Eversolo Dac Z10 @ Purité Audio

[Purité Audio]

Just ordered our first Eversolo Dac Z10 units UK RRp is £1940 inc vat and delivery.
Highlights:-

• Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA™), which completely separates the digital and analogue domains to minimise interference and preserve signal purity.
• Three independent linear power supplies individually power the left channel, system, and right channel, allowing each to operate in an ultra-low-noise environment.
• Two sets of AK4191 + AK4499 DACs for independent left and right channels - AKM’s Velvet Sound™.
• Fully balanced analogue preamplifier that employs precise dual-channel R2R volume control.
• Eversolo Precision Core™ OCXO Temperature-Controlled Crystal Oscillator + Phase-Locked Loop Technology with External 10 MHz & 25 MHz High-Precision Clock Support.
• FPGA Redefined - A built-in FPGA that shapes IIS data and refines the clock. Every digital signal is thus optimised to its purest form before reaching the DAC.
• Grounding Post - The grounding post channels noise away, eliminating even minor interference and preserving the purity of each note.
• 8-Mode IIS Digital Audio Input - Via IIS digital audio input, offers 8 switchable modes and supports up to 768kHz/ 32Bit PCM and DSD512 Native.
• Isolated AES/EBU Input - Features a dedicated isolated AES/EBU input, fully separating electrical noise between front-end and back-end devices.
• HDMI ARC Integration - Equipped with HDMI ARC, supporting both ARC and eARC modes for effortless integration into your home theatre system.
• 6.35mm Powerful Headphone Amplifier Module - Dedicated 6.35 mm headphone amplifier module that auto-detects impedance and adjusts gain.
• High Quality Bluetooth Module - Features a built-in Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module.
• 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen.
• Left/Right Balance Gain - Offers up to 15dB of left/right balance gain adjustment.
• Customise Your Sound - Offers 6 DAC filter characteristics, letting you switch freely to suit different musical atmospheres.
• Full Function Remote Control.
• High Quality USB and Trigger Cables Included.

I am sure that is all fabulous, but existing products are transparent beyond super human hearing, so I, as an Eversolo owner, am a tiny bit unsure where this product sits.

Great! So looking forward to seeing one of these ..

Right at the top of the most expensive dacs that Eversolo makes list!

[ErVikingo]

is it better than a cheap DAC?

 

[F1Fan72]

is it better than a cheap DAC?

Depends on the cheap DAC

 

[Purité Audio]

is it better than a cheap DAC?

Of course it’s much more expensive

8.8 inches is a goud sized argument !

Dual subwoofer integration?

 

[Sonic-Wall]

…but Eversolo missed to add a PEQ :-(

 

[Purité Audio]

Yes you have to get the T8 for that, pity.
Keith

 

[TheKoC]

…but Eversolo missed to add a PEQ :-(

but instead 3 independent power supplies, much more useful

 

[Benz G1L]

Wondering if its 8 mode configuration IIS input can be switched to accept DSD through an SACD transport (such as my Sony XA5400ES). I'm presently enoying this feature through my Bryston BDA-3 DAC.

 

[Benz G1L]

Can its IIS switchable modes be programmed to accept a native DSD signal through HDMI (from a compatible SACD transport or universal player)? Does the preamp section also include an HT bypass?

So should I assume that you don’t know the answers to my own questions?

I am not allowed to share the whole manual, above is the relevant headphone section.
This is the specs page.

OK so let me simply repeat my questions, which are very basic applications from the unit:
Can its IIS switchable modes be programmed to accept a native DSD signal through HDMI (from a compatible SACD transport or universal player)? Does the preamp section also include an HT bypass?
