors or Dynaudios. This thing makes me smile, and the UI is awesome...glitch free and fast. Time will tell if it's reliable, but for now, it rocks.
