I checked their post history. I'd suggest waiting for others to give impressions on the Icon, or better - measurements.

I have both still, Eversolo DMP-A 8 and BLUESOUND Icon. DMP-A8 has 6” touch screen, and Icon 5” non touch screen. I never use touch screen, as viewing is good enough.This simple non touch display is certainly not a milestone for Bluesound. This is a display, that only shows information from the BluOs API
The same thing, and more, can be done much cheaper: BluOS-from-across-the-room-display

For headphone users, I find the controls on the device ingenious.This simple non touch display is certainly not a milestone for Bluesound.
Dirac Live should be rolled out this year. That will bring another sound boost.Bottom line, Bluesound Icon sounds better than A6 and A8, hands down.
"Every time"? With no controlled testing or measuring?I have both still, Eversolo DMP-A 8 and BLUESOUND Icon. DMP-A8 has 6” touch screen, and Icon 5” non touch screen. I never use touch screen, as viewing is good enough.
I’m very busy, near Christmas now. I list DMP-A8 on CAM, when things slow down a bit.
I control everything from APP on my IPhone for Eversolo A8 and Icon. Sitting 8 ft away from streamer, I use only iPhone to control. iPhone or iPad controlling is great.
Really, who gets up to touch screen and then go sit down. Really? I doubt many do, probably almost none.
BLUESOUND put everything possible for best sonic sound, at great price. I understand Eversolo A6 has touch screen. Bottom line, Bluesound Icon sounds better than A6 and A8, hands down. I choose best sonic sound for the many every time.
Buy Icon, you’ll be very happy with the incredible sound.
DMP-A8 cost $1398 CND
Icon cost $1399 CND
What do you want to hear? It’s 100% obvious to me and my friends. Node Icon way more spacious sounding, night and day. Close eyes, have someone play same song back and forth. Play same songs, soundstage alone, is the give away."Every time"? With no controlled testing or measuring?
I'll prompt you again while you still have both devices. How about at least trying a proper level matched blind test as recommended in these parts? Nothing to lose, after all.
If you aren't up to the task, fair enough.
Since you prefer the Icon sighted, that's a good choice for you, and enjoy it: but be aware your recommendation won't carry weight with most of the regulars here, and there will be pushback if you keep making this kind of generalised claim without actual evidence.

Maybe some people like more closed in sound, I don’t. I definitely enjoy big soundstage. Notes all over the room, yes.
Let it go man. Is there a sound stage measuring meter? Haha SO OBVIOUS, 1000%

I agree, much betterDirac Live should be rolled out this year. That will bring another sound boost.
Up to a little Christmas Trolling I see. Might want to read the room a bit. This is Audio Science after all. Without data to support your theory. This is just your opinion, even with Audiophile Ears. Whatever the heck they are. We shall not take the bait. Consider this a friendly warning that we will not tolerate Trolls who just carelessly toss a bait into the water.What do you want to hear?

Your science must be from another dimension separate from all these real scientists. I watched this last week and it's highly recommended.Science is my audiophile ears. I give only my personal opinion. It’s your prerogative to believe or not.
