As your next upgrade, I would recommend switching to Qobuz. Streamers are designed to get the maximum fidelity from a streaming service, so they only support high quality well established ones. Qobuz is pretty universally accepted as the best. By doing this you will increase the sound quality of your system and open yourself to world of high end streamers should you want to go there..
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?

Well these threads cann be funny. I think you here about failures for Eversolo, is because they sell so many. What is the percentage of failure ? Also I have read about people liking the T8 over the Holo Red ? So really you have to take a consensus from many to truly evaluate a best guess, as that is all it is a guess. |
@calieng Thank you for your feedback on T8 and Holo Red. How is the Holo Red compared with T8 in terms of tone. Does Red sound noticeably warmer? |
Regarding the Red, I have heard that although it is warmer, its upper mids can sound a bit glary and sharp (compared to the Mercury V3). Others have commented that its forward presentation makes the imaging stand out more, but that attention-grabbing character can make it sound less natural or realistic (than the Ultra Rendu). While sending the T8 back (due to hints of brightness), I also considered replacing it with the Red. However, given the mixed reviews, I may need to continue the journey again. Fortunately, the Rivo Plus continues to serve me well in my first rig. |
