Eversolo T8 Streaming Transport (OPEN)

Eversolo T8 Streaming TransportDAC-less network transport with isolated I²S, AES/EBU, USB, coaxial, and optical outputs, femtosecond master clock, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, and dual-SSD storage up to 16 TBThe Eversolo T8 is a purpose-built digital streamer without an onboard DAC so the entire platform—power, clocking, I/O, and OS—can focus on delivering a clean, stable digital signal to your external converter. A CNC-machined aluminum-alloy chassis houses a 6" LCD touchscreen with a shielded, physically isolated display assembly and dedicated full-function touch buttons for low-noise, direct operation.Clocking and power are central to the design. A super-silent linear supply feeds the digital core, while an ultra-high-precision femtosecond master clock minimizes jitter to preserve timing integrity. The result is stable transmission across all outputs with reduced interference and crosstalk.Connectivity covers modern platforms and networks: Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, and an SFP fiber network port for electrically isolated data paths. Local libraries are supported by dual internal SSD slots (up to 2 x 8 TB). The Eversolo Control app provides cross-platform management, and the interface supports gapless playback, global search, and cross-service playlists.Super-Silent Linear Power Supply & Femtosecond ClockThe internal linear PSU is engineered for low noise and stable rails to the audio subsystem. Paired with an ultra-high-precision femtosecond-grade master clock, the T8 targets jitter reduction at the source so downstream DACs receive a tightly timed signal.Isolated Digital Outputs (I²S, AES/EBU, USB, Coaxial, Optical)The I²S (HDMI) port is isolated and offers 8 output mode options for broad DAC compatibility. The fully balanced, isolated AES/EBU output (XLR) supports long cable runs with strong common-mode rejection. Coaxial is an isolated interface specified to 24-bit/192 kHz PCM. Optical TOSLINK and isolated USB Audio round out the options. Output maxima are detailed in the specifications below.Network Architecture: SFP + RJ-45 + Wi-Fi 6The SFP fiber network port provides electrical isolation from network noise and EMI for stable, reliable data transfer. SFP modules are not included and must be compatible with the selected SFP switch; supports single-mode single-fiber and single-mode dual-fiber optical modules; SFP+ is not supported. The RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps, and Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 G/5 G) offers high bandwidth and low latency. The Wi-Fi module can be fully powered off; when off, the remote switches to IR.EOS Engine, Streaming Protocols & Gapless PlaybackEversolo’s EOS (Original Sampling Rate Audio Engine) preserves native sample rates by bypassing system SRC to enable lossless, bit-true output from supported apps (including third-party services such as Apple Music). Lossless streaming protocols include Roon Ready, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, DLNA/UPnP, and JPLAY Certified. The player supports gapless playback with automatic sample-rate matching for seamless album listening.evotune™ Room Correction & PEQevotune™ provides FIR-based room correction with measurements taken via a USB measurement mic or a smartphone mic. A built-in 10-band parametric EQ allows precise frequency, gain, and Q control. The platform also supports FIR filter import, loudness control, and dynamic compression to tailor in-room response.Library, UI & ControlThe interface supports customizable theme colors (light/dark and multiple color schemes), multidimensional music-library views with smart metadata extraction, cross-platform device playlists that combine local and streaming tracks, global quick search, and easy access to LAN computers, NAS, and network shares. Control is available via the on-screen UI, the Eversolo Control app, and the included remote.Processor ArchitectureA quad-core ARM processor handles the OS and UI, paired with 4 GB DDR4 and 64 GB eMMC. A third-generation XMOS multi-core USB audio processor manages high-rate PCM and DSD transport for precise, low-latency data handling.Listen at WillThe Listen at Will feature can randomly play across logged-in streaming services and the local library for effortless discovery.SpecificationsChassis Material: Aluminium alloyDisplay: 6" LCD touchscreenInternal Memory: 4 GB DDR4 RAM, 64 GB eMMCProcessor: Quad-core ARM, 3rd-generation XMOS multi-core audio processorUSB Ports: 2 x USB 3.0Ethernet: RJ-45 (10/100/1000 Mbps)Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6 (2.4G + 5G dual band)SFP Fiber Network: Compatible with single-mode single-fiber and dual-fiber modules (not included).
