EverSolo Z8 DAC & Amp Review

[Airofly]

Thank you, I think I'll wait a little longer, as my experience tells me, if a decision is hard, it's not the right decision. Now I can buy the eversolo z8 for $600. But perhaps when the sale ends, the price will decrease even more, as it usually happens))). I'm from Russia and China are very close, and I'm not in a hurry to buy. Maybe you're right and we need to wait a little bit when they make a new super device) I'm just new to this and wanted to hear the opinion of experienced people)

There are lots of really affordable DAC/Amp Combos these days with excellent performance. Not really much of a reason to "wait" for anything unless you have a nice system right now.

Has anyone else had problems connecting their Z8 to an LG TV's optical out and/or Bluetooth?
Tried multiple setting changes on the TV - a new LG 65 inch QNED80 - without success. The Z8 recognised the TV and connected over Bluetooth, but refused to convert its digital stream to audio. Over optical there was again no conversion and sound.
The optical input is functioning - no problems connecting it to an old Panasonic plasma. The issue seems to be with the LG. I read elsewhere that ESS Sabre DACs often have problems taking optical data from LG TVs, though there are possible firmware fixes.
Any ideas?
