Update. After dealing with the need to do a hard reset after power glitches, I went to my dealer and by a process of elimination, the issue seems to be using a wired ethernet connection to my mesh router, it was having difficult establishing an IP connection. Using wifi, I have not experienced this issue since, but its still early days. I had an aurender that would not work on a mesh system either. This narrows streamer choices to just those with built in wifi. Fortunately, the T8 has very good SQ into a Weiss 204. The app is very intuitive and IMO much cleaner than the aurender conductor, but that’s splitting hairs.
Eversolo T8
I recently purchased a T8. So far I am very pleased with the SQ and the ios app. Qobuz direct is a bit iffy. The question I have for the forum is if the T8 is interrupted by a sudden power loss, it just won’t correctly reboot and I have had to do a hard reset with a paper clip.
Is anyone experiencing this ? I have the T8 plugged into a PS Audio P300. Does anyone have experience plugging the T8 into a UPS or does it reduce SQ?
thanks

I have had a T8 for several months now, and so far it has been a rock-solid performer that feeds a nice clean digital stream into my Yggdrasil+ DAC. I like the remote as well. I use Roon for almost everything, so I haven't taken much advantage of the T8's built-in Tidal and Qobuz clients, or any of its other stuff; it's solely working as a Roon endpoint for me, and doing a fine job of it. This is after having the HiFi Rose fancy jobber (over $5K) that broke down after less than 2 weeks -- necessitating a return to Crutchfield for a full return. |

I’ve had the T8 and the Z10 for about 3 months hard wired with Ethernet with zero issues. I second the comments on the interface and build quality. Likewise, I agree Quobuz connect is preferred to the app on the T8. Roon works very well on it as well. This is one of the few streamers I found that allows me to have the SiriusXM app on it, which, for me is important. I wish you the best with your time with it and hope you find it works well. Maybe the best thing I can say about it: I don’t even think about it, it just works and I get to enjoy the music I love. PS: @jbhiller thanks for posting those links, I may very well try your set up out. |
