Eversolo DMP A8 - Is this the end for all other streamers?

[Salamander]

@20hzFlat If they're selling quickly, there must be a good reason. Here's the proof you are correct in the number of sales, https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=eversolo+A6/A8&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1

But what does that mean? Are you saying the Eversolo streamers are all hype, because I would strongly disagree. Like I said previously, some folk want a facility that the Eversolo doesn't give them, they may want to upgrade, they don't like the app. I like everything about the Eversolo, it gives me exactly what I want which is to stream music and play my music files, I don't need fancy facilities, I'm happy to put an album on and simply play from start to finish.

So lets put things into perspective here. So Far you have based your replies on the basis that everyone in the Uk have received a demo unit direct from A/Emotion claiming a couple and then followed it up with you looked on Hi-Fi Shark and seen 2 currently ForSale. Then you have the cheek to suggest I dont know what Im on about... Like Ive stated there is a whole bigger world out there other than the UK. No wonder the UK scene is dragging behind the rest and struggling with less and less shops when you read some of folk on forums.

Best to ignore the troll(s), which of course isn’t the same as ignoring people with a different view! On another thread I gave as a clear an appraisal as I could of what some equipment did and was accused of shilling the maker. It’s a shame as there are many really good posters here, covering a wide spread of views, who don’t resort to name calling.

As for the streamer; sorry not much to say as I’m happy using a Mac mini for streaming local files and a node2i for the relatively rare occasions when I stream from Tidal or the Beeb. One thing this thread reminds me of is that folk aren’t so much discussing the equipment and the methods used for transmitting data as their own hearing. Having lost a chunk of hearing suddenly (much now recovered thank goodness) I did start to get get a bit cynical about some posts but soon realised I was more frustrated that I could no longer discern the finer points of home reproduction. I can’t help wondering if that might be the case for those who are fond of shouting foo in all directions!

but ive been a silent reader for years.

And certainly no one would think any the less of you if you were to return to this approach.

A lot of the forums seem to be full of cliques, or very blinkered opinions and folk that will defend anything to the hilt because they own one, or suggest how fantastic something is that they surprisingly own. Its always Me, Me , Me. You can spot them a mile away. I havent even given my opinion on the Eversolo yet sound wise, feature wise, Connections or anything. I merely answered No to the question and a few facts that took seconds to prove when someone bothered to look. I may come across as blunt but its soon sifts out the folk I will avoid engaging with. They will probably do the same with me but I dont care it works for me lol Its a shame folk accuse you of being a shill, these folk would be prime candidates for me to avoid in the future : )

Stick around, there are plenty of good people on this forum, many with much experience of both the technical side and many with with much, considered, subjective experience and, dare I say it, plenty who are interested in both approaches and taking a balanced view. As for being called a shill? I couldn’t care less, it was just an example of how a, thankfully small, number choose to put over the views.
