EverSolo Z8 DAC & Amp Review

[voxxonline]

Hi, my first post here.
Would like to ask how owners of Z8 have found it so far, any pros or cons and if I should consider any alternatives.
Thank you

In terms of SQ it is completely transparent see Amir’s review/measurement, I would choose a well designed dac on the facilities you require.

I own one since April last year, and have since been constantly listening to it an average of 2 hours a day.
I am extremely satisfied with its resolution and detail retrieving.
Using it through USB from my RPi-based player, and optical from my Sony TV.
No cons at all. It's a DAC and it does its job perfectly.

Thanks. I am getting back to hi-fi after a hiatus.
Just completed an amplifier build, pre should be finished soon. I am using old'ish Chinese dac 9 by Weiliang (fed straight from my laptop), modified with opamps and caps upgrade.
I want to try a new incarnation of the digital-to-analogue stage, what the market has to offer.
Z8 is on my radar.

Maybe consider the DMP A6 Streamer with built-in DAC. Similar DAC performance + a streamer w/ local file storage. A bit more expensive but you get a streamer to boot! Eversolo also now offer it's big sister the DMP A8. You will need to shell out a few more bucks to snag it though. Close to $2000.

Thanks, those too in consideration. Will wait until wiim ultra is out, and decide after.

Nothing much to add here, except i have mine from October last year,
works flawless (so far)

Thanks. I am looking into r2r options too, primarily at holo cyan 2. I wonder what this brings to the table with such a price differential.

Hello,

As anyone got this and the mojo2 to compare the dacs?

I haven’t heard the Mojo but unless it is extremely poorly designed I wouldn’t expect there to be any difference between the two.
