Has anybody heard / seen any further update on this?

Several articles about it were published within the past couple weeks, but no reviews yet that I've seen.




 
Looking forward to seeing the reviews / etc..
 
Arrives apparently towards the end of the month.

Bought one, it's lovely. Great UI, sound quality is subjectively better than the DAC-Z8 which I owned for the past two years. The only thing that bothers me with Eversolo: no updates to the Thesycon driver. It's stuck on 5.58 released back in 2021 (!), and there have been no updates since then, although it should be a trivial matter to update it. Just absolutely incomprehensible. @eversolo do better, guys!
 
As it’s coming up to Panto season, ‘can the Z10 sound better than the Z8, oh yes it can oh no it can’t.’
It can’t.

Since you are an Eversolo dealer, I would appreciate it if you put a little pressure on them regarding the driver update. Comments such as this one, on the other hand, are not appreciated.
 
As my old aunt Flo was fond of saying, ‘the truth hurts’.

Another truth is that being pleasant is a better sales strategy. I wouldn’t expect an audible difference but the only way to know for sure is independent blind testing as advocated by ASR which isn’t available otherwise it is just a subjective opinion.
 
Level matched unsighted comparison is something you must do for yourself.

Yes. It’s your money and you have to listen to it in your system with your music so ultimately the individual should decide for themselves. Certainly you may wish to use you tube reviews and forums as a source of info as to what you might what to try. But they are all subject to human biases and preferences. Certainly I wouldn’t take the opinions of people who haven’t even listened to equipment seriously.
 
Had a quick question on this DAC, that I was hoping someone could answer. I was initially considering purchasing a better streamer (currently own a Cambridge Audio MXN10), but thought I might want to purchase a separate DAC and just use the current streamer as a transport.

The issue is that the only input I'd be able to use on the Z10 would be Digital Coax. Most of the reviews I've seen they are utilizing the I2S port. My question is what would I be losing out on by utilizing the digital Coax (besides the bit rate) or, perhaps a better question...would it be even worth considering this set up if I can't use the I2S port?

Thanks!
 
Why on earth would you use i2S a non standard protocol.
Just audiophile nonsense.

Digital coax is more than sufficient for human ears ;) .
Why do You think the Cambridge Audio MXN10 does no longer serve Your expectations?
