I’m often asked what no-compromise hi-fi streamer I would recommend to someone who already uses a world-class DAC and an equally impressive preamplifier. For a couple of years, I couldn’t recommend anything meaningful. Sure, there’s Lumin, which has been crafting streamers for a while, but I never liked their clumsy interface and monochrome displays. There’s also Aurender, which makes high-end streamers with beautiful displays, but Aurender doesn’t support Roon; it uses a proprietary streaming platform. And let’s not forget Aurender’s prices, which can get sky-high.
Today, however, is the day you can finally get a proper hi-fi streamer that integrates Roon, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, app support, room correction, EQ, and more—without forcing you to pay for extra features you’ll never use, like a DAC or a preamp section. EverSolo’s T8 is the hi-fi streamer I’ve been waiting for for a couple of years. It sells for US$1,380 or €1,380 and let’s talk about it.
