My N130 never wowed me, in fact I thought it was okay but I thought it would be more based on KZfaq praise it received. But the Eversolo wowed me. The sound was exciting, bass was on point, vocals were riveting. It was what I thought the Node would be. I'm sure the Node X is on par now but Eversolo makes me happy. The screen is amazing, adjustable, can be turned off, its so versatile. I love it and I'm sure it'll get better when broken in more.

I have an original Mercury using Volumio (which interfaces poorly for this Apple user). It is connected with I²S streaming Qobuz..using my Pontus II, the sound quality is very good. I also have an SSD installed in the Mercury, which I could never use, because as a MAC-user the path to utilizing that SSD is so fraught with tech difficulties that I just stopped trying. Because of your review, I am considering the Eversolo as I could utilize my SSD in it, have better sound quality and a better user-interface! Win, Win, Win! 😀 If Eversolo introduced a DAC-less streamer with an I²S connection at a lower cost, that would be ideal!!!

Also which one you prefer should take in consideration of your speakers. Light with dark and dark with light. For instance Focals may need a darker richer dac, and Harbeth may need lighter leaner. Matching stuff and being good at it just take experience and time. Or a bunch of money to brute force your experience.

@@sonicplayroompiano4302ll…it’s controversial (Amir at Audio Science Review dismisses it…others tout it) and I²S has a lot of variables. Basically, you have more wires….3 I believe is what is used. Therefore you can keep the clock data separate on it own line, the music data on its own line and same for the instruction data. HDMI cables have more wires then 3…so they are not fully utilized. The Same thing is done, to a much lesser degree using Ethernet cable on some sources as it has multiple wires. Other connections like SPIDF, etc have to mix the data together and it has to be separated by the DAC. In theory keeping the data separate is obviously better…but apparently it’s not always audible. The HDMI cables HAVE to be short too…or the signal decays. I spent $100 on an 18" HDMI cable from Italy, so that is why I want all units to have the connection available! 😅

Zen Streamer! So glitchy! Bought it last week and 😢. Should have bought Eversolo DAP6. Only plus thing about Zen Streamer is that you can connect to a DDC and I did. Sound quality is good. You're probably reading a lot from somewhere that investing in an LPS is going to improve your Zen Streamer sq. I suggest that if possible ask the shop to let you have it for home test. Am sure they have a display or demo LPS. Ask yourself what percentage of improvements you would expect with LPS and you're satisfied? 10%?

​@@strongchallenger2269 I've had the Zen stream for a while, well before the Eversolo was available. LHY Audio LPS does make a 5 to 10% difference in performance. I'm using it with a Denafrips Hermes DDC and Pontus 2 DAC. Overall sound quality is fantastic. I use Roon and have no problem with glitchiness with the Zen stream... But it's not something I would recommend to people unless with Roon. I've been looking for a more upscale streamer but don't want to spend $2,500 on one. So it's probably going to be the Eversolo, probably the master edition once it's easily available. Thanks for your reply and happy listening!

Great review thank you! I just got a Wiim Pro and have been using it as a streamer for my Arcam AVR 850. I found it to be a fantastic streamer for $149 with great software tools. I have been curious about upgrading to an external DAC and even purchase a new NODE X with their new ESS Sabre DAC. When I did a complete comparison, though the NODE X is a great device and sounds very good and many state it is far better than the GEN 3 I ended up sending it back. I liked the combination of the WiiM Pro and the Arcam better. That being said, I am curious if the DAC in the A6 DAC would outperform the internal DAC of my Arcam AVR 850?. There are tons of cool features for certain in the A6 but for me if it has a DAC it has to sound better than what I am currently using features aside.

There are two companies selling power supply upgrades for the Node - PD Creative and BeaTechnik LHY.

Love all your reviews. When you were using the DMP-A6, did you find a way to add tracks from multiple sources (NAS, Tidal, Qobuz etc) into a single currently-playing queue, like you can on a BlueSound NODE? After reading all the great reviews I purchased an A6 and thought this feature would be a fundamental function of any streamer (having owned a NODE for years). Maybe I’m just missing something but it looks to me like you can only play track from each individual source at any one time. Thanks for all your hard work putting these great reviews together.

No I didn't find a way to do it. That lack of managing a playlist is the biggest peeve I have with the device. I mentioned things like no way to add a single track into the current playlist even from the same source (let's say Qobuz for example but a song is from a different playlist). So far, they updated the list to allow us to rearrange the order of the tracks which was also not possible at the time of this review (and I believe I complained about it in the software section). So I truly hope they'll keep adding more options with future updates.

