At HomeTheaterReview, he breaks down the latest gear and keeps readers up to speed on all things tech.

Eversolo is back with a fresh batch of gear for digital audio fans, and it’s all being unveiled this week at High End Munich 2025. The headline act is the new Eversolo Play, an all-in-one streaming amplifier that rolls music streaming, DAC functionality, and speaker power into a single, compact unit. Alongside it, the company is also showing off the Z10 DAC, T8 digital transport, and a new headphone amp/DAC from its sister brand Luxsin, called the X9.

This launch marks a big step for Eversolo as it moves beyond standalone streamers and into more integrated hardware. And if you’re the kind of listener who prefers fewer boxes and cables, the Play might just be the kind of thing that simplifies your setup, without skimping on features.

The Eversolo Play is designed to be the centerpiece of a modern audio system. It’s got a built-in Class D amplifier that pushes 60 watts into 8 ohms or 110 watts into 4 ohms—plenty for most bookshelf speakers. It also includes an AK4493 DAC chip, and support for high-res formats like DSD512 and PCM up to 768kHz/32-bit, whether you're streaming or playing from local files.

As for streaming, you get access to a pretty wide range of services: TIDAL (plus TIDAL Connect), Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, TuneIn Radio, and more. It’s also Roon Ready, and supports UPnP and WebDAV, so you can tap into your personal music library from a NAS drive or other shared storage.

There's even built-in room correction. With help from your phone, the Play can analyze the acoustics of your space and adjust its sound output accordingly—handy if you're setting it up in a room that's far from ideal.

The back panel is well-stocked: HDMI ARC, optical and coaxial inputs, a subwoofer output, phono input (for both MM and MC cartridges), USB 3.0 OTG for connecting external storage, and a USB audio out for linking up to external DACs. Whether you're hooking it up to a TV, a turntable, or another digital source, chances are it’ll fit right in.

On the front, there’s a bright 5.5-inch color screen, paired with a redesigned user interface that breaks controls into six categories: Music Services, Functions, Apps, Connect, Cloud, and Settings. It’s a familiar setup for anyone who’s used Eversolo’s earlier products like the DMP-A6.

The unit itself is built from aluminium alloy with a full-body heatsink for cooling, helping to keep performance stable even during long listening sessions.

Eversolo Play CD version.

For those who still have shelves of CDs, the Play also comes in a version with a built-in Hitachi-LG CD-ROM drive. Both editions will be available starting in May 2025. The 

Standard model is priced at €699, while the CD version comes in at €799. Pricing will vary depending on where you live.

Eversolo didn’t stop at the Play. The company is also previewing three other pieces of gear at the show:

Eversolo Z10 DAC.

Z10 DAC: A new flagship DAC with dual-mono AKM chips, an oven-controlled oscillator for clock stability, and support for high-res decoding up to PCM 768kHz/32-bit and DSD512. It even supports near-lossless wireless audio via a built-in Qualcomm QCC5125 chip. Power is handled by three toroidal transformers designed to isolate different circuits to reduce noise.

Eversolo T8 Transport.

T8 Transport: If you already own a high-end DAC, the T8 is designed to serve as a “pure” digital source. It includes HDMI-IIS, USB, AES, coaxial, optical, and even an SFP optical module output. A femtosecond-grade master clock helps keep timing precise, and the interface is similar to what’s used on the Play.

Luxsin X9 Headphone DAC/Amp.

Luxsin X9 Headphone DAC/Amp: From Eversolo’s sister brand, Luxsin, the X9 is an all-in-one desktop unit that acts as a DAC, headphone amplifier, and preamp. It includes AK4499EX and AK4191EQ chips, an XMOS 316 USB processor, and features like automatic impedance detection, balanced output, and Luxsin’s own headphone EQ system tuned to the Harman curve.

The Eversolo Play and Luxsin X9 are both expected to hit stores in May 2025. The Z10 DAC and T8 Transport are scheduled for release later this year, in Q4, though pricing for those two hasn’t been announced yet.

If you're attending High End Munich, you can find all of this gear at Eversolo and Luxsin’s shared booth in Atrium 4.1, Room E123. You can also check out other Eversolo products at Dreameadia.
