EverSolo DAC-Z8 Compact Audio Decoder DAC

Description

The EverSolo DAC Z8 is a compact audio decoder with excellent workmanship and higher performance. Coming with the 3rd integration of XMOS 316 and ESS Flagship ES9038 PRO DAC chip, the decoding formats support up to DSD512, good pre-amp performance and strong headphone driving force. Rich inputs make the device be a good partner of high end headphones and stereo speakers.

High Performance DAC ES9038Pro 
ESS flagship ES9038Pro DAC is known as the industry benchmark, with relatively lower total harmonic distortion level, extremely low noise and distortion.

Professional Calibration
The DAC-Z8 has professional calibration and circuit design. The total harmonic distortion ratio which has been measured is -124dB ( 0.000062%), signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 133dB.

DAC-Z8 includes MQA (Master Quality Authentication) technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.

Monitor-level Headphone Amplifier
The professional headphone driver circuit in DAC-Z8 has excellent audio indicators and strong driving force, which means DAC-Z8 can be used as a high-performance headphone amplifier and drive 16-300ohm HiFi headphones, with both high and low gain output options.

Exclusive Controller APP
DAC-Z8 can be easily controlled by mobile phone with the EVER SOLO Controller app. Almost all settings can be done in the APP via Bluetooth technology.