My dilemma: I currently have Allo DigiOne signature/Paul Hynes LPSU feeding a Loxjie D50 DAC which from what I gather has more/less similar sound signature as E70. The main reason I've been hanging on to my DigiOne is that I can run LMS (Logitech) software on it. Those who are familiar with LMS will probably understand. I would upgrade to DMP-A6 in a heartbeat if I could get better sound without losing the advantages of LMS. I suppose the Innuos might be a solution as I believe (not sure) it runs LMS or similar proprietary software but then I would probably feel the urge to buy a costly external LPSU to make sure I'm getting the most out of it. Then there's the fact that you mention that it sounds brighter than the DMP-A6 which could be an issue.

Having your comments about Tidal/Qobuz streaming, I would be curious to know if you ever encountered any device which can stream from these services matching quality when playing from local drive and without those rounded edges and fussiness between notes. I haven’t found despite looking for such in last 5 years…

I haven't heard anything being able to do that so far. Streaming always sounds a bit softer on any device I ever had a chance to hear in my or someone else's system.

Hello Srboljub, excellent review, many thanks for sharing it. Following one of your previous review I took my first step in the dedicated DAC world with the SMSL DO100, which demonstrated to be an excellent sounding device for the money. This Eversolo device seems to be a killer deal and definitely the next step in my upgrade path, and if I'm not wrong shares the same DAC configuration of the DO100. How would you compare these two devices sound wise? Thanks!
@iiWiReviews
@iiWiReviews Жыл бұрын
I can't tell you how they compare in great detail because I don't have DO100 with me anymore. But going by the memory, this one is an upgrade since it's neck to neck with SU9 pro which I know is the best SMSL DAC I've tried up to $500. That means greater transparency in general.

I have node n130 with PDcreative top end power supply and the A6 master edition. I'm still getting used to the A6. So far I've got more fatigue listening to the A6 than the N130. Yes, the A6 definitely has more detail and it presents its information very differently. However, the bottom end on the N130 is much deeper and there is a feeling of a bigger presentation over all. The A6 definitely is more detailed but it's certainly not as warm and easy on the ears as the N130. I've only had the A6 4 days and it's been on non stop . I've also found that going into my Bryston BDA 1 Dac is a bigger presentation than the onboard ESS dac, plus there's more bottom end. I suppose I'll have to do a power supply upgrade for the A6, but which one? On the Node, I tried an Sbooster and it was NOT good and went back to the PDCreative which is much larger in scale and warmer and deeper in the bottom end. oh boy! Last night I heard of the Eversolo A8 with the AKM chipset.. BUGGER!!! silky smooth sound apparently.. is probably what I would have liked. I've tried ESS Docs in the past and didn't like them, but I'm still holding out hopes for the A6 master.

Been keeping an eye on the Eversolo DMP-A6 to replace my Zen Stream for the last month waiting for Amazon to have them restock again they sold out quick the last time and finally amazon had more of them today was able to grab one less than a hour later they sold out again I think this will become the go to streamer for alot of people in this price range

Thanks for your review, very informative. I however was left with one critical question. You described the standalone streamer with a very wide three dimensional soundstage but the DAC as narrow. In the end, how do they sound together? Does the streamer spaciousness in soundstage is shadowed by the DAC's narrowness? It would be a deal breaker for me!
@iiWiReviews
@iiWiReviews Жыл бұрын
That big soundstage was obvious using na R2R DAC like Gustard R26 or my own tube DAC. With internal one it definitely gets limited to the avarage size of chip DACs at this price point, like Topping D90LE for example. That's not too narrow by itself or compared to budget DACs but it is compared to Denafrips Ares II, Musician Pegasus, Gustard R26, etc. So I guess it depends on where you coming from.

Good review. I thought it is the same as my innuos zenith mk2 as a transport when I did my review., agree it bested the node by a way but not sure of the comparison to your innuos when Steve huff had it besting out a lumin u2 mini for double the money which kind of chimed with my experience as a giant killer against the zenith. As regards the zen stream it doesn’t have anywhere near the connection issues and I think this is a bit more balanced as a transport than the somewhat fluid detail of the zen stream which was very good sound wise but not as balanced with detail.

Thanks Simon. I've watched Steve's review already and I'm watching your's right now - very good. 👍 As for Pulse Mini, it was a very short session with a friend of mine, we played just few songs on both... I'll do a more critical listen in the next few days and use that in the Mini Pulse review. Cheers!

Good review mate. I think one of the antennas is Bluetooth. I am very curious to know why/how the native tidal app would sound better than tidal connect? Also if whether or not as a standalone streamer this would still beat a Pd creative modded node 2i? When I upgraded my node 2i with pd creative and linear psu there was at least a %15 improvement in soundstage, resolution and tighter bass. It was one of those wow moments where it was worth every penny. Were you using your Schumann Dac for this review by the way?
@iiWiReviews
@iiWiReviews Жыл бұрын
That puzzles me too but I demonstrated the difference to a friend and he noticed it immediately. Something is obviously done differently depending on the protocol used. I can't compare it to the modded Node because it's a loaner that will have to go back soon. As for the DAC, I used Gustard R26 and my own DIY tube DAC that's actually my daily driver for the last six months or so.
