Other choices

I was super interested in the Eversolo A10 and was pretty set on buying it. But I decided to expand my search to consider other choices. I found and bought an Auralic Vega S1 streamer/dac/pre-amp.

Admittedly I have not heard the Eversolo, but the Vega S1 sounds REALLY good. I'm very happy with it.

Interestingly, it too uses an ESS Sigma Delta Chip but "only" to decode the digital signal. It has an FPGA circuit to handle all filtering and post processing.

Here's how Auralic describes it's "Fusion Dac":

This innovative approach involves modifying a high-performance, manufacturer DAC chip by bypassing most of its functions, such as PLL, digital filter, and oversampling circuits. Instead, AURALiC deploys its proprietary clock reconstruction, digital filter, and oversampling technologies, ensuring that only the precise switching network inside the DAC chip is utilized for the final digital-to-analog conversion stage.


The Vega S1 has Anaglog R2R volume controls, Anaglog and Digital inputs, Dual 60fs Femto Clocks and a full-featured phone/tablet LightnighDS control App.

When evaluating streaming DACs I'd recommend adding the Vega S1 to your list.
