I have an Innuos Pulse Mini and love it, and it is probably within your budget. The Sense app is excellent! Another great option is a used Lumin U1 Mini.
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?

@thriftyaudio Hello there, could you please tell us the name of the seller in Canada? |
I am currently using a Bluesound Node 2i moded with a TeddyPardo LPS. I have a T8 on order. The Bluesound is feeding a PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1 moded by APS Transformers. I've been wanting to upgrade my streamer for some time, and have considered Lumin and Aurender. However, neither supports the streaming services that I use, Amazon Music HD and Idagio. I will do direct comparisons between the Bluesound and the T8 when I get it, and will post the results. Soundstage and imaging are my hot buttons! The rest of my system is a PS Audio Stellar Gold Preamp, PS Audio M700 monoblocks, and Legacy Audio Signature SE speakers. |
The Eversolo T8 is better than the Bluesound Node Icon USB out as a streamer. I would say noticeably better. (I compared the Bluesound for several hours as well). My prior post was that the Holo Audio Red ($950) I2S out was better than the Eversolo ($1350) I2S out and noticeably so. The Eversolo sounds slightly veiled in comparison and as I said losses some fine detail as a result. It's a trade off - do you want something with a fun screen or something that sounds better.
