Thoughts on Eversolo T-8

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.

@ghdprentice — there are many more posts from people who say “I’ve heard about problems with Eversolo products” than there are from people who actually say “I have had a problem.” This serves to make the problem seem greater than it truly is, when in fact, such secondhand accounts of someone else’s problems are really meaningless. I currently own an A10, and previously owned an A8. Both of them have performed flawlessly and sound great. I don’t believe the actual number Of problems with Eversolo products is actually significantly greater than that with many other products.  However, I will admit that their customer support could be a little more robust — but that’s only if you actually need customer support. I haven’t.
